Approach 138 Fishing Raft Package

With rugged construction, impressive load capacity, a versatile slot rail frame, and dialed-in details honed through decades of raft building and fly fishing, it’s no wonder anglers consider the Approach 138 the ultimate lightweight fishing craft. Designed for transport by truck or trailer, the Approach 138 arrives feature-packed and optimized for three anglers. Purpose-built for stealth, the Approach fishing rafts combine smaller tubes with a thick drop-stitch floor insert to enhance buoyancy, letting it draft in really skinny water. 6" drop-stitch floor with a slip-resistant EVA foam pad provides superior traction and grip when wet, reduces weight by eliminating casting platforms, and protects the floor from grit and basic wear and tear. Self-bailing floor sheds water quickly, reducing water inside the boat. Lightweight design for easy transport. All Approach rafts can fit in a standard truck bed. Engineered for ultimate durability with welded seam tube construction and rugged PVC materials, plus bottom and top wear patches. The modular Slot Rail frame with nylock hardware adjusts easily, is highly customizable, and is compatible with standard fishing accessories. Bi-directional rod holder fits two 9' 6" fly rods.
