Review: NRS "Pike"

This isn't the first time the Pike has been featured here on YakAngler. In fact, we brought the first video of the Pike , and all the information about it, live from ICAST last summer.

Northwest River Supply is a name synonymous with white water gear. They have been building rapids-pounding inflatable rafts, pontoon boats, and kayaks for decades. With the NRS “ Pike ”, they bring the latest inflatable kayak (IK) technology to the fishing world.

The Pike is 12' 8" long, and weighs in around 50 lbs. Some might say that is heavy for an IK, but there is a good reason. It's also made of the thickest, heaviest PVC used in a kayak. The 2000 denier, 1.2mm PVC is unheard of in the world of IKs, let alone most whitewater pontoon boats and rafts, but that heavy duty build is also what allows the Pike to be fished in some of the harshest fishing grounds around the country. The weight includes the Scotty mounts, “Easy Access Tackle Bag”, and seat.

Emerald Coast Boat Show coming to Santa Rosa Mall

31.12.69

It’s been several years since Okaloosa and Walton counties have had their own multi-dealer boat show, back before the gulf oil spill and economic downturn played havoc with the area’s favorite pastime. But with great weather under way and a pent-up demand to return to the boating lifestyle, local boaters can look forward to the Emerald Coast Boat Show coming April 13-15 to the Santa Rosa Mall in Mary Esther.

“We are strong supporters of the overall boat show concept because it provides great value to our customers who enjoy a terrific one-stop shopping experience with multiple brands of boats situated in the convenience of one central location,” said Managing Partner of Legendary Marine, Fred Pace.
