STILT
Representing an altogether new concept in poling skiffs, the Stilt is destined to make history for its sleek, artistic design, and its unparalleled performance as a technical poling skiff. See the first photos of this stunningly beautiful skiff, which was unveiled on August 29, 2009, at the NewWater Owners Tournament in Rockport, Texas.
"Tim, my initial experience on the Stilt confirmed my highest expectations. On the way to the bay, we engaged the Lamivent, and we shot from 32 mph to around 40 mph. When we reached the mouth of the Arroyo, the wind was above 20 mph, and we faced a heavy afternoon chop that was quartering into the bow. It handled the chop with the authority of a heavier boat, crossing the wave crests with its prodigious length, and keeping us dry the whole time. When we reached the flats, I was amazed by its shallow running performance. We crossed extremely shallow water on plane, and when we shut down, I was able to pole
through shallower water than I've ever fished from a skiff. It was entirely quiet, as well, in the heavy crosswind––a true test of a skiff's stealthiness. Poling the Stilt was a dream come true. I could turn on a dime, and head crosswind without losing my track. I was even able to keep up with some fleeing fish, making it possible for my client to finally catch one of them. And then, I was wholly unprepared for the hole shot. We popped up again and again in seven- to eight-inch water with a mere half turn. After spending eight years aboard a Curlew, which set a new standard in the shallow water industry––and possesses peerless qualities that are unique to that design––I can honestly say that her little sister opens up significant new dimensions in shallow water performance, as well. The Stilt is the closest thing to perfection in a poling skiff that I have ever experienced. I am truly fortunate to have one, because it will take my guiding and my angling to a new level." -- Capt. Scott Sparrow, Arroyo City, Texas
