There are some pretty big differences between a Flats Skiff and a Technical Poling Skiff. One of the best descriptions we’ve found is by Scott Deal, owner and CEO of Maverick Boat Company. In this video, Scott uses a newly redesigned Hewes Redfisher 16 to compare a flats skiff to a technical poling skiff. The decision comes down to how you will use the boat. We often times suggest a person evaluate their current situation and usage for a skiff and near future requirements (additions to the family, a possible change in targeted fishing species etc.) when considering a skiff purchase.
