2024 Spyder Boats Flicker FX17: Technical Shallow-Water Poling SkiffEngineered specifically for flats fishermen who stalk wary gamefish in skinny water, the 2024 Spyder Boats Flicker FX17 is a feature-packed technical poling skiff that punches far above its weight class. Combining lightweight agility with big-boat amenities, the FX17 glides silently across shallow flats, mangrove shorelines, and backwater marshlands without pushing a heavy wave.Constructed using hand-laid bi-axial fiberglass and high-density foam, the FX17 Flicker boasts a 100% no-wood composite design supported by an advanced fiberglass stringer system. With a whisper-quiet hull, an ultra-shallow 7-inch draft, and an integrated poling platform, this 17-footer offers effortless tracking under pole power and rock-solid stability when casting from the bow.KEY SPECIFICATIONS* Length Overall (LOA): 17 ft 1 in* Beam: 77 in (6 ft 5 in)* Draft (Approx.): 7 in* Deadrise at Transom: 10°* Approx.
