With that said poling platforms I have looked at new or second hand will run at least $400 to $800.

I do stand on the cooler I keep in the aft cockpit though. It's not like you'd be back there in any kind of rough seas anyway. I plan to do lots of this if the weather ever breaks around here. The 130 is a great little platform to fly fish from. Roy Ichthus 130 Sport
