Fish'n Rail

Fish'n Rail™ Testimonials

The support rail has eliminated my fear about stepping down from the bow of my bass boat onto the deck. The rail also is an assist for stepping up to the bow area, particularly in rough weather. Installation was not a problem for River Marine here in Jacksonville. Thanks to the support rail, my handicap limitations have been greatly eliminated.

Best Regards,

I found that the railing system on your boat hindered me very little while we were fishing. I was able to quickly and easily slide under the railing on the bow when a needed to net a fish. I never found myself hitting my head or shoulders against that front rail when I backed out and got back onto my feet. The few times that we encountered wavy conditions, the railing system actually came in quite handy. I found myself leaning up against it to stabilize myself while I made casts. I don't recall finding that either the front or the aft railings restricted my movements around the boat in any way. If anything I found them helpful when getting in or out of the boat. I also used them to pull myself back up onto my feet after making lure changes.

Being on our feet as much as we were during our two day bass tournament, we were bound to encounter waves from other passing boats. It was inevitable that we would rely on the railings for balance during these times. Their sturdy nature allowed me to trust that they would bear my weight when I really needed them.

Michael O'Haver on using the Fish n' Rail

 

"The Fish'n rail was great! The rail did not get in the way whatsoever. The rail actually was nice for leaning on when I my legs got a little tired from standing for long periods of time. The Fish'n rail was sturdy and placed in the right areas of the boat. The rail is a great idea for disabled or able bodied fishermen alike. The rail gives you something to hold on or lean on in rough or calm waters. It was easy to mount to boat and just as easy to take off the boat. Good job guys!"

Mark Reynolds quote on using the Fish'n Rail at the Paralyzed Veterans Association Fishing Tournament.

 

I had seen some of the articles about the Fish-n-Rail and I am sure like others I thought that looks like it would get in the way but after fishing in your boat that was equipped with the rail I soon changed my mind.

The rail system was awesome and not only can I see the application for people with disabilities, but the advantages it could provide for our older generations and even for the average angler.

I found myself using the rail instead of the steering wheel or counsel to pull my body up from the seat which I am sure is better for the boat in general.

The rail was position in a way that never interfered with my fishing and was actually a helpful spot to lean against or over when flipping, and again my line , lure or bait never hit the rail or got entangled.

The rail was a little harder than the butt seat but was much more stable and didn't suddenly rotate when the trolling motor moved or a wave rocked the boat.

Observing the construction I can see that it would not take but a few minutes to uninstall the rails if wanted and the plates left behind would not be in the way of any fisherman- then when some one would need the rail because they were handicapped or just older and needed some more support they could be quickly installed.

I also see the benefits of the Fish-n-rail for big waters where the wind and waves are always rocking the boat and for the worst case scenario a stable bar an overboard person could safely pull themselves back into the boat with.

This product will provide the ability for lots of people to get back to the sport we all love.
