ORC 2017 Raffle Grand Prize Package

The ORC planning committee is proud to present this year's top prize package from AquaGlide.  The AquaGlide Blackfoot XL fishing kayak along with an AquaGlide Vario Reflex Paddle and a deluxe 12v Turbo pump.

AquaGlide BlackFoot XL Angler

Who doesn't need an inflatable kayak to add to their quiver?  Perfect for just about any conditions and at 31lbs in the provided backpack, you can even hike this into remote lakes or rivers your regular kayak cannot reach. 

Toss it in your trunk.  Check it onto a plane.

The drop-stiching in the deck means that it can be inflated to 6 PSI which makes it rigid enough to even stand on.

The attachable fin in the back allows this inflatable kayak to track true.



Here's the official blurb from the AquaGlide website...

Capacity for 2, but designed as a very spacious 1 person boat for technical angling at its finest! The Blackfoot HB Angler XL premium model includes Blackfoot fishing cooler and 7 Scotty fittings.

If casting big dryflies for hungry cutthroat is your passion, then the Blackfoot Angler HB is designed for you. While named after the legendary Blackfoot River in Montana, our rugged kayak will effortlessly glide you into your favorite honey hole on the river of your choice. With plentiful Scotty® mounts within arms-reach, the Blackfoot can be completely customized to tackle the wildest angling missions of your dreams. Industry leading stiffness, which is crucial for efficient paddling and casting, is forged through the use of premium grade drop-stitch combined with our proprietary Powerstrip™. The commercial-grade Duratex™ hull construction provides long-lasting performance while the forward Splash-Guard™ helps keep you dry while you paddle to your secret fishing spot. With sturdy molded handles positioned around the boat you will be able to board the boat easily and quickly. As a final touch, we provide you with a mounted Rugged Core™ seat on a removable, raised platform for a higher seating position. Equipped with a high backrest, mesh storage pocket, integrated fishing-rod holders, fore and aft support straps and an infinite adjustment system not only will you be able to paddle efficiently but you’ll be able to do so in absolute comfort. The Blackfoot Angler comes with a high-performance fin system includes a stiff, durable, foiled fin with unique quick-release for easy setup. Convenient backpack travel bag included.

[Edit]  It came to my attention that we promised all prizes for the raffle and cash for the tournament like last year.   I have fixed my post and removed the two replies that made this confusing.[/edit]


This is the top raffle prize for which we will sell separate tickets.

Like last year there will be two levels of raffle tickets...

$10 tickets for the grand prize AquaGlide inflatable kayak.   (one included with paid registration)
$2   tickets for everything else in the bucket raffle.

Must be present to win.

other than inflatable yak, got a list of items for raffle by chance? to drool over or in my case what more i`ll be winning   

Sweet!

I can attest that the Blackfoot is a sweet inflatable kayak.  Lightweight, durable, extremely stable, and room for modding.  What a great raffle prize!

Will their be a full (or even partial) list of the raffle prizes posted up? I know last year had many great items and sponsors. Folks may be more likely to bring some extra cash if they have a list of prizes.

Thanks!!

A lot of the donations to the raffle have been posted on the ORC Facebook page.   Sponsors like social media.  I'll work on summarizing it hear properly tomorrow with links and photos.

Off the top of my head...
We have a custom bottom fishing rod from Willie's Custom Fishing Rods.
A Garmin fish finder / gps
A GoPro HERO Session
Crab pots from McKay's
Onyx PFDs

I'm sure there is more I've forgotten and others I'm not aware of.  Last year several sponsors showed up to the ORC at the last minute with donations in hand.

Thanks Brian! Indeed I have seen some of the stuff posted to the facebook page, I just know there's some that aren't on there! Looks like some awesome prizes!

Osteoporosis?

Bummer man. What a weird autocorrect.

Great job on putting this all together, I start to make my way up tomorrow morning. Looking forward to it!

Bummer man. What a weird autocorrect.

I'm not too surprised.. I posted that at 11:45 pm from my phone.

It is my understanding that there should be a couple of AquaGlide Blackfoot demo kayaks at ORC camp this year.   

If you haven't tested an AquaGlide inflatable before, or more importantly, if you've tested other inflatables and found them lacking, you really should give them a paddle on the river.   I think you'll be impressed.
