The Un-Reel
The Un-Reel is a 24-foot Nautic Star 2400 Sport. It handles skinny-water flats fishing and still holds up when we're fighting tarpon in rough pass water. The shallow-draft hull and high-riding deep-V get us from the dock to the fish quickly, whether we're poling a flat or running across the harbor.
The ride is stable and dry, and the boat is set up for fishing with plenty of room to cast, fight and land fish. She's freshly repowered with a Suzuki DF250 for smooth, reliable runs.
