Go Light. Go Far. Fish Hard.
The 12'6" Blackfoot Strike: Ultralight Edition is the minimalist angler’s dream setup—lightweight, nimble, and tough as nails. Built around the compact 12'6" Strike raft and paired with the streamlined Blackfoot Strike Ultralight Frame, this package eliminates unnecessary weight without compromising on durability or fishability.
Perfect for exploratory floats, technical water, or missions that require a portage, the Ultralight Edition is designed for anglers who carry less but demand the best. It includes all the core components of the Guide Edition—just without the dry box—making it lighter, faster, and easier to handle in tight terrain or remote access points.
Built for Minimalism. Engineered for Performance.
-
12'6" Sotar Blackfoot Strike Raft – Compact footprint, excellent maneuverability, and shallow draft
-
Blackfoot Strike Ultralight Frame – Lightweight design with a crossbar-mounted rowing seat (no dry box)
-
Guide-Inspired Layout – Includes foot bar, angling seat bar, and integrated stern anchor system

Powder-Coated Aluminum Frame – Corrosion-resistant and built in Montana
This is the ideal setup for solo anglers, low-water conditions, and floaters who prioritize efficiency and simplicity. It’s also the go-to choice for hard-to-access floats where portaging is part of the plan.
Premium Durability in a Lightweight Package
Like every model in the Blackfoot Strike series, the Ultralight Edition is hand-built in the USA with SOTAR’s exclusive Rezcoat material—a 40 oz., 100% urethane shell over a 1500 denier base fabric. The result is the toughest raft material on the market, capable of withstanding sharp rocks, heavy use, and harsh conditions without compromise.
Ideal For:
-
Minimalist anglers and fast-and-light floaters
-
Remote rivers with tough access or portage sections
-
Small, technical water and low-flow environments
