Angler Core Backwater delivers rock-solid fishing performance with essential features and rugged Glide construction—at a price that hits the sweet spot. Designed as the perfect step up from entry-level boards, the Backwater gives you the confidence, space, and reliability to chase fish anywhere from glassy lakes to calm inshore waters.

What Makes the Angler Core Backwater Stand Out?

Angler-Approved Stability: Built on the same wide, stable platform as the Angler series, the Backwater lets you stand, cast, and reel with confidence—even when fully loaded.

High Weight Capacity: With a 500 lb capacity, this board hauls everything you need: tackle boxes, coolers, dry bags, and more.

Essential Rigging Options: Features a single front rod holder mount, two rear mounting plates, and multiple tie-down points so you can customize your setup without overcomplicating it.

Inflatable Convenience: Tough enough for serious use, but easy to roll and pack—perfect for weekend warriors, truck beds, and remote water access.

Single Fin Simplicity: Outfitted with a foldable center fin box for easy transport, tracking performance, and a clean, streamlined setup.
