Micro Skiffs are essentially any number of small skiffs that are used by one or two anglers, powered by less than 25 Hp, and that displace typically less than 300-400 pounds. A Solo Skiff is by all means a micro skiff and some have been calling it a nano skiff… regardless, micro skiffs are an appealing group of skiffs for many reasons. The ease of use and cost are big but I think its just the personality of the the small boats. Something about being in a micro skiff is just cool. Catching a big red, or a tarpon from a micro is awesome. There is something about pulling in a big fish in a boat all alone that also adds to it… its you and the fish. Personally it really adds another dimension to it for me – I like the whole do it on your own thing. You do not have to wait on your buddies, rely on someone to pole you (at least in a Solo Skiff) or spend a fortune going in the first place. MICRO skiffs are here to stay….and I only see this segment getting stronger.
