The Angler Ace Paddle from Bending Branches is a perfect paddle for a kayak angler who is ready to move up from their introductory paddle or who want to start off with a high caliber paddle designed for fishing kayaks. Mine is used primarily for a sit on top fishing kayak and because I'm a taller angler I use the 240-255 cm model. For an angler kayak which is not as sleek as a rec kayak, you want to have a paddle with more surface area to help move you through the water, this one has ample paddle size to get you moving.
All of the key features you want in a great angler paddle are here:
- Carbon shaft that provides the right flex to make paddle strokes easier and reduce stress on joints, lessening fatigue during a long day on the water.
- Lightweight (only 31 oz!), with tough carbon blades for durability for not only paddling but fending off rocks, trees or anything else in your way.
- Adjustable ferrule to choose different paddle angles as needed for any situation.
- Will float if you drop in the water until you can retrieve it, some metal shaft paddles are at risk of sinking.
If you are looking for a paddle that won't fail you under all kayak fishing situations, this is a great option and is made in the USA!
