Edward Halm from Backwater Paddle Company contacted me yesterday needing some input from YakAngler.com. He wanted to know which of the names provided was best suited for their prototype hand paddle. As I was replying to his email with the name that I though fit the best I thought… Shouldn’t this come for the YA Nation? After all YakAngler would be nothing without our dedicated user base of kayak anglers!

So I want to know what you guys think, what should Backwater Paddles call their new prototype? What names should I respond back with?

Here is the list of names:

Assault
Bushmaster
Rampage
Fury
Assail
Avenge
Extreme
Vigilante
Chaos
Siege
Ravage
Warrior
Warmouth

I've started a poll in the forums so you can vote on the names you like the best! {Click here to go to the forum poll and vote}

In a couple of days I’ll email Ed Back with the YA Nations response.

This is an awesome paddle and when it goes on sale, I will buy one. But, I believe that they need to go back to the drawing board with the choice of names. None of the choices actually represent how great a product it is. But, i don't care what they call it, I want one.

Just wanted to thank you guys for help in selecting a name for our new plastic hand paddles. The ASSAULT Hand Paddle was the name most selected for the new paddles.

Appreciate your time and consideration.

Paddle on my friends!!
