The Werner "Camano Hooked" Paddle is a great new angling paddle. The best angling paddle is of course the best paddling paddle and the Camano provides the perfect combination for paddlers who want gentle power and use a relaxed all around touring stroke. The Camano Hooked features the award winning Low Angle mid-sized blade design and offers the best balance of light swing weight, durability and performance.

The Accent "Pro Core" Paddle is the lightest paddle on the market to date weighing in at 24 oz. The light weight and stiff blade give the kayak angler longer distances with less fatigue. The LokTite Feathering system allows 360 degree at 15 degree increments. The Pro Core begins with a high density solid foam core. The core is then layered in carbon and fiberglass. Accent uses Dynel edging to ensure maximum outer rim reinforcement. A rib-less back provides silent water displacement making this paddle the ultimate in technology, efficiency and performance.. ...

When I started choosing my kayak fishing paddle, I immediately knew Bending Branches was going to be the brand. They are hand-crafted in my home state of Wisconsin. They are world-renowned for top-notch quality and performance. Easy choice. The difficult choice was which model. They all are rated well in various circles. My fishing kayak is wide and stable. Thus, I wanted the lightest paddle possible to extend my time on the water. The Angler Pro was the obvious choice. I fell in love when I first held it and...

As a competitive kayak fishing tournament angler I am a big believer in the importance of having a quality paddle while fishing. Other than your kayak and your PFD, it is the next most important piece of equipment you can have on the water. In this Bending Branches Angler Pro Paddle Review I’ll share some thoughts on why this is the ultimate paddle for kayak fishing. My fleet consists of three kayaks (Wilderness Tarpon100, Wilderness Ride115, and Hobie Pro Angler 12) and fourBending Branches paddles (Sunrise, Angler Ace and two Angler Pros). Bending Branches is my...

When I set out to find something to keep my sleeping bag and change of clothes dry I turned to dry bags. I wanted to test them out first and see how they work and if they actually work. Instead of spending a bunch on a bag to see I opted for the cheapest route on ebay on their largest bag available. I ended up with a 70 liter Blue Field dry bag. I must say... for 6.50 I am truely impressed that the think is actually waterproof!! We ended...

Kayak fishing can be an addictive pastime. It sneaks up on you quietly, then completely hooks you. But getting there should be at least half the fun, and the Bending Branches "Angler Classic" Kayak Paddle is a first-class way to get there. A face-lift for the previous Slice Angler and a step-up from entry level paddles, the Angler Classic is slightly lighter, but with classic Branches strength and style. With features like a tape measure on the shaft and a hook retrieval built right into the blade, the benefits are more than efficiency and convenience. Bringing together classic Bending...

Werner’s "Cyprus Hooked" paddle allows for a quiet approach thanks to the smooth back face of the light high-angle paddles, allowing for a quiet entry and exit from the water. The Cyprus is especially beneficial for kayak anglers that utilize a high-angle paddling style.

The Werner "Skagit Hooked" Fiberglass Straight Shaft Paddle is a great new angling paddle. The best angling paddle is of course the best paddling paddle and the Skagit is an unbeatable value for a fishing paddle that is suited well for new entrants and experienced fishing kayakers alike. The fiberglass nylon blades have the lightest swing weight at this price coupled with a smooth, stable stroke. Adjustable ferrule system is standard.

The "Assault" Hand Paddle from Backwater Paddle Company is going to make kayak fishing a whole lot easier. It's the perfect paddle when you need to move just a few feet or adjust the position your boat while holding still holding on to your rod. The Assault paddle is a must-have for fishing in windy conditions to keep your boat facing the right direction. It's lightweight and has a slim profile so it's easy to tuck next to your seat or at your feet to keep it handy. The hook is useful for grabbing on to the dock to...
