Damage Free Guarantee

At Caney Fork Outdoors, we work with top-tier freight carriers across the country to ensure your kayak arrives quickly, safely, and ready for the water.

We’ve also partnered with a white-glove delivery service designed to greatly reduce the risk of shipping damage. Because of this enhanced delivery process, you will no longer be required to sign and physically inspect your kayak at delivery. This carrier maintains an exceptional 99.97% damage-free delivery rate, giving you added peace of mind from warehouse to doorstep.

In the rare event that damage does occur, Caney Fork Outdoors will take care of the issue as long as it is reported within 2 hours of delivery and clear photos are submitted via email. If the damage is cosmetic (such as light scratches or minor surface dents) and does not affect performance or structure, we will provide a repair kit when applicable. If you prefer a replacement for cosmetic issues, a 20% restocking fee may apply.

For clarity, “damage” refers to any condition that compromises the structural integrity of the kayak hull or would void the manufacturer’s warranty as confirmed with the vendor.

Bending Branches Warranty

Paddles

Bending Branches guarantees its paddles against manufacturing defects for two years from the date of purchase.

  • Coverage: 2 years from the date of purchase.
  • What it covers: Defects in materials and workmanship. Bending Branches reviews each case and decides what qualifies.
  • How a claim is handled: Repair or replacement. Bending Branches states it honors all reasonable requests.

Wood paddles: a worn-looking Rockgard tip is normal

Every wood paddle is hand dipped in varnish four times, then the drip residue is burnished off the tip. That can leave the Rockgard tip looking worn, and it shows up most on the black tips. It is normal and does not affect how the paddle performs.

Filing a claim

Warranty claims are handled by Bending Branches. Submit yours on their warranty page with photos and a description of the issue, and a Bending Branches representative will respond with next steps.

The lightest kayak fishing paddle available, the Angler Pro Carbon, with an all-new design, is the gold standard of paddles for anglers.

A 100% carbon shaft and a compression molded blade deliver a smooth, high-efficiency stroke. The blade uses a high-tech spread tow weave that increases strength, stiffness and impact resistance while reducing weight, which suits anglers going long distances or prioritizing weight above all. Proprietary Lam-Lok technology, patent pending, protects the blade edges and dramatically extends the life of the paddle.

The Posi-Lok ferrule delivers an intuitive, dual-button release with a secure connection, adjusting in 15 degree increments left and right. The oversized blade is sized for horsepower and control behind a heavily loaded fishing kayak, and the shaft is ovalized where your hands go for comfort, control and fewer blisters.

Specifications

  • Shaft Material: 100% Carbon
  • Blade Material: Compression Molded Carbon w/ Aramid
  • Blade Size: 7.25 x 18 in.
  • Blade Surface Area: 105 sq. in. (677 sq. cm)
  • Weight: 26 oz. (737 g)
  • Ferrule Angles: 15° increments (L & R)

Bending Branches Angler Pro Carbon Posi-Lok Questions, Answered

What is the Posi-Lok ferrule?

A dual-button release that adjusts feather in 15 degree increments, left and right, instead of the two fixed positions a snap-button gives you. Bending Branches builds it to be intuitive to use with a secure connection, so you can set an angle between 0 and 60 and trust it to stay there.

What is Lam-Lok?

Bending Branches' proprietary edge protection, patent pending. It guards the blade edges and, in their words, dramatically extends the life of the paddle. Edges are where a carbon blade takes its damage against gunwales, docks and ramps, so protecting them is what keeps a light paddle alive.

What does spread tow weave do?

It increases strength, stiffness and impact resistance while reducing weight. Bending Branches calls it ideal for anglers going long distances or prioritizing weight. Stiffness is what you feel in the stroke, since a stiff blade puts your pull into the boat rather than into blade flex.

What length should I order?

It comes in 240, 250, 260, 270 and 280cm. Wider kayaks and higher seat positions call for a longer paddle, and fishing kayaks are both wide and tall in the seat. If you are between two sizes, the longer one is the safer choice on a fishing boat.

Is 26 oz worth the price?

It is the lightest kayak fishing paddle available, and weight is the thing you feel most on a paddle because you lift it thousands of times between launch and takeout. Bending Branches positions this as the gold standard for anglers, and the people who buy it are the ones covering real distance.

Can I use the tape measure to check a legal fish?

Not officially. Bending Branches states it is a sizing guide, not an official measuring tool for competitive angling or for determining the legality of a catch, and the printing can vary in accuracy from the manufacturing process.

How does it ship?

Ships parcel, nationwide. It breaks down into two pieces and boxes up, so it goes out as a standard ground shipment.
