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.
File a claim and read Bending Branches' full warranty policy.
The kayak fishing paddle professionals dream about. The Angler Pro has taken Angler Paddle of the Year six times in the YakAngler consumer awards, and it is the paddle Bending Branches Pro Staff team members and competitive anglers reach for.
This is the Posi-Lok version, and it adds two things. Proprietary Lam-Lok technology, patent pending, protects the blade edges and dramatically extends the life of the paddle. And the Posi-Lok ferrule delivers an intuitive, dual-button release with a secure connection, adjusting in 15 degree increments left and right.
The blade shape is renowned for a silky-smooth forward stroke with zero tolerance for fluttering, which preserves your energy on longer trips. The oversized blade is the ideal size for horsepower and control with heavily loaded fishing kayaks in trickier conditions. The carbon shaft is the lightest material available and is ovalized where your hands go for more comfort and control.

Bending Branches Angler Pro 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 with a secure connection, so you can set an angle between 0 and 60 and trust it to hold.
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 blade takes its damage against gunwales, docks and ramps.
Posi-Lok or the snap-button Angler Pro?
Same award-winning blade shape and carbon shaft. The Posi-Lok adds Lam-Lok edge protection, the aramid in the blade, and feather adjustment in 15 degree steps. The snap-button version is fixed length with 0 and 60 degree feather, and it is the more robust, simpler connection.
What does the aramid in the blade add?
Bending Branches builds the Posi-Lok blade as compression molded fiberglass with aramid, where the standard Angler Pro is fiberglass alone. Aramid is the fiber family that absorbs an impact rather than shattering, so it pairs with Lam-Lok as the durability half of this build.
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.
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.
