It combines the weight savings of a carbon shaft with the most durable blades they make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade was redefined to be stronger. The shape gives a smoother forward stroke with less chance of flutter, a stiffer feel, and quieter entry and exit. The carbon and nylon blade material is stronger, meaning less flex, and thicker, which makes it more durable long-term. Carbon-reinforced nylon is built to take a beating and put more torque and efficiency behind a loaded down fishing kayak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe oversized blade is sized for horsepower and control with a heavily loaded kayak, without being overly fatiguing, heavy or flexible. The 100% carbon shaft is the lightest material available, with a tight, secure weave, and it is ovalized where your hands go for comfort, control and fewer blisters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Overall Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon shaft weight savings with the most durable blades Bending Branches builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRedefined Blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoother forward stroke, less flutter, stiffer feel, quieter entry and exit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon-Reinforced Nylon:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stronger and thicker than the old material, built to take a beating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Torque:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blade material and shape put real efficiency behind a loaded fishing kayak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversized Blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horsepower and control without being fatiguing, heavy or flexible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Carbon Shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lightest material available, tight and secure weave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOvalized Grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e More comfort and control, and fewer blisters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Hook Retrieval:\u003c\/strong\u003e For getting a snagged lure back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlus Ferrule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable length and feather angle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40-Inch Tape Measure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on the shaft to verify a catch on the spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Built in Osceola, Wisconsin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the USA, 2-year manufacturing warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBending Branches Angler Ace Questions, Answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhy is the Angler Ace called the best value?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pairs the 100% carbon shaft from the top of the line with carbon-reinforced nylon blades, which are the most durable blades Bending Branches makes. You keep the weight savings that carbon buys and you spend less than the compression molded blade models cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat changed on the redefined blade?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape and the material both. The new shape gives a smoother forward stroke with less chance of flutter and a quieter entry and exit. The carbon and nylon material is stronger, which means less flex, and thicker, which makes it more durable and robust long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow does the hook retrieval system work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is built into the blade. When a lure ends up in a limb or a laydown you cannot reach, you use it to get the lure back instead of breaking off and re-tying. It is a small thing that pays for itself the first time it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAngler Ace or Angler Pro?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth run a 100% carbon shaft and an oversized angler blade. The Ace uses carbon-reinforced nylon, built for durability and torque. The Pro uses compression molded fiberglass, which Bending Branches builds for weight and longevity with a smoother, flutter-free stroke, and it costs more. The Ace is the durability and value pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use the tape measure to check a legal fish?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot 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. Use it for a quick check and carry a real bump board for anything that counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2-year manufacturing warranty from Bending Branches.
