Reliable blades for those rough on their gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade shape is designed to be large and powerful, giving more horsepower and control with every stroke, with a smoother forward stroke, less chance for flutter, a stiff feel, and quiet entry and exit. The fiberglass and nylon blade material is stronger and thicker than all other commodity paddle options, making it more durable and robust long-term, and the fiberglass in the blade is designed for forgiveness and just the right amount of flex, keeping the kayak moving efficiently even with extra gear slowing you down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminum shaft is as durable as they come, engineered for a tight finish and able to withstand the rigors of most paddling conditions. It is not the lightest option available, and it is very robust. The shaft has a vinyl wrap and is ovalized where the hands go for more comfort and control and to limit the chances for blisters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum, vinyl wrapped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5 x 18 in.

It is the opening price in the Angler line, with the aluminum shaft and thick fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades that take abuse.

What they claim for it is durability, and that is the trade. If you want the weight down, the Angler Classic moves to a fiberglass shaft at 35.5 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAngler Drift or Angler Classic?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame blade material and the same 102.5 sq. in. blade.
