{"product_id":"bending-branches-angler-navigator-snap-button-kayak-paddle","title":"Bending Branches Angler Navigator Snap-Button Kayak Paddle","description":"\u003cp\u003eOld-school Bending Branches beauty in a beefed-up paddle that meets the needs of the modern-day kayak angler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood blades on the Angler Navigator are known for their durability and their quietness. The dense, dark woods Bending Branches selects hold their form and stay intact, and there is not a quieter entry and exit than these blades. Wood gives one of the easiest, most forgiving forward strokes in paddling. The natural buoyancy springs the paddle out of the water, and the wood absorbs the rigors of the river or lake rather than passing it all back to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blades are wrapped with Rockgard tip protection and coated with 2 oz fiberglass, which seals in the wood and protects it from abuse and long-term wear. The oversized blade is sized for horsepower and control with a heavily loaded fishing kayak, and the carbon shaft is ovalized where your hands go for comfort, control and fewer blisters. This is the snap-button version: fixed length, tight fitting and secure, with a 3-hole design for 0 or 60 degree feather angles, left or right hand control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVideos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-item\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SW3Cl1ra9Io\" title=\"Angler Navigator from Bending Branches (Official Product Video)\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOfficial product video from Bending Branches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\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 100% Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Alder, Roasted Basswood \u0026amp; Basswood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.25 x 18 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Surface Area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 105 sq. in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeather Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0° and 60° (L or R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFerrule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snap Button, 3-hole, fixed length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rockgard tips, 2 oz. fiberglass coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-year manufacturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade In:\u003c\/strong\u003e Osceola, Wisconsin, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood Blades:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, dark woods that hold form and stay intact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuietest Entry and Exit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nothing in the line moves through the water quieter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Buoyancy:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wood springs the paddle out of the water each stroke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForgiving Stroke:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood absorbs the rigors of the river or lake and flexes more than composite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRockgard Tip Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plus a 2 oz fiberglass coating that seals the wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversized Blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horsepower and control for a heavily loaded fishing kayak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon 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\u003eSnap-Button Ferrule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fixed length, tight, secure, no wobble.\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 Navigator Questions, Answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDo wood blades hold up to kayak fishing?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBending Branches builds them to.
