A 100% carbon shaft and a compression molded carbon blade deliver a smooth, high-efficiency stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade uses a high-tech spread tow weave, which raises strength, stiffness and impact resistance while taking weight out. That combination suits anglers covering long distances or anyone who puts weight above everything else. Proprietary Lam-Lok technology, patent pending, protects the blade edges and dramatically extends the life of the paddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe oversized blade is sized for horsepower and control behind a heavily loaded fishing kayak. It runs slightly bigger than some fishing paddles, and that size is what handles trickier conditions and more weight. The shaft 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\u003eLightest in the Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lightest kayak fishing paddle Bending Branches builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLam-Lok Edge Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patent pending, protects blade edges and dramatically extends paddle life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpread Tow Weave:\u003c\/strong\u003e More strength, stiffness and impact resistance at less weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Carbon Shaft and Blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e A smooth, high-efficiency stroke.\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\u003eOvalized Grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e More comfort and control, and fewer blisters.\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 Pro Carbon Questions, Answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is Lam-Lok?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBending Branches' proprietary edge protection, patent pending. It guards the blade edges, which is where a carbon paddle usually takes its damage against gunwales, docks and rock. Bending Branches says it dramatically extends the life of the paddle, and edge protection is the difference between a carbon blade that lasts and one that chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat does spread tow weave do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt increases strength, stiffness and impact resistance while reducing weight. Bending Branches calls it out as ideal for anglers going long distances or prioritizing weight. Stiffness is the part you feel in the stroke, because a stiff blade puts your pull into the boat instead of into blade flex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAngler Pro Carbon or Angler Pro?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame oversized blade footprint and the same carbon shaft. The Pro Carbon adds the compression molded carbon blade, the spread tow weave and Lam-Lok edge protection, and it is the lightest paddle Bending Branches offers for anglers. The standard Angler Pro uses compression molded fiberglass, which has more flex and forgiveness and costs less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs a carbon blade tough enough to fish out of?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is built for it. Lam-Lok protects the edges and the spread tow weave adds impact resistance on top of the stiffness. It is still a carbon blade, so it is not the one to pry off the bottom with, but it is engineered for the abuse a fishing paddle actually takes.\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.
