It guards the blade edges and, in their words, dramatically extends the life of the paddle. Edges are where a carbon blade takes its damage against gunwales, docks and ramps, so protecting them is what keeps a light paddle alive.\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 ideal for anglers going long distances or prioritizing weight. Stiffness is what you feel in the stroke, since a stiff blade puts your pull into the boat rather than into blade flex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat length should I order?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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. If you are between two sizes, the longer one is the safer choice on a fishing boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs 26 oz worth the price?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the lightest kayak fishing paddle available, and weight is the thing you feel most on a paddle because you lift it thousands of times between launch and takeout.
