The Angler Pro Carbon is the gold standard of paddles for anglers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 100% carbon shaft and a compression molded blade deliver a smooth, high-efficiency stroke. The high-tech spread tow weave increases strength, stiffness and impact resistance while reducing weight, which suits anglers going long distances or prioritizing weight. Proprietary Lam-Lok technology, patent pending, protects the blade edges and dramatically extends the life of the paddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVersa-Lok gives 15cm of additional length and infinite feathering, with a system that is secure with no disengagement, robust enough to hold form for a very long time, and resistant to corrosion thanks to nylon plastic and stainless steel parts. It offers longer sizes than the previous generation, which makes it ideal for wider or bigger kayaks and a high seat position. The clamping system is backed by structural and cyclical testing plus a decade of on-water use.\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 100% Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compression Molded Carbon w\/ Aramid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.25 x 18 in.

Versa-Lok gives 15cm of adjustable length on top of infinite feathering, so one paddle covers a range instead of a single size. The Posi-Lok is fixed length with feather indexed in 15 degree steps. If you fish more than one boat, or share the paddle, Versa-Lok is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the adjustable ferrule cost me weight?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little. The Posi-Lok version is 26 oz and this one is 27 oz. One ounce buys you 15cm of length adjustment and any feather angle you want. Both are the lightest fishing paddles Bending Branches offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill the clamp slip on the water?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBending Branches built it against exactly that.

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 instead of into blade flex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow do the sizes work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are ranges: 240-255, 250-265 and 260-275cm. Pick the range your ideal length sits inside.
