"ANGLER YAK PADDLES"
I still use BB Angler Classic. The hook retriever really works!
It's tuff enough & I think I gave arbout $100 for it new.

unfortunatly I have forgot my paddle on more than one occasion. I used my stake out pole as a paddle at least 3xs . I found a fence picket that had washed up 1 morning near the ramp.
I used that picket all over the lake. I chose to made it work rather than driving back home. I tell ya'll this to say, high $ paddles r nice but not a nessesity, some use whats easy or what they can afford. Some paddle more and fish less. I can say hat there are differences between paddles. If your on the fence about them, my

is its worth it. The newer carbon fiber paddles r pricey but often come with a life time warranty.
I tell most folks to look at a 240 length 1st. If they have good upper body strength, I will also tell them to look at medium - fat blades 1st. If not look at a more narrow blade or concider a peddle yak.
Thanks for weighin in guys. Please feel free to share info here & opionions if u like
