Bending Branches

Angler Pro Versa-Lok Carbon Paddle

The Bending Branches Angler Pro Versa-Lok Carbon Paddle features plenty of pony-power to push our heavily loaded fishing kayak across the water. The Angler Pros are extra long to accommodate the extra width of stable fishing kayaks and feature oversized blades for more power and control. Even so, the paddle weighs in lighter than the competition, thanks to its premium carbon shaft and carbon blades. The Versa-Lok system lets us extend the length of our paddles another 15cm, so we can switch between boats without switching paddles or adjust our paddle length on the fly as we switch our seats from the low to high position. As an added bonus, the paddle features a 40-inch tape measure on the shaft—and is proudly made by hand in Osceola, Wisconsin.
