Carlisle Paddles Outfitter Blade Assembly

great blade, I run them with my 13" fishing raft and they do the job. My home river is the gunnison in CO which is a really bony river and they hold nicely.

Nice blades - a staple on my boats. Nice priced, good tough blades that won't let you down. Of course if you put them between a rock and a river the river will win and bust them, but they are a good blade. Two thumbs up.

These blades are the standard go to for a reason. They are bomber and cost effective. Until I have a real job and can afford fancy carbon oars these will be the go to.

Used these blades when working for a commercial outfitter on the Colorado. These are pretty big blades that give you a lot of purchase (may be a little rough on your body if not conditioned). There were pretty durable but a couple guides I worked with had a couple shark bites in their blades (usually from rigging and derigging). I never saw a blade break but saw a few bent oar shafts. Economical and if you break a blade or bend an oar these are replaceable/detachable. There are nicer stuff out there but not at this price.
