Branching Out- Get a Grip!!

When it comes to many sports, one’s grip is not often thought about, but it can be the difference between success and failure. Ask any above average golfer how important their grip on the club is. Or any baseball player, tennis player, etc. and they are likely to tell you that the grip is a very important aspect of their sport.

Branching Out- PADDLE TO THE AMAZON!!!!!

Have you ever had to pack for an extended canoe or kayak trip? If so, then you know about all that goes into the planning. Just some of the questions are: What stops are you going to make? What food should you bring and how much? What’s the forecast look like? The thought process can go on and on depending on the number of variables you want to (TRY) to plan for.

Branching Out- No Doubt A'Boat It!

Welcome back! This entry is being written while sitting outside as the long-awaited sunshine and warm weather has finally arrived. It’s around 50 degrees today (shorts weather in the midwest!). There is more and more grass peeking through and more and more ice melting off the lakes and rivers.

Branching Out- Canoe and Kayak Paddle Sizing

Hello again fellow paddlers! Well, mother nature continues to bring more frozen moisture to much of the midwest so the paddling plans for much of the area are still on hold.

Branching Out - Bent vs. Straight Shaft Canoe Paddle

By looking outside, one might not know it, but believe it or not, paddling season is fast approaching here in the midwest! For many, paddling is a chance to step away from the normal routine. It’s about the sights, smells and sounds that only mother nature can provide that humbles a person and reminds them of the greatness of her beauty.

Angler Pro Paddles To Personal Record Bass

Enjoy the video of my epic encounter with a monster five pound Alabama Spotted Bass on a tiny flooded creek. The 28 ounce Angler Pro makes for lightning quick paddle strokes and adjustments, going beyond just float fishing to precision, dissection of a fast moving water. Thanks Bending Branches and thanks Angler Pro!

Angler Pro Day 1: New Personal Best Spotted Bass

To properly celebrate the arrival of my new Bending Branches Angler Pro 240, I decided to brave a rock strewn, post-flood stage tributary of my favorite river. With extensive paddle time using my Angler Ace, I was pumped to try out the lighter, glass-bladed Pro. The rain swollen creek, normally a calm float, was swift and cold with calm shoals turned to class II rapids.
