Angler Pro Kayak Fishing Paddle
Product
When determining paddle length, the kayak width is the limiting factor for recreational kayaking. The sizing chart below should ensure you aren't hitting your knuckles on the hull as you paddle. For sleeker touring/sea kayaks ones paddling style and physical size plays more heavily.
| Kayak Width | Under 23" | 24" to 28" | 29"+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paddler Height | Recommended Paddle Length | ||
| Under 5'5" | 210-220 cm | 230 cm | 230-240 cm |
| 5'5" - 5'11" | 220 cm | 230 cm | 230-240 cm |
| 6'+ | 220-230 cm | 230-240 cm | 240 cm |
An easy way to measure in the field is to hold a paddle horizontally in your hands with your elbows slightly inside a 90 degree angle (most paddles are ovalized in the area they should be gripped). Your hands should be about two-thirds of the way between the center of the shaft and the shoulder of the blade. Again, always take stroke angle and boat width into consideration, and demo the paddle whenever possible.

Angler Pro!
That sea green looks amazing, I cannot wait to get this paddle and hit the river. I love to be out in the water for about 6 to 8 hours, that means that having the right paddle will keep me out there. Multi-laminated fiberglass keeps the paddle light but strong. Having the right gear for a long day of fishing makes it more enjoyable. I use to use a cheap paddle but then notice how much pressure a good paddle took off my back, that enable me to enjoy my day at the river or lake.

This thing is sweet! I was lucky enough to win one a couple weeks ago before they were available for sale. I had a decent paddle before this one, but I can really feel the difference with the T-700 Carbon Shaft and Multi-Layered Fiberglass blades. It feels like every bit of energy I put into the paddle is transferred into moving the boat forward. This is a fantastic paddle, 5 stars!
