About the Branches ProStaff: Established in 2012, our ProStaff consist of world class kayak anglers. These anglers have one thing in common: an appreciation and expectation that their paddle elevates their game. To them, their paddle is not a tool or accessory, it’s a game changer. Their paddle gets them where they need to go consistently quicker and easier than the competition. We consider our pros to be representatives of our company; more than an ambassador, they are a face and voice for Bending Branches. Our pros know what their paddle does and why it’s important. Whether online or in-person, having the Branches ProStaff badge provides unmatched credibility in the sport of kayak fishing.

About Bending Branches: In 1982, whitewater and touring canoeist Dale Kicker and flat-water racer Ron Hultman teamed up to create the first composite tipped canoe paddle. This unique innovation revolutionized the paddle industry and gave birth to Bending Branches. Branches is the world’s largest manufacturer of quality canoe, kayak, and stand-up paddles. We are proud to be a privately held company located in Northwestern Wisconsin, staffed by paddling enthusiasts. We spend countless hours designing, prototyping, testing, and perfecting each of our paddles. And when that’s done, we go back and look at ways to build them even better. Lighter, stiffer, smarter, more durable, and more beautiful. Then, we might even slip out the back door on a quiet afternoon and spend a little time on the water ourselves.
