The Bending Branches Angler Ace Snap-Button is a 2-piece kayak fishing paddle built around a 100% carbon shaft and carbon-reinforced nylon blades. It's the best value in the lineup: carbon-shaft weight savings paired with blades tough enough to handle a loaded-down fishing kayak on lakes, rivers, or ponds. The redesigned blade cuts flutter and enters the water quieter, with a stronger, thicker carbon-and-nylon layup built to hold up over years of hard use. A snap-button ferrule locks the paddle at 0° or 60° feather, left or right hand, with no wobble. The shaft is ovalized where your hands grip it, cutting fatigue and blister risk on long days on the water. Two built-in tools set it apart from a standard paddle: a hook retrieval notch for freeing snagged lures, and a 40-inch tape measure printed on the shaft for a fast, on-the-spot length check on your catch. Every Angler Ace is hand-built in Osceola, Wisconsin, and backed by a 2-year manufacturing warranty.
