Kayak paddle advice - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Werners are great paddles. If you can afford it, the fiberglass blades are nice. You do have to take a bit more care with them compared with the plastic though. I'm using a Werner Shuna, which is a high angle paddle, that I got off Craig's for cheap. I love it but I do wonder if a lower angle Camano would have suited me better. Over all, a nice light Paddle does make a difference. The Werner site and visiting OEX will help you decide what's best for your paddling style and budget. I have the same yak you do by the way.

Get the best paddle you can. Your going to gave it in your hands for hours on end. The lightest one is the way to go. You won't regret it. Mike
