Bending Branches

Angler Ace II Versa-Lok Paddle

A light and versatile paddle for fishing kayaks, the Bending Branches Angler Ace II Versa-Lok Paddle pretty much does everything on the water. The carbon shaft and carbon-reinforced nylon blades keep the weight low while the extended length and large blades help us power and control our wide and heavily loaded fishing kayaks. Other fishing-friendly features include a built-in hook removal system and 40-inch tape measure on the shaft for quick measurements and releases. Overall, though, the Versa-Lok ferrule system stands out—it not only allows us to offset our blades in either direction but also allows us to extend our paddles another 15 cm to accommodate multiple boats or paddle with our seats in the high and low positions.
