Bending Branches Angler Classic Kayak Paddle - Product Reviews
Return to Bending Branches Angler Classic Kayak Paddle Product Details.
Price: $139.00
Description: Kayak fishing can be an addictive pastime. It sneaks up on you quietly, then completely hooks you. But getting there should be at least half the fun, and the Bending Branches Angler Classic Kayak Paddle is a first-class way to get there. A face-lift for the previous Slice Angler and a step-up from entry level paddles, the Angler Classic is slightly lighter, but with classic Branches strength and style. With features like a tape measure on the shaft and a hook retrieval built right into the blade, the benefits are more than efficiency and convenience. Bringing together classic Bending Branches quality and a new look, the Angler Classic looks good in all waters. It will help you bring your A-game to your new obsession. Enjoy having the right blade color for your trip. The Sage Green blade helps you sneak up on the fish, while the Autumn Orange blade is a bright option for any waters. Formerly known as the Slice Angler.
ACK Review: If your looking for a fiberglass paddle with a smooth surface the Slice Glass fish paddle will get you hooked. The paddle also comes with a ruler along the shaft for measuring all those keepers.

| Review: | I give this paddle a 4* rating. Well made, light weight, priced right. The only reason I didnt give it a 5* is I wish the shaft had a cushioned grip, it does get slick when wet. Ill add some foam tape to correct that. | ||

| Review: | A nice paddle. Light, strong, easy to take down and store. I'm no paddle expert, but it's a lot better than the equally priced paddles at the big sports stores. | ||

| Review: | Can't recommend this one. Good weight and price is right but mine chipped the first time out on a float trip. Can't see it lasting through the summer. You get what you pay for in a paddle. | ||

| Review: | Bought for my husband. He loves loves loves the built in measuring tape. I used it this weekend and the paddle is a little wider than mine. I like that. My hands don't have to close as much to grip it. With a little arthritis in my joints a less closed grip is a nice added bonus. | ||

| Review: | Have nothing but great feedback on this paddle. I'm new to the kayak fishing scene and wanted a good paddle but without breaking my bank. Actually used the hook retrieval on the paddle when my dads lure got hung up on a dock. Light weight, durable, and looks great. O and the shipping was extremely fast. Thank you AK | ||

| Review: | do not think you can buy a better paddle for fishing in this price range, economical, light weight, and durable what else could you ask for | ||

| Review: | Awesome paddle. The blades really gave me more power than the Werner Skagit I was using. I also love the glassed in measuring tape. It makes it easy to get a quick idea if I have a keeper or not. | ||

| Review: | This paddle is great. Its light and really grabs the water. I have already used the hook retrieval notch and it works ike a charm. If your looking for a paddle priced in the mid-range, this it. This thing feels like a 300 hundred dollar paddle. | ||

| Review: | Great paddle, just a little more surface are would suit my style better, but very smooth to use. | ||
| Reviewer: | bennettdanville | Rating: 5 | Date: 08/09/2010 |
| Review: | Excellent paddle. Nice weight and the scale on the shaft eliminates the need to carry additional equipment on the yak. I'm not sure the hook remover feature is really practical but it might be nice for removing a shark or a ray. | ||

| Review: | Excellent paddle upgraded from a used aluminum jobber, this thing is vastly superior feels a little lighter but so much stiffer in the water. | ||

| Review: | Great angling paddle for the money! Has a good bite to it but it's not a plank, very easy to paddle and the ruler and hook removal features are very useful! get a pair of yak grips and you have an excellent all around paddle! | ||

| Review: | Great paddle. Extremely light and easy to use. I haven't used the fishlure remover yet but it seems like it could work well. | ||

| Review: | I bought these paddles for a Tarpon 140. The Bending Branches Slice Glass Angler Paddles provides more than enough power and speed and don't tire you out after 6 hours on the river. Nice addition to my kayak. | ||
| Reviewer: | Mike Young | Rating: 5 | Date: 01/25/2010 |
| Review: | I am new to kayaks but not fishing from the water. As one that has thrown a cast or two into the trees, I know how frustrating it can be to retrieve the lure out of the tangled mess of the Florida mangroves. This paddle works as advertised. The ease of design is perfect to "dehook" the trees. Also a lightweight and powerful paddle. I would recommend this to any angler on a kayak. | ||

| Review: | The Bending Branches Slice Glass Angler Paddle is very light, durable, and comfortable. The appearance is great too. A high quality product! | ||
| Reviewer: | Duayne Green Okinawa JP | Rating: 5 | Date: 08/20/2009 |
| Review: | This is an amazing paddle. If you have the cheap aluminum paddle that came with the boat you bought, do yourself a favor. This paddle reduces my hand fatigue and increases my speed on my 14 ft 36" wide Odyssey. GREAT paddle!! | ||
| Reviewer: | Dave | Rating: 5 | Date: 10/27/2008 |
| Review: | This is a great paddle. I have used it once...to measure my first and only fish I've caught since purchasing my yak. It was an undersized speckled trout. Oh well, the paddle "measures" up just fine. Feels great in the hands and the bright orange blades add to the safety of visibility. | ||

| Review: | I love this paddle, very lite and I can measure the fish with the built in ruler. It is also well balanced. | ||

| Review: | So far so good, had to paddle head on in a strong south wind. A little shorter than I had anticipated..but mu fault. Good paddle! | ||
| Reviewer: | GRIFF | Rating: 5 | Date: 12/30/2007 |
| Review: | Sweet paddles! I purchased 2 sets of the 240cm models. Great design - 2 piece matching pair; so no bothersome wobble! Ruler on the shaft is great. The colors are awesome and bright for great on-the-water visiblility!! Light and easy to use. Bending Branches makes a great paddle! Great price too from ACK - I highly recommend them! ACK shipped them so fast & SAFE I thought I bought them in the store - what a great company! I will definitely be back! PS> Helpful if in the future ACK price tags were stuck on a removable tag ~ not on the paddle itself - had to use Goo-Off to get the sticky off the blade .... just a mere suggestion | ||

| Review: | I have been a paddle that looks just like this paddle, so when I received the Slice I was surprised at how much lighter it is. Ive had the paddle out 5 times about 25hrs and I am very happy with it the paddle has a very good entry and exit and it's stiff feels more like carbon than glass. I bought it because I wanted a durable paddle for rivers and was going to buy a carbon paddle for open water don't think I need the carbon now. I normally buy my stuff from local dealers but I have found a new friend in Austin C&K. Another thing I called BB as I had a couple of questions and was surprised that the phone was picked up by a real person that was very friendly and had the answers to all my questions, I felt like I was talking to one of the owners. The paddle looks great also. Mike | ||
