Only used once so far. It's light and very comfortable to paddle. Paddled up steam and it was easy to break current and travel against.
Was on the fence between this and the angler classic. Ended up choosing the Ace because the blade had more surface area and I’m paddling a Yellowfin 130T solo. What a huge difference than the cheap OEM paddles that came with the yak. Hope they come out with some cool looking colored blades like on the pro. Shipping was fast...price was good. will definitely use ACk in the future.
Great paddle and I'm glad I bought it. Only wish I'd gotten the 260 instead of the 250 cm. I 'm 5"10 and fish on a Old Town Topwater 120 with the seat in the high position. The 250 cm works but I think the 260 would have been a better fit for me
I bought the 250cc length paddle and am using a Jackson Kilroy boat.
Absolutely LOVE this paddle! Perfect length, light, strong and I can
paddle long periods of time effortlessly. If I had known I would have
bought one a lot sooner. Great bang for the buck!
I really needed a good paddle but did not want to spend over $250. I
picked this one and have loved using it from it's first day on the
water...Just awesome!!!
NICE PADDLE! This has to be the best paddle I have purchased yet.
Super light, durable, great quality, and an added bonus with a built in
fish ruler and dehooker on the paddle. Great addition for the serious
kayak angler!
Love this paddle, it's light weight and durable. I'm satisfied with
everything about it. Personally I don't use the measuring ruler on
the paddle because I don't to get it slimy, but if I had no choice it
would be handy for sure. I recommended my buddy to get one of
these.
Very light and well built. I am 6'4" and have a 40" wide AquaGlide
inflatable kayak. This paddle feels like a feather and at 250mm is
perfect for my height and kayak width.
Purchased 250cm version to complement new AirPro Max seat for a
WS Ride. The added length (up from 230cm) met all expectations
in terms of greater propulsion from a perched seating position. This
purchase was also an upgrade from the BB aluminum angler classic
that I had used for years. It is a light, comfortable upgrade but
can't say that I've experienced a noticeable difference in energy
requirements to use either aluminum or carbon fiber over the
course of an all day or all week paddle.
The feature I like most about this paddle is the weight. How light it is
has to be the biggest advantage over the cheaper paddles. I was a bit
hesitant about spending the money, but am glad I did. I also like the
size of the blades, big enough to to move into casting position easily,
but not cumbersome.
I have a coosa HD 34" wide . I bought the 250 size I am 5,10 I wish I
would gotten the 260 size . I hit the side the kayak a lot while
paddling . As for the paddle it self it's great .strong light weight. I'm
not crazy about how much flex is in the blade . And when I'm
paddling I feel the paddle move a little where they meet together.
Next time I buy a paddle I think I will get one peace paddle along
with composite blade as well. So I don't have the issues with flex and
the movement around the joint.
This is a great middle of the road paddle! Its excellent for beginning
anglers who want quality a quality light weight paddle. Out of the
box it didn't feel all that light compared to the aluminum paddle i
had used previously but once i had it together and on the water
wow what a difference! Its so light. This may not seem like a big
deal on short trips but when you are on the water for hours at a
time taking 1000+ strokes it will really saves your shoulders. Its
very solid and doesn't feel cheap at all. I've had to push off with it
pretty had a few times ad it doesn't even finch. Some people
complain about the lure saver notch catching on bungees which can
happen but as long as you are mindful of what you are doing it wont
be a problem. I also highly recommend checking prices on other
sights and using the price match tool here. I got mine for 164!
I got this paddle for my predator13. Judging from other reviewers
I figured this brand and model would be a good choice, they
weren't wrong, Thanks! The only decision I really had to make
was the length and I was worried that it would be too long. I went
with the 250cm based on the fit chart for BB paddles using my
height and the width of my boat. I am right on the border line of
either the 240cm or 250cm and going with the longer version was
a good decision. I couldn't be happier. ACK was great to deal with
I got 15% off and super fast free shipping. I have and will be
shopping here again!
Purchased this off a recommendation. Light, fast, and really strong.
My next paddle will definitely be a Bending Branches. Also, this was
my first purchase from ACK. Excellent service and shipping. Will be
coming back.
If you can spare the extra bucks, it is worth going with a carbon
paddle. This paddle is one I could use all day long. The only comment
is the notch for retrieving your lure seems like a gimmick AND it caught
my line today when I was reeling in a fish. I had the paddle sitting
across my lap.
I'm new to kayaking, but am a
seasoned (OK, old) canoeist.
I've always purchased high
end paddles and used the
heck out of them. So far, I
can't be more pleased with the
Angler Ace. Light, stiff and
durable. Great price point and
service. I'll be back!
Awesome paddle. Light and strong. Even
getting the hang of using the hook retriever
for snags. It works but takes some practice
and focus. Easy to paddle w/ one hand/arm.
Worth the extra $$.
Light. Well made. Looks great.
I wasn't sure about the hook
retriever, but I saved a lure on
the first fishing trip I used this
paddle. When purchased with a
Kayak, the extra 15% off
makes this thing $160. Its a no
brainer.
BB Angler Ace paddle is light
weight and has good balance. I
think it is an excellent value.
You can paddle all day and still
have a little energy left over at
the end of the day.
This paddle is amazing. It's
my first carbon shaft paddle
and I can't believe the
difference it makes. Since I
fish the flats in Florida, chasing
down redfish can mean a lot of
paddling, so any way to make
the going a little easier is
greatly appreciated. I would
certainly recommend this
paddle to anyone.
This is an awesome paddle. The
measurements on the shaft
are incredibly handy and I use
it for all my game fish
measurements. I would not
trade this paddle for any
other
paddle Ive seen on the market.
Its light, its versatile and
it is
one dang good looking paddle.
Definitely a must have item.
I am loving this paddle. This
is an outstanding product. Not
only is it the best looking
paddle Ive ever seen it is
extremely
functional with all of the
measurements inlayed in the
shaft.
And did I tell you how nice it
looks. AWSOME!!!!
I never thought a paddle could
have such an impact. Boy was I
wrong !!
I am paddling less and fishing
more!!! Great, great paddle
and as always GREAT Austin
Kayak !!
This is my second bending
branches paddle and I love
both of them. The Angler Ace
is all that very lite and yet
very strong @ under 2# the
handles are oval at the grip
so you can feel the right hand
placement. the built in ruler
is handy because its always
right there in front of you so
you never have to look for
one. but the S grove slot you
put in the left paddle that
you may not need but when you
do its there thanks ! I now
have 4 new lures in my tackle
box because I did LOL.. my
wife said $200 for one paddle
are you crazy well I may need
to buy another one Thanks
Again BB
Ive used this paddle several
times since i got it and am
very pleased with my purchase.
The paddle is built very well,
no flexing when paddling, and
the ruler on the paddle is
perfect.
Q:
Hey I'm in the market for a good carbon fishing paddle for my native slayer 14.5 I'm 6,1 was wondering what size I should get thanks and have a blessed day to all
A:
For the width of your kayak, and your height, I would recommend a 240cm paddle. If you are going to be standing up then I would go with a 250 to make it easier while paddling when standing!
A:
The 250cm paddle will work with your height and width of that kayak. If you decide on a different kayak, Bending Branches has a sizing chart on their website (link below) that will help you decide on how long of a paddle you would need. The chart uses your height plus the width of the kayak to determine this.

Q:
Hi!, What would you recommend for the ATAK 120. I am 5' 9" and will be paddling probably from both the low and high seat position. Low position when traveling to the fishing spot and high when moving short distance. Thank you! !
A:
Thank you for your question! We'd recommend going with a 230-240 cm paddle based on your height and the width of your boat. This one is an excellent lightweight paddle with feathering options for offshore winds.
A:
I would recommend either a 240 or a 250cm paddle. Since this kayak does have a higher seat, I would probably go with the 250cm paddle. Please let us know if you need anything else!
