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. The Plus ferrule design allows the length to be adjusted up to 15 cm. 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.
Hi-vis tape measure printed on the shaft in both inches and centimeters
Two piece fiberglass shaft with Plus ferrule
Telescoping design allows the length to be adjusted up to 15 cm
Large, fiberglass reinforced blades in two color choices

Ordered this paddle after looking at many of the on-line reviews. Somewhat concerned about a few negative reviews of the adjustable length feature. Initial impression: positive. Took paddle out on the water yesterday. Lightweight, easy to paddle. Length adjustment was easy to set. We have multiple kayaks, so adjustable length is a needed feature. Not sure that I will ever use the hook retrieving feature, even though I will be fishing. I will update this review in a few weeks, but my initial impression is favorable.
This is my first kayak. The 3waters BF120 is a great kayak overall. It is heavy and a little cumbersome when loading and unloading in my truck bed due to the weight. Its very stable and comfortable. The rubber straps on the sides do not really secure your rods. They tend to come undone very easily. I no longer use them. The rod holders behind the seats come with a bungee cord to secure your rod/reel, but the clip is very small and hard to clip back onto the bungee cord. I was able to replace the clips on the bungee with one that is a little bigger and its much easier now. The deck is noisy but I was able to fix that by adding a foam mat to it. The foot rest seems very wobbly (weak), I'm worried i might break it. Still working on a fix for that. The rudder pedal is definitely weak. Because of the wobble in the foot rests, its a little difficult to use the rudder. Its also very hard to pull the rudder to the up position. I put lube down the cable tubes of the rudder and that made a huge difference in its performance when it comes to steering but still hard to pull to up position. The Bending branch Angler Classic seems to be a great paddle but I think its a little short for this kayak. I have it at max extension (255 cm) and i feel i need more when i have the seat up in the high position. The NRS Chinook PDF is comfortable but can get a little warm on the back.
Overall, I like the package i purchased. The kayak could have been better. I'm not dissatisfied, just not ecstatic. Just happy to be fishing :)
Great light paddle. The telescoping feature is necessary as you won't know for sure which size works best for you until you're in the water. I've used it a couple of times on short trips (40 minutes) and had no issues nor felt it was heavy. The ferrule is tight and there is no play in it. Btw the paddle floats or at least mine does; not sure if that's the case with all paddles.
