The Werner Shuna paddle was recommended by Josh Neumeyer and it is an incredible tool. Everything he said it would be. Light weight, fast and effective for maneuvering my Diablo Amigo. The skeg is a must have to make the boat track.
I used all of the items purchased for the 1st time, last Friday. Fished a 40 acre private lake here in NTX. Caught 13 bass to 18” on TX rigged senkos and lizards. Had a fantastic time. Everything worked great. Thanks to Guillermo Gonzalez for introducing me to the Diablo kayaks and to Josh Neumeyer for introducing me to bass fishing from kayaks. My only disappointment was that the Larry chair didn’t show up with straps to attach it to my new boat. Had to settle for zip ties until I can find the proper straps.
I'm not sure if I just a bada$$ or this paddle is thin...it just flutters
so much it's irritating! I'm leaning toward the latter. Otherwise it's
great, lots of customization with the AFS, lightweight!
I was a little suspicious of all the reviews and articles saying how
the high cost for a carbon paddle was worth it.
But Wow, I didn't know a paddle could make such a difference, the
extra $$ for the Werner Shuna Hooked was worth it!! I upgraded
from my starter paddle that came with the Vibe Sea Ghost 130
kayak the paddle length is 230cm and too short for someone close
to 6' tall.
On the water, I felt the difference immediately, Shuna weighs 27.5
oz. compare to the Vibe paddle which weighed in at close to 56 oz.
the lighter paddle performed effortlessly pushed the 13 foot Vibe
through the salt water flats and bay areas of northeast Florida.
Keep in mind this Shuna paddle will be with you for many years
and will outlast most Kayak's so the extra $$ is well worth the
price for a high quality, light weight, fiber carbon paddle.
I had no idea how much easier a lighter paddle would be to manuver.
This one is amazingly light yet powerful. Definitely reduces load on
your arms and is super sleek.
This is my first yak paddle, I use it to push myself of banks, trees,
docks, rocks. So far has not chipped, been scratched, or broke. It's
light weight, the adjustable offset is nice especially in the wind.
I have had this paddle for almost a year now. At first, I was
concerned that the fiberglass blades would not be able to handle
the abuse that my Bending Branches Angler classic (plastic blades)
took. But i have found that to not be the case. Its been well used in
rough rocky rivers and it has held up great, it is a very well made
and i expect many years of service. This thing is light at 27.5 oz.
I'm not sore at the end of a long day like i was with my old paddles.
It is truly a good value at this price considering how light it is. Do
some "weight to price" comparing on other paddles and you will see
what I mean. Overall I couldn't be happier, highly recommend.
Wow, I didn't know a paddle could make such a difference. I
upgraded from my starter kayak to a Cuda LT and realized my
230cm paddle was too short. I was using a Carlisle Magic Plus and
it seemed like a reasonably decent paddle. Comparatively the
Shuna is virtually the same blade shape as my Magic Plus. In my
hands the Shuna felt lighter especially on the ends. On the water I
felt the difference immediately. This paddle is incredibly light and
moving up to a 240cm paddle in the Cuda LT made a big difference.
Until now I never understood why people spent $200+ on paddles,
now I do. I would definitely recommend this paddle.
i order this paddle based on a answer to a question ask by someone
else.. i like the paddle, it is very light and i got the wider one because
of my SOT kayak, slayer propel 10.. nice ... very nice..i like the
ability to change the angles of the paddles with ease, and they lock in
.. looking for many years of use...
Werner Shuna Hooked Carbon Shaft/Fiberglass Blade Kayak
Paddle: I would never have believed how much difference a paddle
could make in the performance of my kayak, as well as my
endurance, until I put the Shuna Hooked into service. I spend
hours at a time in my kayak and typically paddle at least several
miles each outing while fishing for both fresh and saltwater
species. The lightweight but powerful Shuna makes my trips all the
more enjoyable.
New to Kayak Fishing, Bought
this paddle cause I found out I
am a high paddler. Used it 2
times so far and really like the
feel and weight. Probably the
best paddle for the money.
Buying the same paddle for
second time, not because the
first one broke, but because
its a great paddle. I have
been using it for year and a
half. I have paddled 50+ miles
distances per day with it and
did not feel necessity to have
a lighter paddle. Besides the
ocean, it also worked on
Floridas slow moving rivers.
This paddle is probably the best you can get for this price on the market. It's light weight, strong and with good size blades, so that you can paddle the whole day and not feel destroyed afterward.
It is a great paddle for somebody who is novice to paddle sports and it will accompany you until you are advanced paddler. Most likely you will not feel necessity to change it for something better, unless you aspire to paddle 30+ miles a day for several days in row :)
Q:
I have had a 230cm paddle for many years; however, I recently purchased the FeelFree Lure 11.5 and now it feels cumbersome and unable to push the boat. What suggestions would you have? Does it need to be longer? A different shape? Thank you.
A:
If the Lure 11.5 is wider than your existing boat, then you would certainly have a more cumbersome paddle stroke. I would suggest going at least one size up (240 cm) based on the width of this boat and the height of the seat. Keep in mind the path that the paddle blade takes when hitting the water
Q:
Does this paddle extend at all to comping ate for seat height? Also I'm 5'8 and will be purchase a feel free lure 11.5, what paddle length should I get?
A:
Hey there, thanks for your question! This paddle does not extend. We would recommend you go with a 240 cm based on your height and boat width, but you may want to increase the length to 250 cm depending on your seat height.
Q:
I am a first time buyer and am planning on buying a kayak mostly for saltwater fishing (Ocean Kayak - Prowler BGII). I am not quite sure which style of paddle nor length to buy. I picked this one because Werner claims this is for "a more aggressive style of paddling for those with more performance aspirations" and I suspect a higher angle blade will allow me to maneuver coastal waters with more ease as opposed to a paddle with a lower blade angle.. but I'm no expert. I also have read that I will be able to stand on this kayak as well but I don't want to carry two different paddles unless I have to. After looking on google, I stumbled upon a competitor's website that recommended a 220 cm paddle based off my height (5' 6") and the width of the kayak (34"). Based off this information, my questions are:
1) Is this paddle sufficient for what I want to do in coastal/bay waters or would you recommend a different style or brand?
2) Can I also use this in lakes/calm waters or is it overkill?
3) Is a 220 cm paddle suffice for my height and kayak width?
4) Can I use the same paddle to maneuver while standing up or should I buy a separate paddle? Could I just get the longer paddle or is there a hybrid paddle?
A:
If you are thinking abut standing up and paddling in your kayak I would go with a slightly longer paddle. Perhaps a 230cm. I like Werner paddles and Aquabound paddles (personal preference) there are many to choose from. You could also look into the Accent Hero Angler Adjustable Length Paddle or the Accent Transformer FX Slider Paddle.
Q:
I am new to kayaking and my only purpose is fishing and transportation to hunting areas. I am 5'9" tall 220 lbs and an active person ( sports, weights, outdoors) I have a pelican catch 120 and needed a recommendation on paddle and length? I will be on shallow rivers, big lakes, and trekking miles on both.
A:
Thanks for your question!
With your boat your would want atleast a 240cm just due to the width of the boat. Any Werner product such as this is a great option. Next you want to look at shaft material; Aluminum is stiff and durable but if you wanted to upgrade to something lighter, Fiberglass is a great option and its warm on the hands. I do not think you would want to jump straight to the carbon material for your stated uses. I would check out the Werner Skagit Paddle, The bending branches slice glass, the werner baja paddle, and the Aqua bound sting ray,
Hope this helps!
Q:
I am 6'2" and recently purchased a Wilderness System Ride ACK angler 115. The width of the boat is 33". I am new to kayak angling, but feel that the high angle stroke would probably be my preferred method of paddling. What size Werner Shuna Hooked paddle should I purchase?
