Looking for a new Paddle
I'm looking to get a new paddle. I have had the AT paddles and like them, but was wondering how you all, or what you all think of the Aqua Bound, and Bending Branches paddles?

The Aqua Bound Manta Ray Carbon is what i got and its a great paddle, the blade doesnt flutter and its lighter than most paddles.

The Bending Branches Angler Pro is the best Kayak Fishing paddle on the market right now for both price, performance & quality, IMHO.
Cuts like a hot knife through butter. http://bendingbranches.com/paddles/k...ing/angler-pro Kayak fishing pros don’t just focus on lures and lines. They focus on their paddle. They want light weight, so paddling doesn’t sap their energy. They demand strength from tip to tip. And they expect performance that matches their rigs. The Angler Pro is that kind of paddle. The Anger Pro was designed by kayak anglers, for kayak fishing. Serious gear for a serious fishing experience. This 30oz gem from Bending Branches, with its T-700 Carbon shaft and Multi-Laminate Fiberglass blades, makes us all look like pros. Get one, and you’ll give even the pros a case of paddle envy. Product Details Blade Material: Multi-Laminate Fiberglass Blade Size: 6.8" x 19" (104 sq in) Blade Color: Sea Green, Camo Shaft Color: Black Shaft Type: t-700 Carbon Lengths Available: 220 cm 230 cm 240 cm Weight: 30 oz (850g) Drip Rings: Black - Heavy Duty Ferrule Angles: 0º & 60º - Left or Right Shaft Size: Standard •

He probably does not remember, but I bought Wades old Bending Branches paddle about a year ago. I picked it up for my touring boat because of its light weight and good paddle design. Only had a chance to use it a few times (I've been pedaling ever since), but it is light years better than my heavy old Werner glass paddle.
