Looking for a new Paddle

[Jimmyz123]

I have been looking at the Werner paddles since day 1 that I got into Kayaking. I've heard great things about them. I like my AT paddle, but didn't like that the connection point is known for breaking. OEX by far has the best customer service hands down for sure.

Combine a Werner paddle with OEX's unbeatable customer service, you will be happy you did.

Seriously we have people that peddle Hobies telling you what the best paddle is.
You want an honest opinion there is no such thing as a fishing paddle, what you put a length sticker on it and now it is a fishing paddle?

I can't and won't tell you about all the other paddles out there, because I don't use them. I can tell you that I now use, and have for many years, a Werner Kaliste crank shaft and it is better than any other paddle that I have used by a large margin. Try one out and I am sure you will agree.
It doesn't have a hook remover or length marker on it but after a long day on the water you won't care, you will be stoked that you have plenty of energy left and no shoulder or elbow fatigue.

I don't have a paddle kayak anymore but when I did I used the werner ikelos, awsome paddle with a lot of power. Ya can't go wrong with one of the werner carbon fiber models.

I totally agree with Jim on this I have used this same paddle for a couple years now and it fits nicely on the side of the Hobie too ...........and Don is not far off the mark

I also have the CorreyVrecken Werner paddle. I literally have thousands of miles on this paddle without a problem. They all push water, but take a good look at the specs. Weight is going to be a big factor if you plan on fishing well away from the launch without peddles.

I pedal now also but when i padeled i used a werner camano i sold it with my xfator and man what a mistake i wish i would have kept it the hobie padal sucks

[StinkyMatt]

I have no idea about any paddles.


I CAN tell you that Greg regularly leaves all the hobies way behind him when we fish.


I would buy whatever stick he says is good.

Thanks Jim for the advice, and I have been looking at that paddle also. I remember you telling me about that one a while ago.
