Carbon fiber paddle-worth the money? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have always paddled with a fiberglass paddle but have wondered if carbon paddles are worth the money......

Yes

I paddled a cheapo paddle for a long time and when I switched to a high end carbon paddle the difference was very noticeable. Of all the equipment on board, which do you use the most? The paddle. No better place to spend the extra dollar.
