Crooked Creek 9-foot Fishing Kayak Paddle, Camo - Features a Lightweight Construction and Asymmetrical Blades - Versatile and Comfortable (50487)

I needed a paddle this long for my BeaverTail Stealth 1200 boat. It's 44" wide, the seating is high and I'm 6'3", so the water was too far to reach with usual length paddles. The BeaverTail paddle is a 9' aluminum shaft unit and quite heavy. Even though I usually propel the boat with an electric trolling motor, there are times when in the shallows or going through weeds where it's of no use. This paddle does the job, and I don't have to do yoga to reach the water. The knurled surface is a nice feature for grip. I haven't tried the dock hook / lure retrieve notch yet, but I'm sure it'll come in handy when needed.

This is an excellent two piece kayak paddle. It connects together via a simple but strong push button fitting. It is adjustable for three different paddle blade angles. What makes this a great paddle for anglers are: both blades have a notch for retrieving stuck fishing lines and second, there is a 40" measuring scale on the handle of the paddle. Unfortunately, if you offset the blade angles, the scale no longer lines up. It seems an easy fix for the manufacturer to just replicate the one half of the scale on the other sides of the paddle. Other than that small quirk, I am very happy with the paddle. It balances nicely, is not too heavy, comes with drip protectors and a paddle leash. A very happy user!

Full length paddle for the fishing kayak, it works very well. The shaft is strong adn flexible and the blades are tough.The crook in the blade to unhook lures works well.

Been using for a couple months now paddling a 12 foot sit on top kayak. Paddle is well made for the price. Light weight and strong. Great features usually found in a paddle twice the price. I feel the blades are a little small and you loose a little power in each stroke.

The length was what I needed and used it on my kayak
