Description

The kayak fishing paddle even professionals dream about.

Features
  • Bruiser color features Proprietary Lam-Lok™ Patent Pending technology protects blade edges and dramatically extends the life of the paddle
  • The 6x winner of ‘Angler Paddle of the Year’ award as voted by consumers in the YakAngler awards, marking it the best paddle in fishing
  • New pattern Bruiser designed in collaboration with local artist Taylor Berman
  • The Angler Pro is commonly used by Bending Branches Pro Staff team members and competitive anglers
  • Blade shape is renowned for offering a silky-smooth forward stroke with zero tolerance for fluttering, preserving your energy for longer paddling trips
  • Oversized blade is the ideal size for horsepower and control with the heavily loaded fishing kayaks handling trickier conditions and more weight
  • 100% carbon shaft is the lightest material available
  • The shaft is ovalized where the hands go for more comfort and control
  • 40-inch tape measure on the shaft allows you to verify catches on the spot
  • Versa-Lok™ offers 15cm of additional length for wider kayaks and elevated seating positions and infinite feathering options
  • Versa-Lok™ is corrosion-resistant
  • Versa-Lok™ clamping system is backed by structural and cyclical testing, plus a decade of on-water use.
  • Carbon ferrule insert for a tighter, more durable connection—proven through testing and years on the water

Here at Bending Branches, we build all our paddles to order (much like a fast-food restaurant), so paddles do not collect dust or become dated. As soon as you place your order, a real person in our Osceola, Wisconsin factory will start preparing your paddle. Shipping windows vary by product and are estimated on individual product pages. Thank you for supporting American manufacturing.

About shipping this item

Heads up: this is one of our larger items, so a couple of things work a little differently here:

Outbound shipping is a flat fee based on the item's weight (you'll see it in your cart before checkout), so our free shipping on orders $150+ doesn't apply here.

Returns are still welcome within 30 days, with one exception: oversized items have a flat $40 return shipping fee. If you send it back, that $40 comes out of your refund, exchange, or store credit.

If your item shows up damaged, defective, or it's something on our end, we've got it. Return shipping is always on us.

Read the full return policy details here.

Questions before you order? Call us at (817) 823-0010 or email hospitality@mountainsports.com. We're always happy to talk it through.
