Kayak Fishing Paddle

• HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT? - Our fishing kayak paddles are made of a carbon fiber shaft and durable ABS blades. Each paddle weighs 34oz and costs less than a hundred dollars! They’re lightweight, strong, durable and affordable!
• WHY BEST MARINE AND OUTDOORS? - Our company goal and mission is to help people find inner peace and purpose through kayaking. Our featherlight paddle allows you to relax, breath and effortlessly glide through the water while connecting with nature and soaking in its surrounding beauty
• WHO IS OUR PADDLE FOR? - The number one piece of advice most advanced kayakers will offer you is a “carbon fiber paddle”. Aluminum and fiberglass paddles are cheaper, but they’re heavy! Having a lightweight carbon paddle is not only easier on your shoulders, but it makes the entire kayak fishing experience that much more enjoyable
• HOW DOES IT WORK? - At 250cm in length (98.4 inches) our kayak paddles are the perfect length for the majority of wider fishing kayaks! Each paddle separates into two pieces for easy travel and storage, includes a 40 inch (100cm) ruler on the shaft, two drip rings which prevents water from running down the shaft, and a 5 ft leash that keeps your paddle attached to your kayak. We also included a hook retrieval notch and a small cutout on the left paddle blade to help remove lures from bad casts
• WHO ARE WE? - Located in Massachusetts, BEST Marine & Outdoors is a leading provider of kayak accessories in the USA, Europe and Australia. We stand behind our products and offer complete customer service and satisfaction.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I contact the seller for replacement? Mine broke with normal use
Answer:	You should be able to find them online or, if you purchase through Amazon, contact their customer service.
Question:	I'm seeing quite a few posts about broken blades, snapping of at the end of the shaft. Any thoughts
Answer:	It was an issue that affected a small percentage of paddles sold prior to July 2020. These paddles were missing a small metal reinforcement rod that connects the paddle blades to the shaft. The issue has since been identified and resolved. All paddles currently in inventory are perfectly fine. Thanks
Question:	would this work for a canoe? is it long enough
Answer:	It’s 98” long and designed for wide fishing style kayaks, so yes, it should work for a canoe as well.
Question:	The specs say aluminum and carbon fiber, please explain what is aluminum
Answer:	Aluminum is mentioned under Product Information: Material I myself wonder about that, if you said it’s all carbon fiber (shaft and blade) then that’s great! Thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the Pungo carbon paddles foam core or straight carbon blades. Not clear on other sites
Answer:	The Pungo Carbon blades are compression molded carbon around a foam spine, but they are not "full foam core" blades like the Wilderness Systems Apex Carbon, Apex Glass, and Alpha Carbon Angler paddles.
Question:	I just got the paddle and it feels great. It is not grabbing when i slide the two side together. Any one have an idea or is it just not working
Answer:	Mine does not grab. I slide the two pieces together to the desired length, then I lock it. I have used it on more than 25 paddle trips, usually 3 to 6 miles each. Never came loose. When the paddle is over, I unlock it and the two pieces easily slide apart to stow in the car.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this the correct fit for a Pa14 for emergency
Answer:	Greetings my friend! Thanks for your time and consideration. The question: Is the Assassin Kayak Paddle a correct fit for your kayak? Many factors come into play in deciding the fit of your paddle. Two primary considerations must be measured. One, the size of the kayak (width and height off the water) Second, how tall is the paddler. Taller paddlers, and larger and wider boats will require a longer paddle. What's nice about the Assassin is that you can adjust the length to accommodate your kayak and your paddling style. Just knowing how large the PA 14 is, The Assassin 250 - 260 should fit well for your paddling applications. Paddle on my friend!

Answer:	It's a paddle. It moves a kayak in water. The ocean is water...

We also have the 230 - 240 cm adjustable shaft lengths for shorter paddlers and narrower yaks.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much does it weigh
Answer:	I no longer have this paddle, but I never noticed anything unusual about the diameter. That is to say, it’s probably the typical kayak measurement. It’s a good paddle; mine was destroyed in a freak accident.
Question:	Whats the size of the package to transport them
Answer:	I use it with my Sundolphin Boss 12SS and have used it with an Ascend 128t. My buddy has (who is taller than me) used it on the Ascend 128t as well. I can tell you with all these variables, I can highly recommend this paddle. The adjust-ability and functionality make it well worth the money.
