How to Choose a Kayak Fishing Paddle

FishUSA Pro Chad Hoover knows how to choose a kayak fishing paddle. As a leader in the kayak fishing movement as an author, TV host, and founder of KayakBassFishing.com, if Chad hasn't used every paddling product out there, he's darn close. The blade shape and blade materials are important. Fishing kayak paddles tend to be beefier than touring paddles or ones for whitewater kayaking. They're wider, shorter, high-angle blades to move a lot of water and your fishing gear-laden boat easily. Important items to keep note of when you start shopping include your height, the width of your kayak, and seat height. For instance, an adjustable seat is a good match for a paddle with an adjustable-length ferrule. This way you can propel your kayak with the same tool wherever you position the seat height. Likewise, if you have a fixed seat, then a fixed-length shaft should match your needs. The type of water you plan to fish is also a consideration when you choose a paddle. If you plan to fish for extended times on the water, then finding a lightweight paddle, like one made with carbon fiber, is absolutely a good idea. Chad lays it all out for you here.
