Aluminum Kayak & Canoe Paddle - Aluminum Shaft, T-Grip, Polypropylene Blade - For Adults, Great for Recreational, Sport, Sea, Whitewater & Fishing Kayaking

First used on a recent canoe fishing trip and love them Lightweight and strong.

Great paddle for the price. No one would confuse this with a high-end paddle, costing usually over $100. But, for a value price, I am impressed.The material is what one would expect in a value paddle. It is well-enough built, however, a pro might say it is poor. Again, keeping in mind the low price, I think the materials are perfectly fine. The handle and the paddle is secured with rivots. I purchased two of these and both have sometime loose and rattling inside. Cant get it out due to the rivots. Not a big deal, really. The foam grip seems good enough for much use. I would not want to go 100 miles with this grip, but it is good for the price.The function of the paddle is adequate. This is not the best paddle design out there, but it is serviceable. There is some flex, but I have had a lot worse. It is rigid enough for casual canoeing. The paddle fin is also not the best design out there, but works effectively. The T grip is on par with other more expensive models. The position of the foam grip varies greatly with each of these sizes, apparently, and does not follow a pattern. You cannot move it on purpose, which may be a con or not over time. We have found that in the 4 ft and 5 ft sizes, the foam grip is close enough to where we want it.Overall, this is a great value paddle for the novice or to serve has backup for intermediate or advanced paddlers. I would buy this again. See pictures for dimensions and other information. I am showing the 4ft and 5ft models.

I needed a spare or emergency paddle for my new boat. This was the best solution I could find. Great!

I've been using these paddles for about 2 months now. I bought the 5-foot version because that was closest to the paddles these replaced. I'd estimate we've made probably 5 flatwater river trips ranging from 3 to 11 miles in that time. The paddle grips show no real sign of wear. The curve of the blade really lets you dig in on a stroke. I'll update again after the first year.

Went tubing with these and they work as intended. I thought the quality wouldn’t be the best for the price but I was very pleased. I can tell these will last

Works well no complaints

Maybe not the sturdiest construction but definitely does the job for my purposes.

Perfect length, light weight.
