Good open water paddleGood paddle as long as your in open water. The notch on top to help retrieve a lure catches bad in moss and lily pads

Great Entry PaddleGreat entry level paddle. obviously not going to compete with a $300 paddle but for the money is phenomenal. As light as I can get for the money and looks great as well. Great for the budget minded angler who likes quality equipment.

Too brittle for much tough use!Not happy with the paddle. While pushing off with it in low water conditions on the creek, it snapped into two pieces after only 8 hrs of use!

PaddlesI bought the 250cm that came in at 2.7 pounds. Used it once and returned. It is by far a great paddle for the money but I did not like the play in the middle and the line retriever notches seem like a bad idea after years of use. The notches would pull vegetation and it seems like it would chip out if you hit a rock while paddling. The notches also would catch my line when I had two rods on the front of the kayak and when I would position different by paddleing a half stroke. Once again it is great for the money but I'm going to spend a little bit more money and look into the bending branches paddles or any fiberglass 250 without the notches that BPS sells. Just make sure to do your research and get a paddle that suits you best.

Great paddleRecently purchased the 250cm paddle and used it for the first time this weekend. Great paddle for the money. Seems strong and very lightweight and moves my 260lbs with ease. Haven't had a chance to try the hooks on the paddles and reading the reviews I was a little hesitant to purchase because of the hooks and snagging in the weeds. I did notice lots of weed accumulation on them and thankfully they were easy to remove by just flipping the paddle over. After seeing that I had an idea while i was paddling through some thick muck, I turned the paddle over so I was paddling with the hooks down and instantly the sloppy mess on the paddles disappeared. Try that next time your paddling through the mess.

Not bad, great beginners paddleI purchased this paddle last year because I broke a very cheap paddle the weekend before. I opted for this one because the price was attractive, it was a longer 250cm and it has the hook removal deal in the blade.
First, the hook tool deal in the blade gets tangled on literally everything you think of. Paddle leashes, fishing line, stringers, kayak bungee...For whatever reason everything just gets snagged in it. This has almost cost me a swimming lesson a couple times now. Specifically in the river, I go to take a paddle stroke and the paddle leash gets caught, then the blade dips in the water and the current pulls the leash tight, which then causes the boat to spin, if this happens in a rapid, you're going swimming. This would be my only real negative about the paddle.
The handle is nice and stiff, has a nice powder coated finish with marked measuring increments.
The blades themselves seem to be pretty tough, I'm fairly hard on mine in the river and they haven't failed yet. I have used the paddle on numerous occasions to push off the rocky bottom.
I have noticed if I really put some power into the paddle to try and move quick, I will see some deflection in the blades themselves, but I am a rather large and power guy at 6'5" and 250lbs. So most people probably will not put this kind of stress on a paddle blade.
Starting out, this is a GREAT option for not a lot invested. I am looking to upgrade to an all carbon paddle this year, one benefit over a full carbon paddle vs the Ascend is the weight difference. The Ascend is right at 40oz in weight, most of which comes from the handle. Most comparable carbon setups are in the 29-31oz range, which doesn't sound like a lot on paper, but when you hold it all day long those 10oz matter.

what a differenceThis paddles are great ! A 100 percent improvement over my old aluminum paddles. Paddling effort is greatly reduced. The price is good for light paddles. Strongly recommend them.

Bought it for jugging.I live in East Tennessee and we have lots of rivers and lots of catfish. I have REALLY gotten into drift jugging with my kayak, and this paddle is almost a must have. The "hook removers" are such good long-range snaggers of the drop line under the jug that I usually take this paddle to use instead of the boat hook when I jug on my friend's pontoon boat. Just swipe the blade through the water beneath the jug and hold on. The last fish I caught this summer was a 30 lb blue... Nantucket sleigh ride! The paddle held fine, and I got that fish in the box. I have in fact used it to straight-pull break my 30 lb hookline when a jug has been snagged; it's tough stuff. This paddle was unintentionally but perfectly made for kayak jugging.
Thank you for your inquiry:
These are 2 pieces and they are in either 230 cm, 240 cm, or 250 cm

Looking at purchasing the ascend Kayak 10T sit on Top for my son. Will this paddle work well for him. He is under 5'5"? And what is the best length for him?
Asked by: Bren53
Thank you for your inquiry! The Ascend 10T kayak is fairly wide, so we suggest going with the 240cm or 230cm length. This is a two piece paddle so it can be broken down for easy transport.

Can this be used for a canoe paddle?
Asked by: JonMEddy
Yes it can. A canoe paddle would be more efficient though for moving water. It would not be practical.

Can these work with a canoe
Will these work with the ascend brand canoes as well?
Asked by: JonMEddy
A canoe paddle would be more effective since it can push more water in a single stroke. A canoe paddle has more surface area, which in turn can grab more water and produce more thrust per stroke.
