bang for your buck?
bang for your buck?
sorry for always picking you brains, but which paddle do you guys think gives you the best bang for your buck? I have a cheap crack of dawn paddle that needs replacing soon. the button always gets stuck inside the paddle when i push it in and it takes me 10 minutes to get it to pop back out so i can assemble to paddle.

Find the best, lightest paddle you can comfortable afford. After all it is your engine.
I have an AT paddle, to me it is the nicest paddle I have ever used. It is ergonomically designed and has a bent shaft. I have a very nice Accent paddle that is my back up and loaner. Paul at Masthead Enterprises, a PFTS sponsor, sells Accent paddles if interested check with Paul.
Many members here have Onno paddles and are happy with them, I cannot comment on those as I have never used them.
Lots of variations on blade size and length out there. Shop around and you can find a good deal on a nice paddle.

My Signature Carbon was about $300.00...Sixt of which was freight because it is a 1 piece. It has held up to oysters, mangroves and can even pole a flat I should get out and walk across.
The draw backs are they need securing in the wind and they don't float beside the boat as well as a heavy paddle will. I'm known for throwing my paddle over the side with "Good" fish on because it gets in the way. I have a leash on it.
It's real light and has ZERO flex
