06-0017 Assassin Full Paddle Carbon Hybrid - 98.5' to 102.5' Length

Love this paddle—2nd one purchased. This paddle is comfortable to use even for extended trips. Light weight, adjustable length and feathering. Very strong for pushing off rocks and the teeth give a better grip on shallow shore push offs. I was able to rescue a fishing pole from the creek bottom with the hook, so the paddle paid for itself too.

Sick paddle? Great quality, tough, great value, full carbon fiber shaft, nice adjustable shaft, paddles excellent. I got mine in 250-260 size. Now the only downside to the style of the paddle itself is the "hook" feature. Not blaming the paddle or taking any stars away but it was very difficult to paddle through bull kelp while ocean fishing. The hook feature kept getting tangled up and it was difficult to get free. Other than that excellent paddle. Light weight also and looks mean👍

Worked great first time out. Very sturdy. Great length.

Little heavier than some other paddles but definitely very well built and rugged. Well worth the money spent. Perfect match for my Old Town Topwater Pdl 120 Kayak.

I bought this paddle to replace one of the cheap included paddles that comes with the Intex Excursion Pro inflatable kayak. It’s night and day difference how good this paddle is in comparison to the old paddle.It feels really solid in the hand, with next to no flex in the carbon fiber shaft. The blades are very handy for use in the rivers we frequent too which was one of the bigger reasons I bought this paddle.Our rivers are tidal so they can be very low and very high in the same day. That translates to me potentially pushing off of the rocky riverbed in unpredictable times, or rocks that may be submerged at some point, later being exposed. The serrated kayak blade really makes a difference for me in my application and I love having it.Also the hook on top is a pretty cool thing too, not that I use it all the time or anything but it’s a nice feature. I’ve used it to grab onto overhanging tree branches and pull in or stop periodically as needed. It’s like having an extension of your arm, and I don’t feel that there is any sort of weird drag or anything from the cutout.Im absolutely loving this paddle so far, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid upgrade from their cheap included paddles or from their old paddle in general.

Light weight looks good and tuff

Looks really sharp and is adjustable. Hooks allow you to grab dropped poles and tree branches. Handle is pretty slippery when wet and rolls in your hand causing blisters. Add some rubber grips and that problem goes away. Really have to crank the clamp down to keep paddle sections from spinning and sliding. And there is no indexing on handle, have to look out at paddle to know its position. I'm not returning but there are better options out there

I've put this paddle to the test and any normal one should of broke by now keep in mind I'm not a small guy at 6'4 347lb I have pushed and pulled my way across some pretty bad spots trees, rocks, and more then one sand bar with this thing and it always comes out unscathed backwater has more then earned a lifetime customer not that that means much if all I'll ever need is this one paddle!Update I finally broke it! but it got me out of a bad spot after dumping myself on to an oyster bed and soft mud that sucked me down waist deep I had no choice but to use this paddle as a step it worked but didn't survive now if you made it this far into my review I'm not a small person and know I asked to much of this product but it still surpassed my expectations I'll be ordering another and if I could give this more then 5 stars I would!
