Backwater Paddles
« on: October 28, 2010, 12:23:41 PM »
G'day Fishing Yakkers!!

I will soon be in possession of some paddles that I will be selling through my website.  Whilst I am awaiting my first delivery of products I am taking the opportunity to gather some paddlers that would be interested in testing and giving some feedback on them.  I am looking for a total of 4 testers with Fitzy already putting his hand up for the one when I asked permission to post this article.  In return for your valued feedback (good or bad) you will be able to keep the paddle no strings attached other than the one that is on the handle of course ;D   I am happy to post the products free of charge or deliver around brissy.  Further details will be finalised once I have the testers in place and a release date for sale a short time after that. 

Thanks Fitzy for allowing me the opportunity to ask the members of Sweetwater to undertake this testing.  It is appreciated and I am assured quality feedback from top quality people  :youbeauty 

I guess its a first past the post race with Fitzy securing the first paddle so the next 3 in are winners!!!

These are sit on and sit in specific aswell so please indicate your requirements with your reply.  Thanks again Sweetwater Community.


Regards and Thanks
Colin Linton

That looks like an excellent idea.  I don't know why someone hasn't thought of it before.  If you want a lady's perspective, I'm sure Pam would be happy to try it out on her sit-on.  I may even be able to borrow it from her....

I've seen a few people using ping pong paddles to do the same thing. This looks a bit more dedicated... I like the concept.

Colin do you know what the serations on the blade are for?

I think they could be for hooking you by the neck when you cast into my spot!

Settle boys  ;D

Gotta play fair on the water, maybe spanking but no hooking!!

The patented hook-and-teeth blade design provides unparalleled function. The hook on the top of the radically designed blades affords the paddler the opportunity to grab onto lines, docks, trees, boats, swimmers and life preservers. The teeth on the outside blade edge provide positive contact during any pushing evolution with the paddles.

Hope this helps!!

Colin

And here's me thinking the sharp edges were to dig in real deep when you threw them at a jetskier 8) Do they come with an eyepatch and parrot?

Binder,

Thanks for the question  :thumb just reading through my original post I neglected to mention the use/benefits of the paddle and for that I appologise.

The paddle comes in handy when you are fighting a fish and need to manouvere your kayak into a better position to fight the fish, it allows the angler to hold the rod whilst moving the kayak thus keeping pressure on the fish eliminating the need to man handle a 7ft paddle.

It has been used in an offshore scenario fighting gamefish off the coast of America.

Regards and Thanks
Colin
