The Werner Tybee Hooked Adjustable Fiberglass-Reinforced Kayak Fishing Paddle is a great value for the angler on a budget but still after the performance of high angle paddling. With design features direct from higher-end models, the Tyble is also a great spare paddle for those fishing offshore.

High Angle paddling is a more aggressive style of paddling for those with more performance aspirations. The increased vertical entry of the blade to the water (your top hand should be about forehead height throughout the stroke) keeps the paddle closer to the boat for better tracking and more efficient travel. High angle blades are shorter and wider to match this steeper entry angle. High angle designs work best when used with shorter paddle lengths. This allows the blade to enter the water sooner, supporting a faster cadence without overextending your upper arm. A slight dihedral with a flattened back face spine aids in smooth vertical maneuvering strokes.
