Your cart is empty.Designed for kayak anglers, the Carlisle Magic Angler is a lightweight, efficient and powerful paddle, with angler specific features. The asymmetrical, slightly curved blade shape, combined with a lightweight, flexible fiberglass shaft produces smooth yet powerful strokes. A cutout in the blade is used to free snagged hooks and the ruler on the shaft can be used to measure your catch!

Overall, a good purchase. I found it light, but strong enough for those push-offs from the shore. The two pieces connected and disconnected well. I've had problems in the past [other products] with the retention pin being too hard to push in and pull the pieces apart. These separated pretty easily.One of the paddles has a cut in it to help as a lure recovery tool. I didn't find that helpful; it did little more than catch weeds. A piece of duct table took care of that. Additionally, I found that the air inside the hollow pole made it hard to lower the paddle to get near the hook.But overall, happy with this purchase.

This is the nicest paddle I've ever owned. I wish it was slightly more high-vis or if there was an orange one to match the o.t. kayak, BUT I absolutely love the green. I think this will last a long time. Very light and comfortable to hold.

These paddles are lightweight and durable, with a fairly large diameter to the handle. The hooks have come in handy many times, for dislodging snagged fish hooks. I have 3 of these. If I lost one, I would definitely buy another. The camo looks pretty cool, too.

Awesome lightweight paddle. Feels nice in your hand and has 3 settings based off you rowing preference. Use it for a fishing kayak and like the extra hook retrieval build in. I would definitely buy again.

Upon review of the contents from the undamaged box, we discovered that the section which inserts into the other section had 3 cracks: 3/8" long, 1" long, and 1 1/4" long. We are very disappointed as our newly purchase kayaks arrived yesterday but we can't use one of them.

I haven't had to use this paddle much yet but I used it to paddle out of some thick weeds so my trolling motor wouldn't get tangled and it seems like a nice paddle so far. The grip is a bit thicker than the other one I have but I could get use to that. I like the lure retriever cutouts. I have actually used them on this paddle but my other paddle has a sinilar cutout and it's great for getting lures out of trees when I'm paddling by. I honestly don't use the offset feature but it does have that. It also has a ruler on it so you can measure those lake monsters. I do wish they had the photic color in160mm because the kayak I bought this for (Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136) is photic camo. Overall I think this paddle is a great paddle at a decent price. If you are going down fast white water rivers often then maybe spend the money to get that high end paddle but if not this thing is perfect.

I have a sit in top kayak and went with the 260. Should have gone with the 250 instead, so check your sizing.The paddle is very responsive, very well made, looks fantastic, and is not very heavy. It has an adjustment so you can have the paddles slightly twisted for more efficiency in the water. The blades are very tough and rigid, even strong enough to use to push away from the bank of a river or a beach.The hook cutout is helpful if you snag a hook, but honestly I use it to paddle and it works great, better than the paddles that came with my kayak.Again, check the sizing. I went with a 260 and should have gone with a 250, I would have asked for an exchange but missed the window.Only thing I would suggest is either use gloves or add a wrap to the handle because depending on the length of time on the water, you can get blisters.Overall an excellent paddle!!! I would certainly purchase again.UPDATE:Ok, I've been using this paddle for awhile now and initially I thought going with a 250 would have been better, but I have since then changed my mind. I did do a bit of a modification to the paddle. Instead of using gloves, I bought bicycle handlebar tape and wrapped the handle. IT IS NOW PERFECT!!!I highly recommend wrapping the handle, it makes the paddle so comfortable.

I wish I could review this item, however it would be somewhat difficult, as I have yet to receive the entire product. I ordered this premium kayak paddle for my son for his birthday. On Sunday we received half of the paddle. It is a two-piece and we received only one of the pieces. No big deal. I know everyone, including Amazon, is still reeling from the pandemic and besides, returns have become so easy. So I reordered the product and was pleased to see the Prime delivery was back to the normal two days. Today we received take 2. I know what you’re thinking - that we received the other half of the paddle. WRONG! In a box identical to the first delivery was a....you guessed it...curtain rod! Yes an elaborate, gold curtain rod!! Anxious to get on the water, our son set out on the lake 4 hours ago at an unusually slow pace and has not yet returned. I will report back and complete this product review once he returns. For now I gave 5 stars because I only needed to see half the paddle to tell you it’s a really nice one!!
