Paddles for Fishing Kayaks & Fishing Sit On Tops

Recommended Paddles For Fishing Kayaks

We stock a great range of paddles that are recommended for use with fishing kayaks. We have options available to suit all budgets, from standard alloy shaft options up to high quality carbon shaft paddles with efficient composite fibreglass and carbon blades. Fishing Kayaks are usually wider than typical touring and sea kayaks, so often require a longer paddle to allow you to paddle without hitting the side of the kayak. Some fishing kayaks have raised seating systems and these are also best used with a longer length paddle. See below for our recommended paddle length guide for your fishing kayak.

Fishing Kayak Paddle Size Guide

• 220cm: Recommended paddle size for fishing kayaks upto 80cm / 31.5in wide
• 230cm: Recommended paddle size for fishing kayaks 80-90cm / 31.5-35in wide
• 240+cm: Recommended paddle size for fishing kayaks over 90cm / 35in wide and those with high framed seating systems

Alloy Shaft Paddles for Kayak Fishing

Alloy shaft paddles are great for those on a budget, or for those wanting maximum durability.

Fibreglass Shaft Paddles for Kayak Fishing

Fibreglass shaft paddles tend to offer a slight weight reduction over alloy shaft paddles. They are also much warmer to hold than an alloy metal shaft - this makes them more comfortable to use, especially when paddling in cold waters!

Carbon Shaft Paddles for Kayak Fishing

High performance paddles to ensure you get the most out of every paddle stroke. Carbon shafts are much lighter than alloy or fibreglass shafts. These paddles have stiff and lightweight fibreglass or carbon blades that flex less than plastic, meaning that more of your input effort is translated to propelling the kayak forwards! Glass and carbon blades are more fragile than plastic blades so don't go pushing off the beach or rocks with these blades! These paddles are a great choice for kayak anglers who are looking to paddle regularly or cover distance on open waters.
