Carlisle's Magic collection consists of efficiently powerful paddles for all-around kayaking, and the Magic Angler Paddle is specialized for kayak angling with a cutout in the blade that snags lines and hooks out of the water. It also has a ruler along the shaft to measure your catches. Apart from the cutout and ruler, it touts the same asymmetrical, slightly curved shape that provides powerfully smooth strokes. The two-piece construction offers versatile adjustments and compact storage by splitting in two.
