"The YakGear Backwater Assassin Carbon-Fiber Hybrid Kayak Paddle serves up the full-size version of its legendary predecessor, the Assault Hand Paddle. Thanks to the carbon-fiber construction, this paddle delivers incredible strength in an incredibly lightweight design. Featuring a patented ""hook and teeth"" blade design and raised graphics package, you can use the blade to grab lines, pull in decoys, or snag the dock. The large blade pulls a lot of water so you can move swiftly and turn with ease. The YakGear Backwater Assassin paddle accommodates both high-angle and low-angle paddlers. The carbon-hybrid shaft cuts down on weight, and the ABS-injected-nylon blade is tough enough that it won't crack or flex when used to push off on any surface. Includes drip rings. Patented serrated-teeth edge let you launch off solid surfaces Hook feature to grab your line, decoy, dock, or tree limb Lightweight, durable carbon hybrid shaft Super-tough ABS-injected-nylon blade Accommodates high- or low-angle paddlers Strong, fade-resistant construction Includes drip rings"
