It's hard work keeping our fishing buddies or clients in casting positions all day, which is why we've opted for the Cataract StreamLite Oar Shaft + Rope Wrap. A half-pound lighter than other Cataract oars, the Streamlite saves us energy to keep us on the sticks as we put our partner on fish. The mix of carbon and fiberglass cuts down our swing-weight while the included rope wrap protects the shaft from the oarlocks for a better rowing experience. This shaft is compatible with Cataract, Cuthroat, Magnum II, and Streamlite blades.
