Ferrule Options - Posi-Lok, Snap Button, TLC

Posi-Lok® Ferrule: In addition to the 3-hole snap-button ferrule and TLC ferrule, you can now choose the new Posi-Lok ferrule, which clicks into position firmly and securely and features strong, corrosion-free composite construction and convenient dual-button release.
Posi-Lok Ferrule
3-Hole Snap-Button: Our trouble-free snap-button ferrule comes with 0 and 60-degree RHC and LHC feature positions. Quiet and precise, it won’t squeak or wiggle.
Snap Button Ferrule
TLC Ferrule: Our TLC ferrule allows adjustable feathering from 30, 45, 60 RHC or LHC and clicks as it locks. Since the TLC is external, great for rough, open water conditions, it requires less maintenance and cleaning compared to standard ferrule systems. Even in the sandiest of conditions, the TLC ferrule will still feather.

I recently received my first Manta Ray Carbon in 250cm. I paddle a Diablo Adios kayak. This kayak has a high seating position and is also 36 inches wide. For this reason I needed a long paddle, but I also wanted it to be lightweight. I'm glad I made the choice that I did. This paddle is super lightweight and paddles very smooth. I had another brands paddle before this one that was much heavier and didn't paddle quite as smooth. I couldn't be happier with the Manta Ray Carbon, and I'm sure you will love it too.

I recently purchased the Manta Ray Carbon 250 CM Paddle with TLC Ferrule for use with a K-12 KC KAYAK. The k-12 is a 12' long and 34" wide fishing kayak that weighs less than 60 lbs. The new paddle has increased the performance of the Kayak 100%! Wow, what a difference the right paddle makes!

For several years I have been trying to find the perfect paddle for myself. I have tried many different ones, some were very nice and some were not so nice, but I couldn't find the right one for me.....
