Choose Our Manta Ray Paddle for Some Serious Kayak Fishing
3-minute read
Get outfitted for some serious kayak fishing with one of the paddles from our Manta Ray family. There’s one for every budget!
Our Manta Ray family of kayak paddles is our best-selling line for high-angle paddlers, including kayak anglers:
- The wide, beefy blades (102.5 square inches) are designed to haul plenty of water, even with a fully-loaded boat.
- The Manta Ray comes in several different models from fiberglass to full carbon.
- Manta Ray models come with three different ferrule options: a tight-fitting snap-button ferrule, our all-carbon Posi-Lok™ ferrule with unlimited feathering angles, and our adjustable-length Versa-Lok™ ferrule.
- They’re available as a standard 2-piece paddle, or an ultra-packable 4-piece.
- They’re each available in several different lengths. The Posi-Lok™ models are up to 260 cm long, and the Versa-Lok™ models up to 240-255 cm of adjustable length. Most sit-on-top fishing kayaks require a longer paddle than touring kayaks.
