The asymmetrical shape is especially popular with fishermen maneuvering in late-season streams, when water is low but the fish still bite.

You don't have to know rocket science to row a boat, but it helps to have gear made by a company who does. Cataract shafts are made with the same filament wound glass/carbon/epoxy composite technology used by the aerospace industry.

The redesigned Douglas Fir wood core has a thicker taper from the shoulder of the blade to the tip of the blade for outstanding strength while keeping weight down.

This blade features a tear drop shape and allows you to dip less blade into the water and achieve the same affect as a whitewater blade.
