Badger Badgertail
The blade of the Badgertail is very similar in overall volume to the popular Tripper model. But because the BadgerTail has its volume distributed lower in the blade, leverage is increased and so is power. Another benefit to having more volume in the lower section of the blade is that if you end up in shallow water you will be able to get more of the blade into the water to better propel the canoe.

- Badger Paddle Sock Included for storage & transport

Stocked Sizes:
