Magic Angler 260 cm

The Carlisle Magic Angler 260 cm is a lightweight two-piece kayak paddle designed for kayak anglers who need a longer paddle for wider fishing kayaks, taller paddlers, or canoe-style craft paddled like kayaks. The wrapped fiberglass shaft and fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene blades provide a good balance of low weight, strength, and everyday durability.

The asymmetrical, slightly curved blades help create smooth and efficient strokes, while the ovalised shaft makes it easier to feel the correct grip position. A J-notch cutout in the blade can help free snagged lines or hooks, and the measuring rule printed on the shaft lets you measure fish directly from the paddle.

The push-button ferrule allows the blades to be set straight or feathered at 60 degrees for right- or left-hand control. The paddle separates into two pieces for easier transport and storage, while rubber drip rings help reduce water running down the shaft while paddling. At 260 cm and 1.3 kg, it is a practical option when a standard-length kayak paddle feels too short for the boat or paddler.
