Raft guides? Can they afford the internet to even get on a forum? :laughing:

 

They are awesome paddles while they last. They do break, we've broken 3 over the years. Cataract was no help as they said they didn't make them anymore. I'm not saying anything bad about Cataract as I've had great customer service regarding their oars.

Werners are great for all water levels, though their blades are a tad smaller. Sawyer's are even better for high water but too much at low flows.

 

I have used the Werner Guide stick for going on 10 years now. The blade has ample surface area to move a 16ft boat with 8-9 fatties just fine.

If you want a big blade just buy a Norse...
