Cool that for this walkthrough! How does the plastic clasp hold up? I have a Select two piece paddle and the attachment piece is plastic, it has broken repeatedly. Having the ability to take it apart and adjust the length, is so helpful. Unfortunately I found the Select paddle to be heavy and unreliable, and moved on to a Werner Shogun. The Shogun is bomber and quite lite, and can be used for downriver or playboating.

I have not used the 2-piece yet but wade has pretty extensively and no issues with the clasp that I know of. I am not a fan of select paddles the indexing is wierd and they are super heavy.

Been using a Werner powerhouse for a while now. Still trying to decide between the arca works and the aquabound. Aquabound price is insane but I hear it’s very durable and I hear great things about the Vulcan too so I’m not sure which one to get. Right now I’m doing a lot of play boating not so much river running

[@DownstreamV]

If you are playboating I would say go for aquabound. The forward blade design is really meant for river running and creeking and will take a toll on the blade and your wrists. If you’re going aquaboud spend the extra for the carbon it’s worth it. Hit up wren at NOC for a Matt wallin discount. River running I would absolutely say the arca works.

@@DownstreamV i was actually thinking the same logic but you just confirmed it. I appreciate the advice, thanks.

How does it hold up? The curve at the base of the blade was often a weak point on the Odachi, for instance, and this looks even more pronounced/sharp. Be interested to see how it holds after some regular use.

I’ve used the one piece for over a year and zero issues

@@DownstreamV alright, nice. That's good to hear. They certainly look lovely!
