Backwater Paddle Company is the designer and manufacturer of the patented Assault, Piranha and Predator Kayak Fishing Hand Paddles. These legendary paddles have been providing paddle sportsmen the opportunity to paddle their craft with stealth and mobility. Backwater Paddle Company's future paddle line includes the patented "hook and teeth" blade design. This highly functional blade design will be incorporated into the Raptor Kayak Paddle and Havoc Canoe Paddles. Kayak Angler, the #1 Kayak Fishing Magazine, selected our Predator Paddle as Best Paddle Design for their 2010 Kayak Fishing Gear Guide. Many more accolades are on the way with our patented future paddle designs. Paddle on my friends!!
