Since we are goof to fish with Jim Sammons in June, the old lady said I could get a new toy. What should I get, a Werner Kalliste bent shaft paddle or a new Curado 300e to toss at roosterfish off the beach? Both seem like good choices to me, but I just can't choose. Figured my TKF brethren could help point me in the right direction....

Re: Werner Kalliste bent shaft or curado 300e?
Werner Kalliste Bent Shaft..bent shaft puts less stress on your wrist..and forearms/shoulders and it only weighs 25oz's..I have arthitis in my right wrist and can paddle for a full day with the bent shaft versus a straight shaft. It is a very sturdy paddle and very efficient in the water for an experienced paddler.and very forgiving for an inexperience paddler....thats where a paddling lessons goes a long way in not hurting yourself .On that note if you havent taken a paddling lesson...it doesnt matter how good or bad your paddle is...you wont get the full benefit out of it..I had a Carisle Daytripper as my entry level paddle many years ago and it performed very well for a cheap paddle but WERNER is a seriously great paddle to own...as an instructor I have used quite a few of them and they are awesome paddles...
Good Luck

I have not had any problems with my Kalliste bent shaft for the year and a half I've had it.
Re: Werner Kalliste bent shaft or curado 300e?
I'm certainly no expert, but I've been actively paddling and instructing paddling for over fifty years. I'm on my sixth or seventh year with my Werner K and have yet to experience any problems with it. The paddle, besides being the best paddling paddle I've ever used, is bullet proof when it comes to the very rough service I've put it through.
