I bought the Polecat oar shaft pair for my whitewater trips. The fiberglass construction feels light and strong. The grip is comfortable and the rubber stop prevents slipping. I paired it with a DuraMax blade and it works well in rough water. Easy to handle and durable after several uses.

The shafts arrived quickly and are exactly as described. Lightweight and sturdy. The vinyl grip covers add a good amount of comfort. I’ve used them in both calm and fast water conditions. Slightly more expensive than basic options, but worth it for reliability.

Great value for the price. The composite shaft is much lighter than metal ones and doesn’t feel fragile. The rope wrap and rubber stop are well placed. I’ve used them in multiple river trips and they’ve held up well.
