NRS Solid Gate Paddle Biner

Comments about NRS Solid Gate Paddle Biner:

I keep this 'biner attached to a short rescue line on my kayak. I use it to retrieve friends paddles when they lose them in a flip or spill in the rapids. I have lots of carabiners, but this is the only one that will fit a paddle shaft. Some of the other boaters in my crew have them too - it works great!

Service and delivery comments:

Delivery was prompt and in excellent condition. Customer service was very helpful.

Bought to attach to the end of a tow tether to collect loose boats and to hold an occasional paddle. I have an AT bentshaft ww blade and it does fit over the shaft, but there is no room to spare. Should be easy to clip to a boat though.

Would work well for more traditional paddling applications.

Own three of the previous Paddle Biners with the wire gate and was prepared to buy another for quick attachments to cat frame. Really like the solid gate on the new biner. There is no deflection/twisting of the wire and no sticking of the gate. Also, there is no "hook" for the wire at the gate closure point. I found these "hooks" used to get tangled in poly rope or on the wire components of surplus ammo cans. An improved product for sure.

Comments about NRS Solid Gate Paddle Biner:

I sometimes use a paddle leash on rivers to ensure it doesn't get dropped into the water while resting, but prefer not to, and always on open water.
This unit works great as a paddle park when stopping for a break on the rivers. No more wedging a paddle blade under the bungies. The paddle shaft slips in and out easily.
Neatest item I've found in over 16 years of kayaking. Simple idea, but very,very handy and easy to use.
Thanks NRS.
