I have that Spirit 2 in kevlar. Love that boat. Also have a Wenonah Rogue in royalex. We probably have 1,000 river miles on it. Great all around boat.I have a Northstar/Bell kevlar 12’ ADK solo that I use for pond hopping brook trout with a zre carbon paddle, 17’ kevlar Wenonah solo encounter, 17’ wenonah spirit 2 that is royalex, 14’ radisson, 14’ old town guide canoe, and some other aluminum canoes that I got for free, I shop craigslist and score some deals, I am a tree man and have a lot of customers and there always trading me canoes or giving me old ones laying out back in there yard and stuff, if you shop around you can find some crazy deals on canoes.
Talk to me about that paddle.View attachment 42766 I wish I was fishing right now instead of staring at snow banks, my ADK solo, Northstar, I love that thing
It’s crazy light, you probably know more about paddles than me it sounds like I am a novice, I just wanted the lightest paddle I could find for my brook trout pond hopping rig that I carry in places on my shoulder, the ZRE was it from my research, I didn’t want to pony up that kind of money so I waited and practically stole this one off ebay, I love it, I only paddle flat water, small ponds and lakes, it’s a Power Surge medium, I got lucky it was the right length, I can’t remember the measurements but it fits perfect, I can’t speak to whether it’s rugged or not I handle it like a baby, I won’t let anybody else touch it LOL, my other paddles are bending branches stuff, this zre is like paddling with a majic wand, I love it, I wouldn’t be afraid to pay retail after using it, watch Mountain Man Sports online they have deals every spring I live near there, sign up for there mailing list and when they have there demo days this spring gear prices will get slashed, if you need an excuse to go on a trip north it’s quite the event if your into canoes.Talk to me about that paddle.
I've been thinking about going carbon. I need it for all purpose. Flatwater and class 3.
Idk. That's a pretty nice looking deer and I do have 4 brothersView attachment 42850
Not this one! I was close to having to make the decision of whether to save the deer or save my brother.
so funny to me that people avoid things like this on purpose. Half the fun in these hunts is the process. Type 2!

Old Town Pack canoe. 12 feet long, 33 lbs. Royalex. Definitely on the smaller side but has worked awesome. Still haven't hauled a deer in it. Might be sinking like the guy in the above picture.
Nice! Is that a Pack too?I assure you it will be fine! See my earlier post. The canoe is rated to 600 lbs. If you are concerned about it, I’ll buy your canoe from you!
Nice! Is that a Pack too?
Is that a northfork or a southfork?View attachment 42767 Wenonah solo encounter, this canoe is a bit much for a solo but it’s crazy fast and will handle waves like no other.
Awesome. Yeah I had never heard of one before I found it in Craigslist a couple years ago. Read up on it and it seemed like exactly what I wanted. I think I did pretty good on price. I just need to use it more.Yes, it is the exact same model. Royalex Pack. 33lb, 12' long. Got mine on ebay years ago. Cost a bit more than I would have preferred, but it is definitely worth it. I went higher on the cost than I would have liked because they are not available anymore and somewhat hard to find. Have tried a kayak and larger canoe, this one is by far better for my use/needs.
Neither, it’s called the Encounter, it’s a 17’ solo canoe, they still make it, mine is an older model however, I’m going to probably sell it this spring, it’s a bit much for how I operate.Is that a northfork or a southfork?
I’m thinking about a kayak paddle for the canoe. Any thoughts, suggestions, tips on picking the right length paddle? What type?
