The Modified Ottertail is a variant of an Ottertail with its broader shoulders at the top of the blade. This puts the widest part of the blade near the paddler’s lowest hand and offers better control and greater power. The Modified Ottertail is Ideal for those paddlers who like a shorter blade but are looking for a little more surface area than the traditional Ottertail. The Modified Ottertail is well suited for tandem and makes a great tripping paddle for all day paddling.
All paddles take up to 3 weeks to craft and 4-6 days in shipping.
I now own two Fishell paddles. They are beautiful and hang in my living room when not in use. I much prefer the shapes based off of ottertails than the wide beaver tail for their ease of slicing thru the water and especially if returning the blade in the water like with the Canadian stroke. I chose oil finish this time and love how it feels in the hands. Also Greg's grip is nicer than anything else I've ever paddled.

Gorgeous and functional paddle
I absolutely love my new Modified Ottertail. Not only is it beautiful, but after just a few paddle strokes, I felt at one with this paddle. I'm not much of a technical expert when it comes to paddles, but my shoulder definitely felt less stressed on each paddled stroke compared to when using my shorter, wider blade paddle. I felt like I was cruising much more effortlessly across the water. Thanks again, Greg. Can't wait to put it to the test on some longer trips this summer.
