So I have a Kayak Paddle and plan on using it on my trip next week. I'm comfortable with either... I'm wondering if I still need to take an additional spare canoe paddle. In my paddling out on our lake I find the Kayak paddle a good thing, but would hate to be left with just it if my canoe paddle broke. I see they have handles that can convert the kayak paddle into a canoe type paddle. I know what Marlin says about the drip... but for some reason this paddle doesn't drip like others I've tried.

You can buy T-handle adapters for double paddles, but I think you'd be better off with a dedicated canoe paddle as a spare/backup.  

When I'm traveling, I use the double almost exclusively. I usually have a line in the water if conditions permit, but I'm sure using the double, I'm going faster than optimum trolling speed?

When I want to fish seriously, I use the single. Sometimes I'll switch too single, say an hour or so from where I plan on camping for the night.
It's nice to have supper on the line before you hit your personal; 5 star site.
