I need a "real" spare paddle. I have been wanting one for some time now to be my primary paddle when I'm fishing (My carbon paddle is always wanting to blow away when I set it down..... >:( )

I am leaning toward a straight shaft (takes up less room :question) probably a bending branches of some sort. It will do double duty as filet board as well  :o. I wonder if Stu at BWJ uses his Expedition model as a filet board  ;D.
