Carlisle Magic Plus Paddle

Rugged Dependability, Proven Performance

Designed to provide recreational paddlers a performance paddle at a great value, the Carlisle Magic Plus paddle is a versatile performer. The balanced asymmetrical blades reduce torque and minimize wrist fatigue. Slight spooning in the blades grab more water, providing the power needed when paddling a typical 10-to 12-foot recreational kayak. The wound fiberglass shaft provides a sweet compromise between the stiffness needed for a strong paddle stroke and the flex needed to reduce stress on your joints.

Built to Keep Going

The first Carlisle paddles were created more than 30 years ago with local guide and livery companies in mind. Our paddles were built to deliver the core strength and durability that expert guides need. Today, Carlisle offers outstanding recreational kayak paddles and oars in a variety of materials and designs-each suiting the needs and conditions individual paddlers face.

  • Durable, fiberglass reinforced polypropylene blades
  • Slightly spooned, asymmetrical blades for powerful strokes
  • Lightweight, fiberglass shaft has ovalized hand grip area
  • Efficient design produces consistent, steady stroke
  • Two-piece construction allows inline or offset blades
  • Available in 220-, 230-, and 240-centimeter lengths

Sturdy Construction

The Magic Plus paddle is built to last, with a wound fiberglass shaft and durable fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene blades. Balanced, efficient, and versatile this paddle performs well in both open waters and near rocky shorelines.

Long-Distance Efficiency

The well-balanced asymmetrical blade design on the Magic Plus reduces torque and flutter so you'll feel less wrist fatigue and can stay on the water longer. The slightly spooned shape moves more water to efficiently  propel your kayak through the water.

Compared to aluminum, the fiberglass shaft has a warm touch in cool weather and is cool when it's hot.

Accessorize Your Craft

When you're done for the day, the Magic Plus breaks down into two pieces for easy transport and storage. You can also use the pushbutton takedown to feather the blades at 60 degrees for right- or left-handed control.

A Length for Every Style

The Magic Plus comes in three lengths - 220, 230, and 240 centimeters. Find the perfect match based on your torso length and the width of your boat.

So, this paddle is cheap, sturdy, and has great performance! I am a recreational/fishing kayaker and can tell you that this paddle propels me through the water without any great effort. Its relatively light and has a very comfortable feel to it. The only thing that I may complain about is that the gripping on the paddle is lacking but nothing that sports tape can't fix. All in all I highly recommend this paddle!

These are great fiberglass paddles. They are light weight and sturdy. I would recommend them to anyone. We have used them on a class 2 river and they worked great and still look like new. We bought aluminum paddles for about the same price from a big chain sporting goods store that were not as good as these.

I just got back into kayaking after several years of being out of the loop. I bought all new gear and a new kayak. I was trying out some paddles at a store, but decided to save some $$$ and go the Amazon route instead. I ended up getting the Carlisle Magic Plus because it is a trusted name and has good reviews. It arrived quickly and in excellent condition.

It's not the lightest fiberglass paddle out there, and I found the grip to be a bit wide. So it's probably not the last paddle I'll ever use. However, the paddle is of excellent quality for the price I paid. I haven't had any problem with flutter (although I'm not a power paddler) and the drip rings work fine for me.

One safety tip I got from an instructor is to buy a cheaper paddle when starting out, but then keep it attached to the boat as a backup when I upgrade to something nicer. I think this fits the bill perfectly. For now, this will be my primary paddle. Eventually I'll get something nicer, but I'll definitely still keep this one around.

I ordered the product for my husband, we are both kayakers, he broke his blade, thought this item would be comperable to his other paddle, however, when I ordered it, a pretty long box came, upon opening, I pulled out ONE SHAFT/ONE BLADE, meaning half of the paddle arrived, I asssumed the other half was shipped seprately, check the order status listed as complete order. I chatted with Amazon, told the assitance personel, I only needed the other half the paddle, he resubmitted the entire order, the 2nd day, I got the box, laughing to myself I thought "wouldnt it be funny if I got half again" well guess what, 1/2 a paddle again, I called, returned and had to drive 2 hours to get the entire 230CM paddle from a kayak store instead of 115CM paddle from Amazon, I understand it is likely a slotting/stocking issue, and the associates on both returns were very professional, the return was easy, I really just would have liked to have gotten the left and right half of an entire 230cm kayak paddle!

I purchased this thinking I was buying a product well made and trusted by kayakers everywhere.
I finally got this paddle 3 weeks after ordering (original delivery date not met and no one notified me of the delay, I just sorta stumbled over the updated date).

As soon as I opened the box, I was shocked at the lack of protective packing in the box. There was NONE!
I inspected the product and found rough edges on the blades. Hopefully that won't impact the actual functionality or prove to be some sort of manufactured defect.
The drip rings were all warped and kinda doesn't keep all the drips from coming into the boat. (No drip rings are 100%, but should be a bit drier than these warped rings)

The actual usage of the paddle is fine. I like the wrapped shaft, although I use gloves, and since I prefer the feathered angle of the blades, this works ok.

It is VERY difficult to take the 2 pieces apart, the button is ridiculously stiff and doesn't easily push down all the way. Will try some vaseline or coconut oil to loosen it up.

I'd go with a different brand in the future for the same price or even a tad more.
