The carbon fiber blade with a solid ash core is stiff, lightweight, and built for efficient power transfer. It keeps swing weight low while delivering a strong, consistent catch through every stroke.

Full Carbon Fiber Shaft

The SMOKER Bandit features a full carbon fiber shaft designed for maximum strength and minimal weight. This construction delivers a responsive, high-performance feel while reducing fatigue during long days on the oars.

SMOKER Bandit Blade Construction

The blade combines carbon fiber with a solid ash wood core for a stiff, lightweight design. This improves power transfer and keeps swing weight low, giving you a clean, efficient catch every stroke.

Dynel & Kevlar Pro-Tip Protection

The Pro-Tip adds Kevlar and Dynel protection at the edge or tip of the blade, where it takes the most abuse for unmatched abrasion and impact resistance. This tough reinforcement guards against rock hits and hard use while extending blade life and maintaining reliable performance over time.

Tite-Set Blade Lock System

The Tite-Set Blade Lock creates a secure, fail-safe connection between shaft and blade. It eliminates rattle, prevents loosening, and allows easy blade changes when needed.

Rope Wrap & Rubber Stop

A rope wrap with a rubber stop protects the shaft at the oarlock contact point while improving balance and control. The stop prevents the oar from slipping through the oarlock when released, keeping your oar secure and within reach. This setup reduces wear and maintains consistent performance over time.
