Hi All,

Took the new trident out for a fun 4 day fishing trip with Espiga off of Flager Point (Marrowstone Island near Port Townsend) and quickly realized that I had water inside each side of my Paddle.  It is a Bending Branches made by Infusion (or vice versa) and I paid around $120 for it.  It looks like each side has a "water proof" plug to prevent water from getting in....problem is that these plugs just seem to be holding the ounc or two of water in.  Any ideas other than returning this thing.

Thanks,

Fishdog

How much water are we talking about?  I wouldn't worry about an ounce or 2.

Thanks Allen,

It started as an ounce or so, but seemed to continue to build and never come out so I went ahead and returned it.

Great Salmon Shark adventure/read by the way....thanks for keeping us all posted.

fishdog,
Does the new paddle leak as the last one did?
