Outcast Offers New BladeRite Oar Device, Other Add-Ons

October 16, 2008 By: Marshall Cutchin

Outcast Sporting Gear, a maker of pontoon boats, float tubes and rafts for anglers, recently announced five new “add-ons” to make life better for fly fishers: an affordable new inflator (under $100), a 36 Quart Cooler with a removable inner liner and integrated attachment points, a new 24-inch “landing pad,” a redesigned float tube bag, and a new device to keep oar blades in the proper position while rowing. We looked closely at the BladeRite at the FFR show in Denver and they do indeed look like a clever idea. “The BladeRite is uniquely designed to increase the range of motion by 12 degrees or 30 percent. Available in two sizes, the Small will fit 1 3/8″ diameter oar shafts while the Large fits 1 7/8″ diameter oars.”

Keep your blades in the right position with the BladeRite.
Meridian, ID – July 2008
AIRE is excited to announce the release of the BladeRite. The BladeRites work in concert with oar sleeves (or rope wrapped oars) and open oar locks to keep the oar’s blade at the correct angle, which is critical in whitewater rapids.
