3M Vehicle Wrap Vinyl (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CDkQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.topvinylfilms.com%2F3m-wrap-vinyl%2F&ei=Bk7pVKySMs7coATgw4HwDg&usg=AFQjCNFHMCyf612Gw81iFrhtzce7zLo3MA&bvm=bv.86475890,d.cGU)

[tamddo714]

very cool thanks for sharing

[fishing md]

Do you do the printing or do you take it somewhere?

I have a sign shop @ home we print and cut vinyl ...this are my first one's.. working wt my vinyl suppliers to get a vinyl for salt water i want them to last!!

[roby]

Can you make one that says, "Over here George!" on one paddle blade and on the other paddle blade, have it say, "Over here Tony!"?

I can then wave my paddle up in the air when we're all looking for each other OTW...

Cool stuff like usual....

[Amish Ed]

Super sick!

[Rambo]

Pretty radical idea, i like how it turned out.

[monstahfish]

Really cool. I love the brown trout the most. Way to think outside the box.

[StinkyMatt]

Wow!

The colors are super rich.


I need a trout one like that.

We will be talking soon.:D

[C.W.C.]

:you_rock: Nice works you beat me to it! I will be sending you an order for something a little different asap..:cheers1:


On a side note, Bending Branches Pro-Staffers were sent an email in September 2014 asking them this:

To Bending Branches Pro-Staff:
Please take some time this week to think about the following question. When you have your answer, please follow-up with me. What kayak fishing related paddle do you want/need right now, that’s not already being offered to you?

I had responded this / Sent 09–28-2014:
In the marketplace currently, I would say technically speaking, the Angler Pro fits all of my paddle needs. As super light as it already is, maybe BB could shave off another 1-2 ounces?
(The Angler Pro paddle weight is designed around several factors, and the quality lasts because of it. Hence the reason it's not a couple ounces lighter)

Cosmetically speaking, as previously mentioned and submitted to R&D a year prior in 2013; For the really BIG trophy fish an extended tape measure on the shaft would be a welcomed addition. While I'm throwing random ideas out there, I don’t know if it would even be feasible, but your tape measure system printed on the shaft is very nice, but how about a fish scale pattern around the shaft handle, like your holding a fish? Either a top laminate, or an offshoot of the basket weave carbon pattern? Maybe impossible..
The laminate blades are certainly a hot commodity around kayakers.
The Redfish Paddle from Lightning that “adopted” your hook retrieval system, has a over exaggerated Redfish tail image sublimated somehow, but the colors are off. Having a quality BB/AB paddle with choice of a few beautifully marked target species Or possibly (four) one on each blade side?
I.E.: Fresh: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Muskie, Pike, Trout, Salmon, Etc..
Salt: Snook, Sea Trout, Redfish, Tarpon, Calico Bass, Halibut, Etc..
*OR some vibrant Dorado & Yellowtail, natural patterns & also doubles as a higher visibility application..

Cool.... im ready to do more cool stuff ...made one 3 years ago but the wrap materia was junk ... now they have some bad ass wrap materia, still lots of work doing one but if you guys like them i will put in the work.:reeling::reeling:

[kayakfisherman]

Joe,

It's wild. You must be full of imagination.
Your new wrap material doesn't look like
wrap at all. My mind is going around and
around with the designs I want.

[yak-fishing-socal]

I'll take a Dorado design
👍👍

[StinkyMatt]

I'm imagining a profile shot of a Pike mouth...

Maybe the gill area of a cutthroat.....





The detail of the eyeball is just sick....






Joe, would I be sending you a high def image......?

Pm me the cost details.....

If your work comes out this great ....I can probably arrange for you to sleep with Roby at the next camp out.:eek:

[Cbad Mike]

Very cool!
:notworthy:

[Dannowar]
