Whatever you do don't let the price determine what oars you buy. Good oars are very important. I cheaped out and bought the sawyer black and white fiberglass oars for 150.00 a piece. They wear me out on a long plug pullin float. A buddy has cataract oars with dynalite paddles they work pretty good. I know someone else who has the mxsg oars and he loves em. Good stuff isnt cheap, cheap stuff isn't good.
