FKJ,

My breakdown oar is a full size SSG oar. It fits perfectly under the seat with standard Magnum interchangeable blade on. I believe I picked mine up from Lavro in Monroe.

Although I prefer my Sawyer SquareTops over my Cataracts as primary oars, I use the breakdown Cat as my spare. It's really just a personal preference thing, the Cats are a fine oar and there is nothing wimpy or inferior about the breakdown either.

As far as quality oars go, I've never understood why so many "oarsmen" would spend so much money on rods and reels and then cheap out on their oars. I have to think it's because they've never tried something better and don't realize how much of a difference they make.
