I have a fourteen foot fish-rite and I want to buy a set of cataracts but would like to get some input on the different blade styles. I think that I want to lean towards the magnums because they look like they would push alot more water on every stroke . but they could be helpless when in low water. I Don't know , please help

Lightline-
Go with the magnums and the shafts with graphite woven in. A great combo they are stiffer and definatly bite more water, a winning combo.

I have the Magnum blades and like them, no problem in low water, and you don't need the tip protectors like they reccomend on the standard blades. The standard blades do tend to float higher in the water when you are just drifting and not using the sticks. You would probably be happy with either.
