Cataract Floater Oar Blade - Black | The Original Buoyant Whitewater Blade

The Cataract Floater Oar Blade is the industry-standard "floater" blade, renowned for its incredible buoyancy and legendary durability. If you drop an oar mid-river, this blade is designed to bob immediately to the surface, making it easier to recover and keep your rowing setup intact.

Engineered for all-season use, the Floater is built with a rugged, high-density structural urethane exterior surrounding a rigid composite core. Whether you are navigating early-season high water or scraping through late-season low-water rock gardens, this blade provides the strength and responsiveness required for serious whitewater and technical fishing.

Key Features:

• Maximum Buoyancy: The most buoyant blade in the Cataract lineup—engineered to stay on the surface for quick retrieval.
• Legendary Durability: Rugged structural urethane construction handles rocks, debris, and abrasive river conditions with ease.
• Versatile Performance: Reliable in all conditions, from heavy whitewater to technical fishing in shallow streams.
• Silt-Resistant System: Grooved blade insert keeps your connections clean and enables rapid, tool-free blade swaps on the water.
• Broad Compatibility: Fits Cataract SGG™, SGX™, and X Wound™ oar shafts, as well as most standard 1-7/8" OD shafts.
• Made in the USA: Designed and manufactured for high-performance rafting and drift boat applications.
