It’s many times better than my Simms.Another testimonial: this may be the finest product of its kind available anywhere.
I equivocate because I’ll never test another product.

I also go through a few tips per year, but much prefer the quiet vs a steel tip, which are quite noisy. A pkg of four 3/4" rubber chair leg tips are about $4 at Home Depot. I consider them a necessary wear item, and always carry a spare with washer.I like mine a lot. Did wear thru the first rubber tip after 8 days of heavy use. Put on the spare. After I got home bought more rubber tips and washers to go inside as a buffer (as recommended). Don’t take this as a complaint, just as a be prepared and have back up tips. I really really like the sturdiness of this staff.
Definitely worth it! I have two and bought one for my son. Used the one with the rubbery tip on the Deschutes last week. Opening day for steelhead was Monday and the wading staff with felt boots kept me wading confidently. I turned 65 in early August and have finally committed to using the wading staff. Makes a big difference.I may have to check this staff out one day
You won’t regret it, these are great quality..I may have to check this staff out one day
i usually recommend it be to ctr of chest, to give you some reach w/o being overlong. If the staff is too long, you'll find you need to constantly keep your elbow raised, which can cause shoulder fatigue. If you'd like to try a few inches longer, I can build it with the extra length in the lower section, so you can just trim it, if you decide later, w/o having to disassemble the staff.If you go max length and find it too long after use... pretty easy to trim using basic tools or does that upset inserts?
Thx.
It comes with a hammer loop holster, which keeps it contained, yet allows the staff to be easily deployed/re-holstered with one hand.How are they held together when walking (folded up of course) ? My concern is that it seems like I’m always trying to get through brush & trees on a trail to and from the water. thanks.
