Wading Staff

Hi Glenn,

I own a Folstaf brand, which I like.  I’ve posted the item number and the overall review ratings from LLBean.

It list for $125, but LLBean runs 20% off sales periodically.

I am also including a post from the Troutbitten Blog (which I love) that provides some thoughts on selecting a wading staff.  You may need to cut and paste it in your browser.

Lou,

I’m at that stage – get the best and you want have to buy again. I am a Folstaf guy.  More expensive than others – because it is the best.

In my humble opinion

I have a Simms that seems to work well.  Didn’t know about Folstaf brand but it appears it is high quality based on comments.

I have just began to use my Simms wading staff.  It is the Carbon Fiber model.  Nice n light and also unfolds and locks into place without a lot of trouble.

Have been using it as a support/balance staff so don’t put my full wt. on it.  The staff has a metal tip on it but I also have the rubber tip as well.  Don’t know if the metal tip makes enough noise to spook fish so have not tried the rubber tip yet.

My only issue with the Simms staff is that you had to purchase the retractor separately.
