Wading Staff recomendations - 12/14/15 08:51 PM
Hi,
I have decided I want a wading staff. I have used just a big stick I found, but I don't like that how buoyant it is. Is there anything in between DIY and the $100 to $150 SIMMS ?
The Simms Wading Staff, says it will lock itself open, so if the tip gets stuck the sections won't seporate. On paper that sounds very useful and a possible way for me to rationalize paying $100 for a "stick" .. DOES ANYONE have an opinion on if this is just a marketing feature or a real advantage ?
Also, is the $150 Carbon SIMS Staff that much better than the $100 Aluminium one ?
-thanks
