Simms makes a nice one now, but deployment seems a tad less automatic

buying one today, I would do a serious A-B comparison before buying
either.

I really like my Simms wading staff. I think it has a more robust design
that the Folstaff.

BTW, this afternoon I tagged along on a training raft trip down the Salmon
River, which flows through Stanley. The water is super high --
higher than the guides have ever seen it. Two class IV rapids and three
class IIIs. It was a blast and for the fist time I didn't fall out.

I also have the Simms wading staff, rubber handle, easy to deploy and
retract, shock cord, compact, neoprene holster.
