Default Which wading staff?

I assume some of you have owned more than one wading staff, and at some

buy, and why?


I've only owned one, a Folstaff, and I've been unhesitatingly happy
with it. It folds up out of the way when I'm not using it & it's rock
solid when I am.

At the time I bought mine, there were two models and may still be. I
bought the larger diameter (3/4"). My buddy bought the 1/2" and was
sorry. He always felt it was too slender & he didn't trust it.

I've heard numerous negative testimonials here on ROFF about the
handles coming off, the elastic breaking, and the sections getting
stuck; but none of that has happened to mine.
