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

owned before". If you wanted to skip all the crap, which one(s) would you
buy, and why?

Put me down as being in love with my Leki walking stick. It saved
me from possible serious trouble in Nawth Cackalacky last year, and I
haven't gone out without it since. It telescopes down to less than 3',
has a camera mount, confortable grip, and "shock absorber" feel to it.

I attach it to my vest with one of those magnetic net releases, and
when I'm wading and fishing I just let it dangle in the water behind me
where it's ready when I need it.

As Richard noted, you could just use a ski pole, but I really like
the added advantage of the camera mount, and the fact that it telescopes.
