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.


Ditto. You have to learn the trick about rolling the joint (so to
speak) against your knee should it lock, but overall a great
product that requires
no thought or effort to deploy, which is the most important part.

Same here. Thanks for the "rolling the joint" trick to get the thing
apart. That is the only negative I have. The staff is at least 20
years old and I don't know how long the stretch chord inside will
last before it deteriorates. So far, so good.

I'm pretty sure the company replaces the cord for free if you send it
in.

Scott, have you ever fished Marshall Creek, out by Oak Orchard?




No. I tend not to get out as far west as the Oak, actually.

I went for the first time last week. Didn't fish the big river. We sort of
accidentally ended up at Marshall, via a wrong turn. That creek is GORGEOUS,
and easy to wade. Mostly smooth rock and not at all slippery for some
reason. Browns & steelhead haven't come in yet, for reasons nobody could
explain. My partner alarmed a huge salmon, which scrambled about 100 feet in
2 seconds, across a shallow rock flat that was only half the depth of the
fish's body. Made a wake like a jet ski. Amazing.
