There are too many replies to read them all. I have two strong beliefs
regarding wading sticks
1) the Simms is the best available. Second best is a ski pole.
2) any wading stick with an elastic cord isn't worth shi... I was standing
in the middle of the Hood river when my wading stick became as limp as
Wayne's d.... The cord had stretched and wouldn't hold it together. When
I complained to the manufacturer, they offered to replace the cord for a
fee..more than half the cost of the stick. It didn't bother them that I had
been stranded in the middle of a river with their poorly designed stick. Go
with the Simms which has a metal cord and won't let you down.

Late September I found myself in a predicament standing in the N.F. of the
Clearwater, with that uneasy feeling of a Full Reid if I took a step in
any
direction. I made it out without a dunking, however told myself it was
time
to look for a wading staff.

I looked through the archives, although the information is a bit dated.
Are
there any on the market that you would suggest and or stay away from?

I took a look out on e-bay and found the following:

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions appreciated...
