Wading staff... re-visit

I'll give you one (no charge). I made it from an old ski pole. It's
quite
good. I used it a lot. You can use it until you find something
better.
I now use a Falstaff, a gift from a friend. Send me your addy and
I'll get it
to you.

Joel,

That is a very nice offer, thank you! Unfortuntaley I am using Google
to read news, my ISP's NNTP server is f'ed up and I can't read news
with my news reader. Given that, I'm unable to see what your e-mail
address, to forward my addy. If you could e-mail me, I will send
whatever you need as well as postage costs, etc...

I'm thinking about the cheap-o staff on e-bay, however as R Dean said,
it could be a waist of money. After searching the net, looking through
my catolog's, etc... last night, it appears there are only a handful of
differnet staffs on the market and most are like the cheap-o on e-bay
with differnet handle configurations, (i.e. foam, cork, etc... handles)
they are just branded with Orvis or some other name. The Falstaff (sp?)
and Simms do look superior, just not sure I want to put out 100 bucks
for something I might use a couple times a year, then again I might
find it very handy and use it often?
Thank you,
JT
