wadding staff

The Simms wadding stick uses a metal cord that will not
deteriorate. It is
easy to put together when you need it, and relatively easy to
take apart and
store. I've used one now for abut 3 years with no problems
except one; snip
I believe that the Simms is the best available, but it is not
cheap!

If you use an old cross country ski pole with the basket removed
you will have a great waing staff with very little expense.

My wife fishes with one of her old ski poles. The handles of ski poles ae
not what you expect on wading sticks so they may require some modification.
Attaching a strap can also be a challenge. My wife uses about 6' of black
cloth strap about 3/4" wide. she has it fixed so that she can put a large
loop over her neck and shoulder.
