... Bunch of good advice snipped I've started using a wading staff in tough currents and it's working well, albeit a PITA when I'm fishing and not wading. Good luck with the knee, JR. I second the wading staff! I have found myself wading a lot more confidently, and safely, since I began using one regularly. The other thing I have discovered is that they can be a big help when rock hopping too. Using it to triangulate support as I hop from one dry rock to another midstream or on the shore really cuts down on missteps due to wobbly rocks (or legs). Funny thing though, the 3/4" dia Folstaf I have is nearly impossible to take apart, but the cheap Chinese knockoff (Outback) I bought my wife works perfectly. (And no, I didn't get her the cheapie cause I'm a skinflint, I got her the Folstaf, but she couldn't get it apart. We later bumped into a fellow selling the Chinese knockoff at a flyfishing show, and he persuaded us to buy based on the fact that it was easy to breakdown.) The major difference between the two is that the Folstaf has a better quality shock-cord, and the Outback's female sockets are slightly flared at the top, which seems to prevent the relatively sharp corner of the aluminum tube from biting into the male tube. And hope that knee is back in working order soon. Jim Ray |
