Terrific, innovative wading staff from Simms. Never get caught in the middle of a stream again. Terrific as a hiking or walking staff as well.

 Mixed Feelings About Simms Wading Staff April 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have mixed feelings about my Simms wading staff. The central cable keeps the staff well connected during use, but after about four seasons of use it came loose and the sections fell apart - first day of a three day fishing trip. Here in PA we have some rock bottom streams, so I found it necessary to modify the metal tip to allow me to install a rubber tip so that I'm not transmitting loud noises each time I plant the staff. I like the formed handle a lot, but the location of the nylon strap (on top of the handle) caused it to rub the back of my hand all day. To avoid this problem I had to use black electrical tape to lash the nylon strap down the back of the handle so it emerges below my palm. Works great that way. When I purchased my Simms staff they were using a 3oz. pull weight retriever which allowed the weight of the staff alone to pull the cable out and I had to bend over to get the handle each time I wanted to use the staff. After I complained Simms did send me an additional retriever which I black taped in tandem with the original. Bottom line is that I am about to order another and go through all the modifications over again. I'm anxious to see whether Simms will repair the one I will be sending back.

Another fine product by Simms. The wading staff is very easy to use. It has great quality and a well thought out design. You cannot go wrong with anything that Simms makes. I would definitely recommend this staff.
