FS Riverstick Custom-machined Wading Staffs

[tiptop]

David Spey'd - I tried using a staff retractor with this staff and found that the staff was too heavy for the retractor to work. I think my retractor was made by Orvis - maybe yours will be powerful enough. Let me know if it works for you.

I'll give it a try. It would be nice to have one that works with this stalff.

Look for a heavy-duty one, with a locking button so you can keep it at your hip when deployed.
Snowbee, William Joseph, T-Reign, Gear Keeper and Cabelas have good ones. Here's the Cabelas one:

Received the staff I ordered to give my dad for Father’s Day. This thing is a tank and I believe it will outlast most of my other gear. Thanks a lot and I’m sure my dad will love this thing.

 

[Dblhaul]

Received my staff in great time. This thing is stout, thoughtfully designed and well worth the price.
I look forward to using it very soon.

Thank you Rick!

I have more staffs available, and can make to preferred lengths.

Rule of thumb for length: 5’5” - 5’7” = 51”, 5'8" - 5'10" = 52", 5'11" - 6' 2" = 53", 6'3" - 6'5"= 54-56". A good measure is to top of waders with boots on.

Price is $95 + $20 shipping = $115 usd.

Please pm for details.

Well, as i sit here finishing up a very nice size bowl of watermelon and Bengayin my poor aching legs, i can`t think or remember a day when i was more content and could not be happier...All thanks to my new wading stick i got from Herkileez!!!!! Since i had hip replacement 3 years ago, i have been very reluctant to get in my nearest river, the good old James here in Virginia, so i could pester some Smallies. HAHAHA, they were disappointed today to find me BACK. There were several times i threw caution to the wind and nearly waded neck deep. Not one time did i feel i had made a mistake, the staff held me up and one time over a huge boulder that i would NEVER had attempted before.
Rick, thank you for producing such a superior product. I will be telling everyone how good these staffs are. Thank you again and Thank you for putting me back in the water again. God Bless and Be safe.

Herklieez, it is possible to shorten up the web hand loop a bit? Do I just slide the hand grip off to do that?

No problem. Just work the grip off withwarm, soapy water. It's ON there, so hook it over a 2x4 railing (etc) and gradually work it off. Unwrap the strap, adjust to length and rewrap.
