Orvis Wading Staff

Deploying an Orvis Wading Staff when entering moving water, walking through stiff currents, or on slippery rocks offers clear-cut stability. After all, three points of contact are always better than two legs alone, and you certainly wouldn't want to use your rod butt (or tip!) as a fly fishing wading staff to break a stumble or fall. If you're substituting a trekking pole for a wading pole, that's a step in the right direction, but the Orvis carbon fiber wading staff beats it every day of the week.The Orvis Wading Staff is a highly efficient safety stick that is fully adjustable, with a height range of 115 cm to 135 cm, and features Powerlock 3.0 hardware that allows you to customize the height with a robust locking mechanism. The non-slip, omni-directional EVA foam on the top of the staff provides a secure grip, while the durable carbide flex tip with an optional silent approach rubber cap on the bottom lets you choose between digging in or keeping quiet. The staff comes with a wrist strap and retractor, ensuring it won't go floating away and can be folded up to an almost non-existent 41 cm and stored in an easy-access neoprene sheath that slides into your wading belt. The staff is incredibly lightweight, weighing only 9.4 oz. The Orvis Wading Staff allows for safer wading to your casting position, and its single-hand withdrawal and self-assembling action lets you keep your rod in hand if you need to follow a fish on the run.
