Wading staffs are used to help anglers negotiate deep and/or fast flowing water. The staff has a rubber ferrule which is less likely to scare fish than a metal one - the loud tapping noise from a metal ferrule can travel quite a distance in water. A detachable cord clips on to the stick when you are in the water and passes round your shoulders so the staff is always with you and doesn't float away if you let go of it in midstream! The length of a Wading Staff is longer than for a normal walking/hiking stick as it is more useful for probing deep water and for climbing and descending steep banks. You should choose a length which is approximately shoulder height. As these are normally made to order there is a waiting time of around 4 to 8 weeks at present. Two popular handle shapes are available as standard but you could choose any shape if you wished to - see below for details. If you prefer to buy Gift Vouchers for a friend to spend for themselves then click the link. Sorry - no wading staffs in stock - made to order only. Waiting time around two months at present. |

The bottom end is weighted with lead to help it sink and to make it hang low in the water so that the fishing line is less likely to tangle round it when using a fly line. A rubber ferrule is fitted. |
