Quick Summary
The Simms Wading Staff Black is a wading staff for use in the water, with a black finish and a spring-loaded design for deployment and collapse. It is made from 7075 aluminium tubing with a coated stainless steel cable, and it also includes a built-in wrist strap, retractor, compression-moulded sheath and replaceable aluminium tip.
Printed inch markings on the shaft provide a depth reference, while the foam handle is ribbed and extends for multiple grab heights. Those details matter if you want a staff that is easy to carry, easy to stow and set up with a choice of hand positions.
