"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve used a lot of wading staffs, but none feel as solid or natural as this one. The bamboo is lightweight but super strong, and I love the dual grips—it gives me options whether I’m mid-stream or scrambling the bank.""When the river gets swift and the footing sketchy, we reach for the Fishpond Grass Sticks Wading Staff—a tool that feels as timeless as the waters we wade. Handcrafted in Steamboat Springs in collaboration with Grass Sticks, this staff uses sustainably harvested bamboo for its natural flex, strength, and durability. At just over 53 inches, the fixed-length shaft features both an upper handle and lower grip for adaptable hand placement depending on terrain. The bamboo construction is paired with a carbide tip for bite on loose riverbeds, and a removable rubber cap improves traction on slick rocks or paved approaches. The included webbing wrist strap integrates with Fishpond’s Confluence Net Release system, ensuring this beautiful tool stays close even when the current isn’t. Durable, simple, and Colorado-built—it’s the staff we trust to keep our feet wet and upright."
