Grass Sticks Wading Staff

The Fishpond Grass Sticks Wading Staff is what you reach for when the river is pushy, the rocks are slick, and you’d rather stay upright. Handcrafted in Steamboat Springs, Colorado from sustainably harvested bamboo, it has the kind of strength-to-weight ratio that feels solid in heavy current without being a chore to carry. 

At just over 53 inches, the fixed-length design gives you reliable reach and balance, with both a contoured top handle and a lower shaft grip so you can change hand positions on steep banks or deep crossings. A carbide tip bites into gravel and rock, while the removable rubber tip adds quiet traction on slick boulders, pavement, or boat ramps.

Fishpond’s webbing wrist strap keeps the staff connected to you and plays nicely with the Fishpond Confluence Net Release if you want to integrate it into your existing system. Durable and slightly flexible to resist kinking or permanent bends, the Grass Sticks Wading Staff is a simple, elegant solution for anglers who want extra stability without giving up classic style.
