Simms Pro Wading Staff
The Simms Pro Wading Staff is a rock-solid bit of insurance when the river gets pushy. Built from a hybrid of carbon fibre and aluminium, it’s ultra-light in the hand yet tough enough for serious use. The clever one-handed deployment means it snaps to full length in seconds — no mucking around mid-stream.
With an adjustable 120–140cm range and a comfy cork-foam handle, it’s designed for long days on the water. The carbide tip bites into slick riverbed, while the removable rubber cap keeps things quiet when you need it. Finished with a wrist strap, leash, and neoprene sheath, it’s everything you want in a wading staff: stable, dependable, and ready the moment you need it.

Used this staff on a long river trip and it held up well under wet and windy conditions. The one-handed deployment saved me time during a sudden current change. Comfortable grip and the carbide tip works well on slippery riverbeds.

Great for wading in fast-moving rivers. Lightweight but sturdy. The rubber cap helps avoid disturbing fish when I need quiet wading. Easy to store in the neoprene sheath.

Solid build and reliable performance. Slightly heavier than expected, but still manageable. The length adjustment is useful for different river depths.

Perfect for both beginners and experienced waders. Deployed it quickly during a sudden current and it stayed stable. The cork handle is comfortable even after hours of use.
