[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 4]Do you use a wading staff? You bet I do. It has save my butt from many dunkins. I use GearKeeper which has a 3' retractable wire that I clip on to the back of my vest. I just let it hang behind me. It doesn't hinder my movement and is right there in case of an emergency. I have a one piece staff for I really don't trust the collapsable units. It also serves as an aid when walking down steep banks. I would hate to have to go fishing for my gear should I take a header.[/size][/green][/font]
