"I think this will do the job nicely when I am wading. I have had problems in the past with my walking staff as I just tied it with a short rope. This little device should do the job well."

Not what I expected,

"I thought it would be strong enough to hold an extended staff at the waste when not in use, but apparently it just takes the place of a cord to keep the staff from washing away if dropped."

good purchase,
May 24, 2012
By: Hobbycat

"I may be using a staff that it is a little heavy, so, I could use a little stronger retraction. However, it has not caused a problem. I'm 74 and my balance is not what it used to be. This was a good solution. It hangs down my back and is out of the way when not needed."

A must have product,
October 19, 2011
By: Bergomi
from Oslo, Norway
"Super service and a super product again Orvis. Thank you!
This keeps my staff close at hand when I am wading. I no longer have to look around to wonder where my staff is, it's right there it should be all the time. The stainless steel cable is long enough en strong too. I do not leave without it.
