### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ should have bought this years ago
*by W***S on July 10, 2025*

Great piece of gear. Don't know how I lived without it. It's basically a heavy duty zinger. Your wading staff is there when you need it. Easily extends but retracts you staff when not in use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staff
*by R***N on April 25, 2026*

Will work great for my wadding staff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great retractor
*by B***B on January 15, 2024*

This retractor has enough beef to it to retract my wading pole and keep it close at hand. I keep it on my right side because my right arm is stronger. I just switch my fly rod to my left when I move.
