This 54" collapsible aluminum wading staff includes a neoprene storage case and measures less than 15" collapsed. Ergonomic foam handle and nylon wrist lanyard.....Lightweight but very stury, Built strong enough for hard use by the "full figured angler." Has a heavy metal blunted tip. A deal compared to more expensive stuff that costs as much as two to three times as much and doesn't perform any better than this staff.
