Snowbee Prestige

Very well made wading stick. My only gripe was that it was very hard to lock/unlock the stick until I saturated the stop mechanism with WD-40.

Bought in January for salmon fishing. I have probably used it 25 times at the most, and as the water has been low, for only short periods. Perhaps three hours use in total. Today, in fast water, one of the ferrules just came off. Leaving me stranded. Fortunately I'd passed the worst of the water. I will be negotiating a refund, not a replacement! Very disappointed indeed.Note added: I have been able to repair the fault, super glue did the trick. Better than getting a refund, and actually very simple to do.Further note: the locking mechanism failed, and while attempting to get it to unjam, stood in the middle of the river, the central wire snapped. The item completely failed. Not fit for purpose.

Be aware if you order the smaller version it does not look like the above photo. I intend to use mine once the season restarts for travelling light so this won’t be a problem. Mine has 3 very small front pockets ( will take a small spool of mono at most )as opposed to the 2 large ones shown in the above image. It appears very well made, light weight & compact. If all you need to carry is the bare minimum of kit for a few hours stalking this is ideal. For a full days fishing plus food & drink you will need more.

Great little game bag so much room inside I was very impressedI have 2 reels inside 4fly box’s with all the other bits and bodsWith a flask and sandwich too really handy for a morning on the river

good

I must say that there are no bad comments about this staff, get one.
