I am not a good wader any more and simply won't wade anything without a staff. Problem was, I'd get to a place where I wanted to cast and my staff would always drop down in the water or float off to the end of it lanyard.

Solution was to put a magnetic net holder on the lower right front of my vest that holds the top of the staff handle in place. Now my staff is always right there handy when I need to grab it.

Hope this helps somebody.
