Folstaff by Fly-Tyers Carry- All. I've had mine for over 30 years and it has been refurbished at a reasonable charge about 10 years ago. They are expensive but worth it. Get the sturdier 3/4" model.
The other quality wading staff is a Simms but they have had a recall on that one.
I bought a Folstaff this spring from MRfc http://www.mrfc.com/MadisonRiverShop...rchResult.aspx
It is great, stays out of the way unless you need it. Saved me from falls and I can wade from place to place much faster than without it.
Be sure to lube the joints with wax as directed - they give you some wax, ferrule wax works well too
