Overall I would recommend this product but I'm leery of the pin/button attachment as being strong enough and with strong-enough threads.
Looks to me to be very close to the same quality as my Simm's retractor but I'm not sure about the threaded "button" attachment that allows you to screw it onto your wading belt. The threaded pin is pretty small so I don't think the attachment using this mechanism is a very good idea but I'm going to try it anyway.
This keeper comes with multiple ways to attach a staff to your person. Keeps it easily available for quick use. That sure helps you staying on your feet and fishing. Really, as important as the staff.
