Honestly, I decided to give the Trail Buddy sticks a try off amazon and they have worked perfect. Light, pretty strong, cork grip and only $35. I've taken them into some rough places and they've been great. My hunting buddy runs Black Diamonds and I haven't noticed a difference.
Gotcha. We are here for the next 2-3 years. Be sure to get a membership at the rod & gun club, great place to get out and practice before season opens.

Keep us posted on how you like those. Not sure what weight you are coming from but I think you'll like stepping up to a higher weight. I don't know much about the griz sticks but I am interested in how they work out.

Seems that some are hesitant about cutting diameter but outside of that have heard nothing but good. Planning on picking up a pack for myself next month to try out.
