Wading Staff Rubber Tip – StreamTread™ Traction for Fly Fishing
The Wading Staff Rubber Tip is designed to improve grip, reduce noise, and increase stability when wading or hiking to the river. Featuring StreamTread™ rubber, this tip grips securely between rocks and crevasses, providing dependable traction on slick river bottoms and uneven terrain.
Ideal for hike-to-fish access, shallow wading, and stealthy approaches, the rubber construction is quieter in the water than an aluminum or carbide tip, helping anglers move with less disturbance in clear or pressured fisheries.
This replacement tip screws directly onto both Simms Wading Staff models, making it an easy upgrade for anglers seeking better performance in wet conditions.

I’ve used this rubber tip on several river trips and it makes a big difference in grip. It stays secure even on slippery rocks and doesn’t make much noise. Perfect for quiet approaches when fishing in busy waters.

The tip fits my Simms Wading Staff perfectly and feels much more stable than the original. I noticed less slipping and the quietness helps when I’m trying to sneak up on fish.

Works well in shallow wading situations. The grip is solid, though it wears slightly after a few weeks of use. Still, it’s a reliable upgrade over the metal tip.
