Without going into all the pros and cons, what I look for in a stick is less than 2lbs, bites the tree well, stand off distance and finally cost. I wear a size 13 boot and I am well over 200 lbs. so far for me, the ultra light sticks from eastern woods outdoors have been my number one. The stand off clearance and bite are amazing. You can choose between a variety of stick lengths… but with those options come a steep price tag. I know others don’t like these, but thus far, I have really enjoyed the X2 sticks from XOP. They come in at 1.75 lbs. they bite the tree pretty well and the stand off clearance is 5”. They also come in at $179.99 for a 4 pack so that’s awesome. If my feet were smaller, it would either be the shikar sticks or the lwcg 17” double sticks that I would be using. Unfortunately they were both around 4” of clearance from the tree and it just wasn’t enough for my liking.
