I've been watching climbing stick comparison videos the past couple months and Beast sticks seem to receive a good amount of recommendations. Doing an online search today and this ad showed up on Ebay. Anyone who owns Beast sticks recognize them as genuine or knock-offs for that price?

I'm have seen those on there. Says they are shipped from Sussex Wi.. Not sure where there manufacturer is. I kinda wondered if they are returns or seconds they can't sell as new.
They do seem to go on sale from time to time and puts them pretty close to that number.
 
They look exactly like my Beast sticks right down to the antler standoffs. FYI their products ship from Menomonee Falls, WI. I will also add that I am really impressed with the quality and performance of the ones I bought.
 
Nearing the end of season 1 with the saddle.....and definitely going to continue next year. Considering climbing stick options and Beast sticks seem to receive pretty high marks. How has used them and can offer pros/cons? I'm likely going to wait until after Christmas, so I am not in a rush to get new sticks. Gather intel at present.
 
I have a set. I had bought a variety of different sticks to find what I liked the best and I ended up selling all and going strictly Beast with all having the USA Amsteel attachment and Cable Aiders. They bite the tree hard, lightweight and pack great. My opinion “the con” you need to stealth strip which is what I’m doing this offseason. With the holes being in the aluminum any metal contact makes it a lot louder than normal sticks.
 
I started with Muddy pro sticks because I thought the folding steps would be a benefit. I personally didn't find the folding steps a game changer. The muddys work well but are kinda heavy, so once I was sure saddle hunting was for me I upgraded. The beast sticks are light and grip well, but you really need to stealth strip for sure. The stick and where they stack together need it to be quiet. I really like the way the sticks stack and lock together with the rod ,sold separately of course.

What ever sticks you decide on, make sure they will work with the aider of your choice, if you are going to use a aider.
Beast does not recommend a versa aider.
 
I have four of the full length beast sticks I'm not using anymore. I love them. Nothing bad about them at all. PM me if you would rather go through a forum member than eBay. Mine are all stealth stripped and in great condition.

I have a two-step Ultimaider from EWO and also a pair of Amsteel aiders from the Amsteel Guy on Etsy. Hoping one or both are suitable with the 20" Beast sticks. I talked it over with my bride today and she is all for getting top end sticks for safety. Ordered them a little while ago from the Ebay listing. I sent a link to the contact page of Beast Stick and got a reply early this morning it is legit.

Thank you for the offer. I have a set of LW full length OG sticks, so was looking for the shorter version for easier carrying with my saddle setup.
 
Beast - Dan Infault is based in Wisconsin to the best of my knowledge.

It’s a dicey game posting good deals on saddlehunter…
 
I watched an online video of the Beast sticks last night and really like the design concepts behind them. Using two bolts for the step to prevent rocking is awesome. I added EWO double steps on my OG 32" LW sticks and they rock a bit.....not a fan although they work. The antler designed standoff is another feature that looks to be well conceived. Hoping they arrive in time for me to use them before the end of season. I see more Stealth Strips in my future......

Mario lives in Sussex so maybe he is shipping them. The warehouse is in Menomonee Falls which is the next community to the East of Sussex.

I've used the versa aider on my sticks hundreds of times with no issue. Indeed I have heard dan say not to use the versa aider but I've not experienced nor have I ever seen a report anywhere on any forum of an incident happening over it. My 2 cents

Dan does nor recommend any aiders due to sticks not being tested to use them. There are videos out there stating he does see the merit of aiders. I personally used versa, cag, multi step and cable aiders with both 20 and 24 inch beast sticks. No issues with the sticks kicking out but also not a huge fan of any of them but cable aiders.

My Beast Sticks were delivered yesterday afternoon and they are fully, 100% from the factory Beast Sticks. Not open box or bliems or returns....they are perfect as one would anticipate from a premium product. Shipping from WI to MI, they got them right out on Friday and UPS tracking showed they were 25 miles from my home in the area UPS hub at 2:30am Saturday.....and sat there for two full days until being loaded early Monday morning.
I was hoping to get to the woods today, but pre-Christmas stuff and a stiff west wind in the low 30's was not very inviting. Hopefully Thursday I will get a run through with them. Not sure why they wouldn't work with aiders, as they hold body weigh and I've heard a number of guys using them without issue?
