Higher-end stick comparison

I find the LWCG compact sticks to feel the best under foot. I have also been messing around with their doublestep sticks again also. They are growing on me a bit but you definitely need to use the cam straps or a truckers hitch or they don’t bite good. I also found running from the button under the ears seems to give the sticks a bit more bite than over the top or from the ears also.

Have you ever tried the LWCG with the davet method of tying amsteel?

I'm also looking to either one stick this year or switch to a much better set of sticks.....Currently use cut down helium's at 24" with movable aider.

I thought he just used an Amsteel rope mod?

I made daisy chains for mine with small 1” dia loops I intend to do a modified truckers hitch. Instead of tying half hitch’s after pulling the daisy tight just going back to the button.

I'm not sure what to call it but it's what I use. Amsteel rope, over the button behind the rope, around the button twice and two half hitches. Just curious if it works well with those LWCG sticks.

Are you looking for input from others are are YOU looking to do a product comparison as stated above?

If you are looking for input from others, here is mine, I have limited experience with the One sticks, but given unresolved issues surrounding the new technology and designs, I would hesitate to be buy them right now. If you are looking for light and compact, there are sticks available at comparable weight and employ more tried and true construction methods. Catalyst has some sticks coming that will be under a pound. EWO, Beast and Shikar FX are all great choices and pack well. Trophyline/Novix is rumored to be coming out with double step sticks soon. I have yet to not like one of their products. Good news is there is time to decide before season.

Anyways, good luck with your search.

They were $115 ea when I got them. I took a big hit when selling them. I certainly would not pay $140 ea for them. I would go with beast sticks personally. The inline stacking is huge for me.

I still want to try the timber ninjas but my brain wont let me get past $42 to ship 1 stick.

I don't think Catalyst is in business any longer!
