Yea, I think that’s part of my problem. Anything made anywhere can have failures. I’ve just seen so much from China stuff. Heard some wild stories about what goes on in those factories and if half of it’s true it’s concerning. Could be said for about anything we use, not just hunting items. This isn’t even a finger at tethered, mainly China. Also not bashing the sticks. They’re hard to beat! I just like my compacts a lot too. Maybe I’ll just rotate them in and out idk hahaI still think Beast sticks LWCG Novix/LW are the safest and best sticks out and made in USA! When you start making stick 1lb and in China some thing gonna give!
Ive had my gen 3 sticks since release and not an issue. You guys are exhausting on these...one post they are the best next day they are china junk and you sell them...then a week later you buy another set. A wobble , a slight wobble...really ? With a size 12 rubber boot You feel a slight wobble?... has one come.undone yet ..? Has anyone broken a gen 3 or are we just looking for something? these wobble and im going back to beast or whatever...its exhausting
Hahahah yep, this week they hate them let’s check back in 7-10 business days
Bad Luck?I might sell everything I have and rebuild for next season cuz something is bad luck….lol
@enkriss you’re better than that brother!Then don’t open the thread if it’s so exhausting. Not that hard.
I get what you’re saying and agree to some extent but it’s good to have the varying reports from different users gives us all a better idea of how the sticks truly are overall or on average. I appreciate all views and experiences so we don’t want to squelch that either. Personally I’ve been very happy with them sans the OG ropes they came with which I replaced with the RDA ropes specifically made for these and the skeletors. But I don’t ever want folks to stop being critical of gear we all pay good money for that doesnt perform over time and with hard use as advertised.Ive had my gen 3 sticks since release and not an issue.

I was just on RDA website. In the rope mod photos, I noticed that he removed the rope containment button. The rope is just wrapped around the steps and bungeed to the dynalite button. Anyone tried this?

Those are gen1 sticks. They didn’t have the containment button. The containment button is the way to go
Was packing up my 4 sticks tonight after climbing down and noticed a wobble on a bottom step. I was in the middle of a swamp with deer around so didn’t spend of ton of time investigating. It wasn’t a millimeter wobble either, it was moving a bit. Looks like I’ll need to reach out as well.
It’s just frustrating as heck to have this happen in the middle of the rut. Up until this point I’ve had zero issues. I know they will take care of me so no worries there, it’s just a PITA.
Which gen is your sticks? I’ve been debating on grabbing a set but hear all this wobble and what not.. makes me think I’m better off sticking with my EWO ultralightsWas packing up my 4 sticks tonight after climbing down and noticed a wobble on a bottom step.

I’ve been using mine a lot so far last half of last season and all of this season….. so far so good. I did upgrade to the RDA ropes though.Which gen is your sticks?
