    Extended Warranties – Worth It or Not?

    You’ll often be offered an extended warranty when buying higher-end fishing wading sticks. Is it worth paying extra for added coverage?

    It depends on a few factors:

  • The upfront warranty/protection included by the manufacturer
  • Your expected frequency and intensity of use
  • How well you’ll maintain and care for the item
  • The cost of the extended warranty vs. potential repair costs
  • If you’ll be using the fishing wading sticks frequently for years in tough conditions, and the warranty is reasonably priced, it could provide valuable protection. But for casual, careful use, you may be able to skip it.
