An alternative to the original YakStick Mud Anchor, the lightweight YakGear - YakStick Floating Stake-Out Stick provides effortless and silent anchoring in shallow waters. Available in 6ft, Stake-Out sticks are a preferred anchoring method in shallow coastal waters as well as in shallow lakes and streams. The new multi-purpose handle design allows for a firm grip when pushing through a variety of hard bottoms and can be flipped around to be used as a push pole mud foot or push off. The YakStick shaft is made of 7/8" vertical and horizontal pultrusion-formed fiberglass, giving it unsurpassed strength. Its handle and point are made of rigid nylon and best of all, it floats!
