My sticks in the past were either buckle or ratchet type with some type of versa button or hook and it was a challenge to set the stick where I wanted it before the final cinch. I always seem to be leaning to close or to far away from the tree. Granted I'm not the most agile person with a line mans belt. Today, I believe I would go with a stick that offers the rope and cam system which secures directly on the front side of the stick. The set point would be directly in front of me allowing a better initial securing of the stick without having to adjust my lineman's belt. Today, if I were still using sticks, I would give the Muddy's with their cam system a try or I would convert my Lone Wolf sticks to the cam.
