Wading stick and CO2 PFD in salt?

[MountainBreeze]

Just wonderin' how many of you use a stick and/or CO2 PFD when wading the salt.

I see tons of folks w/ em' in the sweet water and only a handfull in the salt, usually around rocky areas.

but i think its a good idea! - haven't seen the co2 pdf's but they sound better than a pdf that will ride up on yah....in tall water.
not sure where you can get one either. as for a cane sometimes a tripod would be necessary to prevent being knocked over but
where do ya stow it when not in use? lemme know ok...
