About Us
The Smart Stick Story

Here is a short history on the continuing evolution of the Smart Stick tool.  We are a family of goose hunters.  The times we spend a-field are precious few.  When the opportunity presents itself; I expect my equipment to work right the first time, every time.  

Smart Stick was invented in 1994 to solve the problem of broken stakes on
silhouette decoys and windsocks.  Smart Stick is designed with an arched step.  This center of gravity concept allows for full body weight to be applied to the punch—essential for hard ground when decoys cannot be pushed in by hand.

Smart Stick Inventor- Larry Juhl
Smart Sticks are manufactured in steel creating formidable tools.   They are powder coated for a tough, no rust finish, ready for years of hunting.   Note:  spray paint or camouflage tape is recommended when tailoring Smart Sticks for different seasons and applications.

Common sense please.  My thought was if a hunter carry’s a steel tool to the field, could it be used for more applications besides just a punch during set-up?  So the Smart Stick graduated from punch to post.  By steeping the Smart Stick tightly into the ground it becomes a very practical temporary post.

Smart Sticks have proven to be great anchors for
flying decoys, stable bases for mounting cameras (to keep good tri-pods out of the mud), and they hold equipment off the ground in temporary blind situations.

Smart Sticks make solid gun rests, dog restraints, and corner posts on blinds. They make great walking sticks going to and from the blind.  I enjoyed many memorable hunts with my grandpa, the last being when he was 87.  Pride kept him from taking his cane to the field but he gladly volunteered to use the Smart Stick as his walking stick (since it was part of the equipment needed in the field anyway, of course).  

“Every time I think all of the applications for a Smart Stick have been thought of, somebody comes up with yet another one—it’s amazing!”  John Molkenbur, past president, Minnesota Duck and Goose Callers Association. It just makes good sense to invest in a tool that does more than simply punch holes.  Please check out our page of Other Applications for some off-season suggestions.


I have tried to offer you a common sense tool that will make your hunts more enjoyable.  Many hunters from the North American Hunting Club field tested and arrived at the same conclusion on the value of Smart Sticks.  (see Hunter Comments tab)
