I personally don't like them longer than 24 inches in length. Long enough for me.

Although, some older Tail dancers, Comanche's, Ponca, and Osage have given me sticks that were longer than that, especially one from a Comanche relation that gave me one that was 36 inches long!!!

Here's an example of a stick I did and sold on Ebay earlier this year.

It's approximately two feet in lenth, and around three fourths inches in diameter.

It's made from two sections of a shotgun cleaning rod, for ease of transport when travelling and you need to fit it all in a suitcase.

Sticks now resides in Massachusetts. It's got a twin in Texas, Dallas to be specific. But, that one's a bit different.

whats the difference?

is there a difference between a tail stick and the one you have pictured ? i have always been confused. I know you must be given the right to carry a tail stick but what about just a regular dance stick?
