Grip for Fishing Rod Handle

摘要

A grip on a fishing pole forward of the reel, which provides additional leverage and avoids interference with the reel while playing a fish. The grip device has a vertically extended portion and an angled or horizontal grab bar portion, by which with an extended arm, the angler can firmly grip the angled or horizontal portion, palm down. With the palm down, a straight line of force can be applied from the fingers of the extended arm, through the arm, to the shoulder socket. This line of force is longer, straighter, and more direct than can be achieved with other equipment and techniques where the extended arm grasps the forward portion of the handle. Furthermore, the height of the grip is closer to the elevation of the angler's shoulder, which also maximizes the force that can be applied and clears the arm and hand from interference with the reel.
