Rod Holder - An Assistant To Leisurely Fishing

.

By John Whitebait

A fishing rod holder is a useful tool that allows anglers to use both hands when setting the lure and removing their catch from the hook. When you use a fishing rod holder, you don't have to worry about letting go of the pole and, just maybe, losing the fish youve worked so hard to catch.

The original designs of rod holders were made up of two parts: pole-binding and straps. The pole-binding device used a strap to fix the fishing pole to the railing. The strap, usually using velcro, was attached to the angler's waist, wrist or ankle. But these early designs were cumbersome and often hindered fishing instead of helping as they were supposed to do. Newer designs have four parts: two pole clips and two straps. They give the user more stability and make it easier to see when the fish take the bait.

Other fishing rod holders provide the angler with a handy remedy for sea sickness by applying a constant pressure to vital acupressure points on the body. When worn throughout the fishing trip on a boat, this extra feature is an excellent way to ensure that the fishing trip is enjoyable - for eberyone on board!

Fishing rod holders come into their own when used for fly-fishing. When fishing beside rocky rivers and streams, it is almost impossible to use one hand to fish. If you are able to secure the rod to your lower leg, it frees both hands for attaching the lure and removing the fish from the hook. Upper pole clips give free rotation and movement, making flexible rods easier to handle and fishing that much more enjoyable.

Whether you're fishing from a dock, a boat, or on land, the fishing rod holder is an excellent tool for any fishing trip. It gives extra support, makes you more sensitive to bites and allows you to release the rod without losing it.

Many anglers have fashioned their own rod holders. All you need is a strong support and a few straps. It is even possible to use a bungee cord if you're really creative. This is an inexpensive way to improve your fishing results.

For those of us who are not that creative, many fishing stores offer a variety of good fishing rod holders specifically designed for different fishing experiences, usually at reasonable prices.

It is possible to have a fantastic time fishing without a fishing rod holder. But you can make it an even better, more successful fishing trip with this handy tool. - 20763
