Rod Holder - A Friend For Leisurely Fishing

By John Whitebait

A fishing rod holder is a useful tool that lets anglers 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 the concern of letting go of the pole and, just maybe, losing the fish youve worked so hard to catch.

The first designs of rod holders were composed 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 awkward and often interfered with fishing instead of helping as they were supposed to do. Newer designs are comprised of four parts: two pole clips and two straps. They allow for more stability and make it easier to see when the fish take the bait.

Other fishing rod holders have incorporated a useful remedy for sea sickness by applying a constant pressure to critical acupressure points on the body. When worn throughout the fishing trip on a boat, this added feature is a great way to guarantee that the fishing trip is enjoyable - for all on board!

Fishing rod holders are at their best when used for fly-fishing. When fishing along rocky rivers and streams, it is almost impossible to use one hand to fish. If you can clip 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 even more enjoyable.

Whether you're fishing from a dock, a boat, or on land, the fishing rod holder is a great 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.

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

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

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