Rod Holder - A Helpmate For Leisurely Fishing

By John Whitebait

A fishing rod holder is a fantastic tool that allows anglers to use both hands when attaching the lure and removing their catch from the hook. When you use a fishing rod holder, there is no longer any worries about letting go of the pole and, perhaps, losing the fish youve worked so hard to catch.

The early designs of rod holders were composed of two parts: pole-binding and straps. The pole-binding mechanism 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 have four parts: two pole clips and two straps. They provide more stability and make it easier to see when the fish take the bait.

Other fishing rod holders have incorporated a handy 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 extra feature is a great way to guarantee that the fishing trip is enjoyable - for all on board!

Fishing rod holders come into their own when used for fly-fishing. When fishing along rocky rivers and streams, it is nigh on impossible to use one hand to fish. If you can clip the rod to your lower leg, it frees both hands for putting on 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 an excellent tool for any fishing trip. It provides extra support, makes you more aware of bites and allows you to release the rod without losing it.

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

For those of us who are not that creative, many fishing stores offer a number of good fishing rod holders specially 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 practical tool.
