ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod handle for providing a more comfortable and efficient grip during retrieving includes two distinct grips, one to be utilized during the casting motion and a separate grip to be utilized during the retrieving motion. The handle includes a reel seat on which a fishing reel is mounted, and a casting grip defined on the handle behind the reel position. The handle further includes a retrieving grip which is attached to the handle forward of the reel. The retrieving grip includes a support segment which extends upwardly from the handle, and a gripping segment which extends rearward from the support segment, so that the gripping segment is positioned above the fishing reel. This configuration is advantageous in that it provides the fisherman with a gripping location which facilitates improved balance, and which allows the fisherman to more comfortably and efficiently overcome the difficulties incurred due to the opposing upward and downward forces created during hook setting and fish retrieving.
