ABSTRACT:
A braced handle of high rigidity and light weight includes an auxiliary hand grip, a frame and removable attachment by cinctures spaced apart linearly along a casting rod forward of the reel. The frame possesses a rearward portion, an upper medial portion and a forward portion. The rearward frame portion extends upward from the rod forward of the reel with a small inclination forward from normal to the length of the rod about which a resilient hand grip may be located. The upper medial portion rigidly connects the upper end of the rearward frame portion with the upper end of the forward frame portion which extends upwardly from the rod. The frame may further possess a lower portion parallel to and flush with the rod extending from said rearward and forward frame portions. Attachment of the handle to the rod may be made along this lower portion or simply at the lower ends of the rearward and forward portions of the frame. Either disposition effects a linear attachment of the handle with the rod within the substantially vertical plane in which a casting rod is typically displaced during fishing. A layer of resilient material may also be located about the rod where attachment is made to protect the rod surface and resist cincture slippage. The auxiliary hand grip thus provided is rigidly braced at both lower and upper ends which enables lightweight construction and high sensitivity, in control of the rod. The frame also provides a handle for manual transport of the rod and reel in a substantially horizontal disposition.
