A fishing rod holder is a handy tool makes it possible for anglers to use both hands when setting the lure and removing their catch from the hook. Using a fishing rod holder, the angler doesn't have to worry about letting go of the pole and, perhaps, losing the fish they've worked to catch.
Early designs were made of two parts: pole-binding and straps. The pole-binding device used a strap to tie the fishing pole to the railing. The strap, often using velcro, was tied around the angler's waist, wrist, or ankle. But the early designs were awkward and often interfered with fishing, rather than helping. Newer designs have 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 include a remedy for sea sickness by applying a constant pressure to critical acupressure points on the body. Especially when worn throughout the fishing trip on a boat, the additional feature is a great way to enjoy the fishing trip.
But fishing rod holders are best when used for fly-fishing. Fishing along rocky rivers and streams, it is almost impossible to use one hand to fish. Being able to clip the rod to your lower leg frees both hands for attaching the lure and removing the fish from the hook. Upper pole clips allow free rotation and movement, making flexible rods easier to handle.
But the fishing rod holder is a great tool for any fishing trip, whether you're fishing from a dock, a boat, or on land. It gives extra support, makes you more sensitive to bites, and allows you to release the rod without losing it.
Many anglers make their own rod holders. All it takes is a strong support and some straps. You can even use a bungee cord if you're really creative. This is an inexpensive way to improve your fishing results. But many fishing stores offer a variety of good fishing rod holders specifically designed for different fishing experiences.
Sure, you can have a great time fishing without a fishing rod holder. But you can have an even better, more successful fishing trip with this handy tool.
