BASS HANDLER CUSTOM PISTOL GRIP HANDLE WITH TRIGGER FOR BAITCASTING & SPINCASTING REELS
This is a very rare custom handle that has a unique patented design. BASS HANDLER manufactured in Lake Charles, Louisiana. It is almost 12 inches in length and the inside diameter of the hole for the fishing rod blank is 3/4 of an inch.It has a hard rubber pistol grip that is 4 3/8 inches long. The rest of the custom handle is a hard plastic with a trigger grip, an adjustable aluminum screw and a very unique triangular hole in front of the reel seat. This custom handle is definitely one of a kind and will turn a lot of heads for sure.
A fishing rod and handle are disclosed in which there is no twisting of the rod in the fisherman’s hand while handling a large fish; no twisting of the eyes of the rod; longer, smoother, and more accurate casts can be made; and in which friction and line wear are reduced. The fishing rod and handle comprise a rod, the handle having a lower portion and an upwardly extending forward portion, means for securing a reel of fishing line to the lower portion, means for securing the rod to the upper end of the forward portion, and the upwardly extending forward portion having an opening therethrough below the rod. Downwardly extending eyes are secured to the rod and spaced along its length and adjacent its tip, so that the fishing line extends from the reel, through the opening and through the eyes below the rod in a substantially straight line. The opening is an inverted elongate triangle preferably having rounded corners with its altitude extending lengthwise and shaped so that it accommodates fishing lines from various reels without the line rubbing against sides of the opening with the pole in all normal fishing positions, and when the reel is full or not full of line.
SUMMARY
The present invention is directed to a fishing rod and handle in which twisting of the rod in the hand of the fisherman while handling a fish and twisting the eyes on the rod are eliminated; the line does not engage sides of the opening in the riser section through which it extends and thus friction and line wear are reduced; longer and more accurate casts are possible; there is no restriction providing for smoother flow of the line through the riser opening thereby eliminating backlasher; which can accommodate any casting or spin-casting reel on the market; and which is relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
