Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Rod Holder - A Helpmate For Leisurely Fishing

By John Whitebait

A fishing rod holder is a useful 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, you don't have to worry about letting go of the pole and, just maybe, 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 device 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 usually interfered with fishing rather than helping as they were supposed to do. 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 provide the angler with a handy remedy for sea sickness by applying a constant pressure to critical acupressure points on the body. When worn during the fishing trip on a boat, this extra feature is an excellent way to ensure that the fishing trip is enjoyable - for eberyone on board!

Fishing rod holders are at their best 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 attaching the lure and taking the fish from the hook. Upper pole clips provide free rotation and movement, making flexible rods easier to handle and fishing that much more enjoyable.

Regardless of whether you are fishing from a dock, a boat, or on land, the fishing rod holder is an excellent tool for any fishing trip. It gives extra support, gives you extra sensitivity to bites and allows you to release the rod without losing it.

Many anglers have created their own rod holders. All you need is a strong support and some straps. It is even possible to use a bungee cord if you are really creative. This is an inexpensive way to boost your fishing results.

For anglers who are not that creative, many fishing stores sell a variety of good fishing rod holders specifically designed for different fishing experiences, usually at reasonable prices.

You can have a fantastic time fishing without a fishing rod holder. But you can make it an even better, more successful fishing trip with this handy tool.
