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.
