This Active Hands Strong Arm Fishing Rod Holder review tells you whether this product is good for people with poor grip strength.
The Strong Arm fishing rod holder is an excellent piece of adaptive fishing equipment for people who have little to no grip. It lets them enjoy fishing without worrying about losing the fishing rod.
Let us take a deeper look at the Strong Arm fishing rod holder.
Product Description
The Strong Arm fishing rod holder is adaptive fishing equipment from the brand Active Hands, which aims to offer independent living to people having upper body disabilities.
It is a fishing rod holder that lets people with disabilities experience hands-free fishing by holding the fishing rod at the optimum angle and position even when they have little to no finger strength.
Durability
The Strong Arm fishing rod holder is made of high-quality oil-treated leather. The oil treatments leave the leather soft and more flexible.
The flexibility and more delicate texture of the leather not only feels comfortable against the skin but also is less prone to developing cracks with long-term use. The leather material also makes the Strong Arm rod holder light in weight, and thus it doesn’t feel unforgettable to wear the rod holder on your hands.
Fitting
The rod holder comes in a cuff shape and has buckle closure. The straps on the cuff are adjustable and thus make it a single-size cuff fit everyone.
For wearing the fishing rod holder, slide the cuff over your hands, close the buckles and adjust the straps to fit the rod holder firmly but comfortably against your skin.
There is a pocket at the bottom side of the cuff where the fishing rod end goes. Once you place the fishing rod into the cuff, it will stay in the right position without any support from your fingers.
Both left and right hand users
The fishing rod comes for both right and left hands, but you can wear either of them in either hand. By using the fishing rod holder, you don’t have to worry about keeping the fishing rod stable, with the holder securing the fishing rod tightly.
Compatibility
This holder is designed to be compatible with all standard sized fishing rods.
