Guest Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Anybody use the wrist saver rods? They small enough to use in a one man trap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickUrban Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I have a wrist saver rod but have not used it yet. Bought it from this site. They are only 26" long so shouldn't be any problem to use in a one man trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwmn Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I made a couple of my own last year with some old fiberglass jigging rods and PVC, they worked OK, took a little getting used to. I did notice a little less stress on my arm and wrist. They are tough to tansport, they don't fit in a bucket real well.------------------Have a good one!CWMN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I have not bought a wrist saver yet but have looked at them a few times. I do know that now they all come with a reel. The reels were made special for the rods because an off the shelf reel doesn't work well on one because of the angle. The reels that come with the rods have a special angle to them when they mount on the rod. The reel that they supply is a very good one though.......T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bill Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 When I first seen one I laughed. I told the lady selling them at the fishing show in St. Paul if she was still selling them two years from then I'll buy one. Well, I seen her last year again, and If she's at the Ice fishing show this year I;ll keep my word and (((gulp))) buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Rick Posted November 11, 2002 we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted November 11, 2002 These rods reduce the common wrist fatigue a person gets when jigging the straight rods. They also help increase your sensitivity and feel because of that. They look different than a normal rod because they're designed for a comfortable, balanced fit in your hand with good writst position. It definitely does the trick.I've used them for 2 years and I repeat, they are very comfortable and sensitive, especially when jigging.For those of you wondering what they look like or would like to order click here.

SpringerGuy Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I have been using them for both ice fishing and open water jigging. Yes they look funky, but they work. The rods are very sensitive, and durable. A great reel comes with it. You can use the same reel for both open water and ice fishing. They take just a little time to get used to holding. They really do help take the stress off the wrist. Your arm does not get tired and the end of the day from all that jigging. Highly recommended.------------------Tom MillerTournament DirectorMinnesota Walleye Trailwww.polebender.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
