Cam reel attachment

A grip assembly configured for fixing a fishing reel to a fishing rod, the grip assembly comprising:

• a front seat grip non-movably fixable to a fishing rod;
• a gear rack on the front seat grip;
• a sliding grip movably fixable to the fishing rod and configured to slide in an axial direction of the fishing rod so as to selectively engage the front seat grip;
• a lever pivotally connected to the sliding grip;
• at least one tooth provided on the lever,
• wherein when the lever is actuated from an open position to a locked position, the at least one tooth engages the gear rack and the lever pulls the sliding grip toward the front seat grip on the fishing rod;
• a lever closure that includes the lever, the lever closure being pivotally fixed to the sliding grip about a lever closure pivot axis;
• a first set of detents that is at least one detent extending from the lever closure, the first set of detents being located on a portion of the lever closure across the lever closure pivot axis from the at least one tooth;
• and
• a second set of detents defined in the front seat grip, and
• wherein the first set detents is located radially about the lever closure pivot axis with respect to the at least one tooth such that the first set of detents is configured to extend toward and engage the second set of detents when the lever closure is in the locked position so as to lock a position of the sliding grip along the fishing rod relative to the front seat grip.
