Abstract
A retaining system for fishing apparatus includes elastic bands which hold the reel on the handle of a fishing rod. In another embodiment the elastic bands prevent sleeves which hold the reel on the handle from disengaging from the reel. In both embodiments the elastic bands have been specially designed to permit easy rolling along the handle of the fishing rod.
