Abstract
A fishing rod provided with a reel clamp and finger grip assembly for ergonomic comfort with ease of use when fishing in deep lakes and/or ocean waters having a feature to secure the rod and reel assembly to a boat to avoid loss of the rod and reel assembly. The clamp is arranged to mount the reel on the rod in front of the handle and the finger grip on the rod at a position circumferentially spaced from the reel. This assembly is arranged to free the hand and body of the fisherperson by providing an alternative grip to eliminate tension and fatigue while fishing for long periods of time.
