Gets the Handle on Rod Grip Design
Of all of the elements
that go into the making of a quality fishing rod, few are as
important as the handle or grip.
For all of the attention
that has been given to the construction of rod blanks and guides
from space age materials, relatively little attention until now
has gone into the design and construction of the one component
that actually connects angler and rod - the handle.
As the designer and
maker of premium rods and components, Liberty Designs recognizes
the importance of insuring that rod handles finally catch up
with the other advances in rod-making over the last three decades.
The result of existing
designs for increasing numbers of anglers has been a painful
medical condition of the wrist known as tenosynovitis,
which we call the "Achilles heel" of serious fishermen
who log long hours and hard days on the water.
It's cause is torque.
The kind of torque that comes from the repetitive motion of casting
a rod for hours on end. As a leader in ergonomic designs for
fishing and camera gear, we decided to tackle tenosynovitis
before it brought down any more of our fishing friends.
After the casting motion
and traditional "through-the-blank" designs were analyzed,
it became clear that the culprit is fundamentally a lack of balance
between the rod and reel. This results in strain that often manifests
itself in the form of numbness or pain in the elbow, wrist or
"trigger" finger as the forearm twists and fights to
offset excessive torque created by a rod and reel combination
that is out of balance.
Our prescription for
treating these conditions is a revolutionary ergonomic design
we call the "Bionomics 2000 Grip/Torque Buster" which
allows for a much truer balance between the rod and reel and
reduces torque by providing a much more comfortable distribution
of the casting motion throughout the fingers and hand.
The Bionomics /Torque
Buster grip is available in wood, resin or artificial rubber
mounted on an incredibly strong aluminum frame that features
a black anodized finish so durable that it comes with a lifetime
warranty!
In order to introduce
you to this revolutionary grip design, the Bionomics/Torque Buster
is available to builders of quality custom rods on a single unit
basis.
We promise that your
first order will be your smallest, but not your last!
