Super User FryDog62 Posted January 20, 2016 Super User Posted January 20, 2016 Anyone ever tried these - especially on spinning reels? With the reel stem between my fingers and a long day of fishing, I do crunch my fingers and knuckles a fair amount when I set the hook or get a snag. Or any other products out there like this to compare? http://www.triggerhappycomfortgrips.com Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 20, 2016 Super User Posted January 20, 2016 I have not used this product nor do I know of anything else out there like it. TT did a nice review of both the casting & spinning versions. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewtriggerhappy.html Personally, I've never felt this was a much of a concern on either rig. Probably won't be using this one. A-Jay Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Super User Posted January 20, 2016 Maybe its because I fish river current a fair amount, or that smallmouth don't give up (or maybe I get snagged a lot) but I noticed this past year the crunch between my fingers seemed worse. I'm also recovering from wrist surgery (My 4th operation between my 2 wrists) and maybe I'm just more prone to discomfort now. Want to figure something out so I can keep fishing pain free. Maybe I'll try them out and give a BR review. But if anyone knows of any other similar products I can compare against that would be good too ~ Quote

5fishlimit Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Try using some golf tape around that part. It's easier to put on than that thing. 1 Quote
DCales84 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I picked up the spinning reel versions late last season. So far they are worth the money after having hand and wrist issues. They come two in a pack so the cost isn't to bad overall. 1 Quote

DCales84 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 If you decide to try them out ill give you a piece of advice. Before installing them read the directions and wet the reel with water to help the grip slide easier. I was able to get all four of my grips installed in under a few min without any issues. From what I have heard if you have any issues and destroy one attempting to install it the company is normally willing to replace them. Quote
