Abstract
A fishing rod and reel system including a fulcrum gripping portion which also aligns the rod and a leverage gripping portion for providing lengthy and arcuate line castings with also an arm or body brace. The fishing pole has a long slender body with a longitudinal center line. The leverage gripping portion and a tip are on opposite ends of the fishing pole. The fulcrum gripping portion is positioned between the leverage gripping portion and the tip. A user places a first hand on the fulcrum gripping portion and the second hand on the leverage gripping portion, the first hand is held in one general position with the user's wrist allowing the fishing pole to pivot about the first hand. The second hand in contact with the leverage portion is quickly moved along an arcuate path about the first hand thereby casting line and lure or weight from the tip of the fishing rod.
