The StrikeFighter™ is very simple. It is like a rod controller strapped to your waist, and has a unique patent pending design to be operated by your leg. By changing leg positions you can pump your rod with incredible force. When not in use, you can slide the StrikeFighter™ around to your side or back out of the way. If you desire to fight a large fish in a normal arm pumping manor, then the StrikeFighter™ performs as a excellent base to do that with. You can also combine fighting fish in the traditional manor and when your arm gets tired, let the leg movement and the StrikeFighter™ take over or help fight the fish.


Why can a 70-pound fish wear a 170-pound man to a frazzle? Leverage! The fish has leverage. The illustration shows you a typical setup.

The illustrations above and below shows you a typical setup as viewed through mechanical leverage.

Unleash this monster the StrikeFighter™ into the equation and now the leverage reverses to the angler. (using the law of physics gives the angler the ability to use their entire body weight and leverage against the fish) That what gives the StrikeFighter™ its incredible power.

You can choose to use the StrikeFighter™ incredible power or just use it as a very comfortable rod base and use your arms to fight fish. It gives you the flexibility to fight either way or a combination of the two. The StrikeFighter™ slides to your side and while leaving your rod mounted in your StrikeFighter™ allow you too have rail control to move with the fish.

The StrikeFighter™ can be helpful in sitting, trolling, standing, wading and serf fishing. It is truly one of the most useful fishing accessories on the market.
