Did you know the Device Loan Program has assistive technology (AT) for fishing?
The StrikeFighter Sitting model is built for one-arm fishing while using standard fishing gear. The base of your fishing pole fits into the StrikeFighter and operates as a base, catching fish without removing the rod from the StrikeFighter. A belt and shoulder strap fasten the pole securely to the user. Cast your line with the available arm, then insert it in the StrikeFighter horn. Then, start reeling in when you get a bite!
The Fish Winch 4000 is an adaptive automatic fishing reel designed for people who use only one hand or arm to cast and catch fish. The cordless, electric spinning reel is easy to use and lightweight. The Fish Winch 4000 has two speeds, making it great for most freshwater fishing (bass, walleye, catfish, etc.) and light inshore saltwater fishing (flounder, trout, redfish, etc.).
The Strong Arm Rod Holder is a one-size-fits-all treated leather glove that can be worn over/under most clothing. The glove can be worn on either the left or right hand by flipping the logo to the other side. Place the fishing pole into the sleeve of the glove for added stability.
Free fishing days are coming up on June 6 and 7. Free fishing days allow anyone to fish in Oklahoma without a state license. A free paddlefish permit is still required, and some city permits may be required as well.
