I leave the walker in the tow vehicle and use a cane to get to the boat. I usually set the rod butt in my gut as long as I have eaten recently so I don't accidentally start the digestive process on the rod butt. I still have several pistol grip rods in the inventory and they are all intact.

These marks started at Fork when I first moved to Texas. I originally thought I had some type of fatal disease and was seriously worried. Since that time the scars have dramatically increased thanks to a once special lake and have never disappeared.
You can thank SAL for that!

Hmmm.. I must be doing something wrong.. Or you guys are doing something wrong.. The end of the rod never gets to my belly or ribs when I set the hook.. Im just using my hands.. Are you technically supposed to set the hook with the rod in your gut ?

More of a permanent callused area. It bruises up some when things get interesting, especially on my annual muskie trip.
