The HAYS HANDLE is an accessory guaranteed to change the life of anyone who fishes the deep blue waters of our planet !!!

The Handle conforms to IGFA regulations and can be used with any make of reel, including those fitted with braces. They are just as ideal for the unlimited tackle user or commercial bluefin-tuna fishermen as they are with the tournament angler or the record-seeker pitching baits on 50lb tackle. At long last the Hays Handle makes pitching baits on 130lb tackle a much easier possibility as it raises both the complete hand and the feathering thumb to just the right height for complete control of any 50lb, 80lb or 130lb outfit (or for any tackle utilizing those sized bent-butts).

Different sized Delrin™ or nylon inserts allow any Handle to be used with a variety of different rods. Each Handle is guaranteed for the life of the product and each unit has a gloss black marine-grade anti-corrosion finish. They have also been break-tested to over 300kgs. Other advantages of this great accessory include the following:

• for professional crews, the Handle will almost certainly mean more world records, alleviating many of those missed in the past where deckhands have had to pass the rod to the angler in the chair and thus infringed IGFA rules.
• the Handle also makes a superior attachment point for a safety line - simply leave enough space between the reel and the Handle for an eye-splice to slip through and there's no more fumbling around underneath the rod, and no more scratches and no noise from metal clips.
• the Handle also makes moving heavy outfits around the entire boat an absolute breeze.
• the Handle makes fishing out of small trailable boats with 50lb tackle a much safer option.
• the Handle is a boon for the travelling angler who goes abroad with no gear at all. Simply take four Handles and feel safe and confident on any strange boat.

Although designed initially for those of less than Herculean proportions, the reaction from seasoned crews and anglers worldwide during the testing stage of this product has been phenomenal. Watching an angler of moderate proportions take a loaded rod one-handed to the chair is now a regular occurrence, and several anglers can now testify to the fact that multiple hook-ups no longer remain fraught with danger when there are more hungry fish still out the back ! Fact - this device will make your life easier, whether you're a child or a giant.

Fact - the Handle will not be broken in normal use.
Fact - it conforms to IGFA regulations.
Fact - no more lost rods and reels.
Fact - once used, you'll wonder what life before the Handle was like!

Each Handle is supplied with installation instructions, an installation wedge, and the insert of the customer's choice. Additional inserts can be purchased at any time. For all inquiries, please contact us on info@legendlures.com

".... happy to give full endorsement of the Handles, both the boys and myself were sceptical at first.

The best comment that I could make after using them for a while is ...... the rod that didn't have the Handle felt naked. We wish to thank you, and wish you all the best with the Handles. We believe all Heavy Tackle outfits should have them."

".....Worth every penny. The Handle is a permanent fixure on all my bent butt gear. Has been for over a year. Everyone who has used them on my boat has been amazed, lots of them start out as macho "we never needed these things before" types at the start of the day and at the end they are saying " I can't beleive no one thought of this before!" One of the toughest things to do with a 130 rig is to pull it from a vertical holder in the gunnel with a load on it, the Handle makes it easy for anyone, especially when it's rough and they can steady themselves with one hand and hold on to the rig with other on the way to the chair. Accidental backlashes on the way to chair occur when people are fumbling around and one of their arms hits the drag lever, I've it seen way to many times, the Handle keeps appendages clear of the danger area. The Handle makes every aspect of moving around bent-butt gear easier, a real no brainer. I never have to watch a rig turned upside down sideways out of control on it's way to the chair anymore. My first set of four is holding up beautifully after 18 months charter fishing and the ones available now have an even better finish on them. I haven't found a single negative thing about them. Plus you can troll them at any speed for any species with any style hook rig, any position, any style/color skirts any conditions, Hah. No gimmick they just do thier job! The best invention
since the napkin !! Once they try them, everyone loves them. My 11 year old daughter can even pull a 130 outfit from the covering board now without me cringing on the bridge ! They make life easier for everybody regardless of size, gender or experience level.H

The Hays Handles to me are the biggest step forward in tackle development since the lever drag, I can’t understand why every chair rod doesn’t have one.
