  • Casts Anywhere - The caster turns on the mounting bracket to allow casting in any direction.
  • Casting Distance - Consistently casts a large size wooden egg bobber 100 feet. Although lighter baits won't cast quite as far, it will cast heavier baits and lures over 100 feet.
  • Ability to Fight Fish - The three push buttons, which control all of the functions of the caster, can be activated in a sequence to create a "Pumping Action" with the fishing rod allowing the user to fight, play-out and land large fish
  • For totally hands-free fishing, a chest plate is worn on the user's chest which supports a fully adjustable arm and control box containing either the 3 push buttons that can easily be activated by the user's chin; or 3 adjustable Modular Hoses that can be positioned for sip and puff control.
  • For extremity control, the chest plate can be used as a base to position the buttons either in the lap or near a foot for push-button control.
