Maniform Ergonomic Handles

Hi
I have found the importer / distributor of these handles in the UK

[www.siestacorktile.com]

I am interested in fitting one to a 9' 9wt rod which I intend to use for Pike fishing.
Has anyone used one?, do they work?. I have an elbow problem (tennis elbow) on my casting arm and I wonder if they will help my grip
Thanks

I have a maniform grip on an 8wt and really like it.
To really know if it will benifit you, you will have to bite the bullet and give it a try.
Might want to match it with an inexpensive blank and hardware just in case you hate it.

I think I got one from Anglers Workshop here in America. Guy I used it for liked it for a few months but eventually came back and had me swap it out for an oversized half wells.

Had people with arthritis use them and like them. I'm not so sure it would help tennis elbow.
