The original design for that idea came from a company called outdoor grips. They have been popular with musky guys for a few years now. Typically i have seen the stand alone version placed on the foregrip. I have no experience with the actual reel seat but the original version was outstanding for retrieving big baits whether it was big hard pulling bucktails being burned in or rip/pause retrieve with big rubber baits. It took quite a bit of stress off the forearm and wrist. Some guys loved them, some guys don't care for them. It's a personal preference thing but definitely worth trying if you feel the need for it.
