Electric reel for disabled angler needed

[Christopher Wildman]

Before anyone moans this is not spam.

I need to see if I can get an electric (12v) fishing reel for a very
disabled angler.
He has very limited movement in his limbs, but can arch his spine.
I can have a special harness made by a sailmaker so that he can "lift" the
rod, I need to find a 12v reel which can take in the slack so that he can
come fishing. I intend to start him on whiting and move him on to ling,
then we will see how it goes. This guy is keen that he catch fish as far as
he can ON HIS OWN.

I am a charter skipper, I do not take bookings as a result of any posts I
make on this site. I rarely contribute so as not to be accused of "fishing"
for trade.
Gents (and Ladies) I need help on this one.

TIA Chris W.

Hi Chris

Try here http://technotren.qcommerce.com/#Home

Not cheap and I think they are American so if you know anyone over there or
going might get it cheaper.

It may be worth asking the BDAA:

http://www.bdaa.co.uk/

I've seen a few advertised over the years, all from the US, but never
actually one in the flesh.

A search on Google for 'electric fishing reels' throws up quite a few
hits and I see Mullarkeys do a fixed spool one at:

http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/Fishing-Reels/

May be a good starting point for you.

Tight lines.
