Hold it with your elbow back so that your rod holding
hand is almost at your side. Much more relaxed that way and it
doesn't stress the bicep or wrist.

OK, will try that next time. Thanks! On reflection, my hand is indeed too
far away from my body.May just be a result of my various injuries though. I
was considering some sort of "butt crutch", ( Like the belly holder for big
game).Hopefully I will be fit again in Spring.
