Ergonomic Angling Solutions by Trigger Happy Comfort Grips
Exhibiting Excellence: Products That Truly Perform, DSF Approved
By Derrek Stewart 4/2/19, updated 11/26/25
If you’re like me,
fishing is your passion. I’ll fish from sunrise to sunset every possible day.
Young or old, the demands of hardcore angling can wear on your body, and
especially your hands.
You use your hands
to do just about everything when you’re fishing. Each year, as an angler ages,
flexibility, cartilage, and muscle diminishes. The discs in your joints will
lose water, becoming narrower. These effects produce pressure leading to
inflammation and pain. Your grip strength can lessen, and your hands are less
tolerant of stress.

I use Trigger Happy
Comfort Grips (THCG) on every freshwater rod-and-reel setup, and on any saltwater
setups they'll fit. These innovative products make a tremendous ergonomic
difference, preventing fatigue and slipping. Made from soft rubber, Trigger
Happy makes a grip for baitcasting rod triggers and spinning reel posts. From
mild to wild, there is a wide range of colors to suit your tastes and match
your gear. Special orders and custom colors are available, too.
Banded Ribbed
Trigger Grips are available in multiple color combinations: two per package,
and still at $5.99 at Tackle Warehouse (TW). More colors are available at the
Trigger Happy Comfort Grips website; the link is below.
Spinning Reel
Banded Grip, choose from three colors, 2 per pack, remaining at the OG price of
$4.99 at TW. Comes with mounting instructions, or watch the video on the THCG
website.
The Original Banded
Trigger Grip and the Original Comfort Grip, two per package $5.99 at TW.
Original Comfort Grip (without the band) not shown, $4.99 at TW.
When I’m fishing,
there are only a few things I want to focus on, and dealing with pain and
soreness isn’t one of them. It’s not fun knowing a wide-open jerkbait bite is
taking place, and sore hands won’t let you keep up with the action.
Avoid painful
distractions. Trigger Happy Comfort Grips keep me in the game longer.
