After you learn how to hold your rod right, you then have to know how to hold your mouth right. I put my little finger and ring finger behind the reel steam and all my other fingers go in front of it. I like to have my fingers on the fore grip and thank God I hold the rod in my left hand because if it was my right I'm not sure what I would do being fingerless. Like Skip I do have a callous from holding it this way but it feels right.
By the way, who you thinks going to take it tonight????

Interesting, I don't think I've ever taken notice of how others hold their reels. I hold my spinning reel between the index and middle finger. I've noticed that I sometimes feel pain between my fingers after a long day. I attribute it to the fact that I just don't fish as often as I used to. Makes sense to hold it with a more balanced grip...gonna give it a whirl when I finally get back on the water.
