Products for Disabled Anglers

Since he began guiding over 15 years ago Captain Ron Rebeck, founder of Florida BackCountry, has had the opportunity to assist physically challenged anglers who had chartered him for a days fishing.  Through his own experience and that of many other guide friends, Captain Ron developed a series of angler fishing aids.  

The “Rodmate” is one product in particular that Captain Ron has found to be a valuable aid to many physically challenged people who enjoy the sport of fishing. Numerous challenged people have indicated to him that the “Rodmate” has helped them in the ability to handle their rod and reel and to independently perform the acts necessary when fishing, such as changing tackle, removing their catch from the hook, displaying their catch and helping hold and stabilize their rod while reeling. Seeing how the “Rodmate” has helped these challenged fisherman to further enjoy the sport he loves, Captain Ron did an extensive study of other products and available aids that could further assist the physically challenged and make them available for sale here at Florida Backcountry.
