The Difference! There is a life after Stroke or Injury!

---

 Hello Eddie,

Thank you for sending the Freedom Fishing System so quickly, I was expecting it to take much longer. It fits Nigel perfectly and he is extremely pleased with it. I fitted the rod handle to the tube using self amalgamating tape. I cut enough off to put the reel just in front of the tube. I put enough tape on to the rod handle, at the bottom and the middle, to allow the rod to be forced in to the tube , then taped over the join between the rod and the tube to make it water tight. The rod is now fixed very strongly in place. I used this method as I was not sure how various glues would react with the foam on the handle. Nige was able to use the system whilst standing and sitting. While we were out fishing yesterday he caught Thornback Rays, Dogfish, Pouting and Sea Bass. He also was able to feather for Mackerel. Thank you very much for developing this system, Each step Nige takes to wards doing the things he was able to do before the stroke, lifts his spirit and drives him forward to the next challenge.  He is now seeing that he can do the same activities as before but just needs to find new ways of doming them.  He has already started to race yachts again but instead of being the sail trimmer he is now on the helm having to learn new skills as he goes.

 Best regards

 HI Eddie

Sorry was going through my photos and remembered you wanted some pics.

I have a Deep Sea Boat and fish every chance I get.

The Barracuda is going great – its comfortable and well put together. After my Motorcross accident I  was extremely depressed to the thought of never fishing again. And in South Africa the focus on disabilities is a far cry from USA – So I want to thank you for giving me my freedom back.
I will send you a video of me fishing off the rocks in the Transkei managed to land a Raggietooth shark
Keep well and thanks for saving me

Kind Regards

 I've seen this beast in action when my friend and I went tuna fishing in the Pacific. He wore the Barracuda because he only has one arm. We were both curious at first if it would hold up, but he was fighting and pulling in tuna in no time at all. We were out there fishing almost all day. If you've ever fished tuna you know how much of a fight they put up. The Barracuda did its job with ease. It's lightweight, comfortable and can be used with either hand. We brought in over 60 tuna that day and because of the Barracuda I can honestly say I've been out fished by a one armed man!

Hi Eddie,

We have had some good feedback on the Barracuda saying it has helped with them with holding the rod when reeling in and landing more fish. We teamed the harness with a power and one touch finger operation reel.

At this point what numbers of units do you have in stock?

Regards

   Hi Eddie, I think I might have just spoken with you on the phone as I was trying to add a gimbal butt and a spring plunger to my order online but the system wouldn’t let me check out.

Can you please confirm you will add the two items to my order?

Thanks.

If you need to contact me you can either use this email address. I’m a stroke survivor who has lost the use of the left arm and can’t wait to receive your equipment to go back out fishing!

Thnks in advance for your work and help,

Andy

I purchased a left hand sidewinder with a spring loaded plunger, and gimbal butt and I couldn't be more happy. I'm an avid bass fisherman and I went out this past week, and caught a crappie, and pickerel. The bass were off, but just two days later my buddy and his son caught 10 bass. Thank you Freedom Adaptive Systems for hooking me up and allowing me to enjoy the sport I love post stroke. David Duffy Fitzwilliam, NH
