Hi everyone, I have just joined.

My question for everyone is, does anyone know of any tackle for the disabled?

Hi jethro, any sort really, as you don't seem to be able to find anything made with the disabled angler in mind.

I would suspect that there is little if anything commercially available, most disabled anglers would have tackle adapted to suit their needs. it might be worth asking the questions on the British Disabled Anglers Association web site
British Disabled Angling Association - Services

Not found any myself, the best thing to do is find a style of angling you can manage with the problems you have. I manage quite well with one hand the other one hangs by my side like I've got a pot on.What ever you chose I'm sure you'll adapt.

about the only thing i can think of that might help anyone limited to one arm/hand is the ezefeeder, which basically replaces a catapult, the Fox landing net floats would also take a bit of the strain off landing fish.
