Abstract: An articulated fishing reel handle assembly for attachment to a fishing reel. The fishing reel handle assembly generally comprises an elongate crank arm having a first end rigidly connected to the fishing reel in a manner wherein the crank arm extends along a first axis disposed at approximately a 90-degree angle relative to an axis extending through the fishing reel. Rotatably connected to the second end of the crank arm is a bearing member which extends along a third axis disposed at approximately a 90-degree angle relative the first axis and substantially parallel to the second axis. A reel handle is rigidly connected to the distal end of the bearing member in a manner wherein the reel handle extends along a fourth axis which is angularly offset approximately 72 degrees from the third axis. The reel handle is connected to the bearing member such that the reel handle has a greater length below the third axis than above the third axis and is preferably formed of self-skinning polyurethane.
