Abstract: A rest for a fishing pole which will not only add additional support for a fishing pole, but will also transfer some of the shock to a user's arm, thereby protecting the user's wrist. It comprises a rest which is attached to the fishing pole and has an arm which fits under the user's forearm to provide support. In addition, the device includes a strike strength meter which will indicate the weight of a fish on the line. Also, the extension arm has a storage container incorporated therein for small fishing accessories. In the alternative, the storage container can be a separate item which is attached to the extension arm. In addition the arm may contain a blister which contains air in order to make the device float.
