We guess that experienced angler would easily understand how this is effective in the field. A thing running out the most in a long fight or in a very tough fight is hand grip strength, and if it runs out, your power to lift up the rod will decrease drastically. Also, when retrieving with big spinning reel, you have to hold grip really tight to do stable retrieving. However, the Hexagon grip allows you to grip very tightly with small power, so it will ease exhaustion of your muscle, then your performance will last longer with more strength. Hexagon grip is necessary to catch a huge target of record class.
