RGM Adaptability Product Guide

Some in production, some in research and testing

Fishing (The Step above fishing Systems)

Sport Fishing, Sit Down System - Package

Package consisting of seat, harness and rod. Production since 2007

Sport Fishing, Stand Up System - Package

Package consists of gimbaled belt, harness and Rod. Production since 2007

Rods

Rods are gimbaled butts and designed for 20# line maximum. In production since 2007

Harness

Harness is designed to balance the rod with the gimbaled belt or gimbal in the seat.

The Chest size is important. Also consideration should be taken in the size of the persons arms. Normally a given chest size will have enough adjustments for several inches over the shoulders and around the chest to compensate for weight changes. The harness is designed with a ring in the back so that a leash or tie down can be installed to help stabilize the individual using the system.

Many people who are paralyzed from the mid body down may fall forward when fighting a fish. They need some sort of stabilization and assistance to avoid injury. A caregiver should always be with them in outdoors sports.

Gimbaled Belts

Information about seat, It is constructed of 3/8 in high carbon steel for strength and durability, the seat has an exposed plywood bottom so attachments can be added without destroying upholstery. These seats are certified to 350lbs with a 100 percent over weight breaking point. The boat will not take that pressure and weight.

The bottom of the seat is designed to allow for attachments of support for the Bait ProPel’r, Oxygen tanks, heart monitoring equipment and other medical related attachments.

Electric Reel

We will release it for sale in April, 2010.   It will be powered from any 12 volt battery.   The reel is basically a Zebco 808 SW.  The motor turns at 16 rpm and the brake on the reel is set to allow a person moderate slippage for a larger fish. The unit has a safety switch to allow the unit to turn off if there is a line problem or if it retracts to the bobber. There is also a safety shutdown at the controls of the caregiver.

Toggle Control

                    Released in April 2010 Our electric reel and Bait Propel’r will be controlled by toggle switch controls.

Puff and Sip

Casting System

Bait Propel'r.  A casting system for those who can not move arms enough to cast. This will allow the individual who can not cast to be able to cast their bait with the aid of a caregiver without the caregiver doing the actual casting with the rod. This will be released for sale in April 2010.
