A casting handle with a trigger includes a grip area section disposed behind the trigger, a rear section disposed in the rear of the grip area section, and a small-diameter intermediate section interposed between the grip area section and the rear section. The grip area section is expanded both vertically and laterally. The rear section has a vertical height less than the corresponding height of the grip area section. This forms a flat upper surface positioned sufficiently rearward with respect to the grip area section that the wrist of an angler's hand holding the casting handle does not interfere with the casting motion. The constricted cross-section, intermediate section has a lateral width and a vertical height respectively less than the corresponding width and height of the rear section. Consequently, the casting handle allows smooth casting, thumbing and pumping operations as well as improving the angler's ability to operate the fishing rod.
