Abstract
A fishing rod handle of variable circumference permits adjustment to fit the hand size of an individual user and retains that size until again readjusted to a different circumference. A plurality of individual longitudinal spreaders are arranged circumferentially around the handle. Axially applied screw-action forces the individual spreaders to spread of bend outward. A resilient covering over the spreaders may be proved to lend a smooth surface to the handle at various possible circumferences.
