ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A rotatable mechanism for reversibly attaching an extension onto the end of a long member is described; in the example a flange extension to go under a fisherperson's forearm and bear the weight of a rod or a net (with or without attached fish) is attached to a rod or net handle. In one embodiment, splines run on the outside of a shaft affixed previously to the handle, and co-operate with splines on the inside surface of a cylindrical hole in the flange extension. A screw inserted through the extension and threaded into a hole in the end of the handle prevents longitudinal separation between the handle and extension, and the splines prevent rotational movement. In cases where the handle needs to be rotated, such as a reel designed to hang down instead of up, the screw is released, the extension disengaged, rotated, reinserted, and the screw is inserted and tightened. A second embodiment describes a simple screw-on clamp to achieve the same function. The rotatable handle and extension also permit easy adjustment to comfortably accommodate right- or left-handed fishermen.
