What is claimed is: 1. A device for coupling to a fishing rod, said device comprising: a handle, the handle comprising: a member comprising a pair of semi-cylindrical clamping device portions defining therebetween a substantially cylindrical aperture for receiving a reel seat of a rod, said pair of clamping device portions being coupled to each other by at least one fastener extending through both of said pair of clamping device portions, a coupling device for receiving a wrist strap, said coupling device comprising a loop extending outwardly from a periphery of said member, and an arm having a first end at said member and extending from the member to a second end comprising a grip for receiving one or more digits of a user's hand; and a wrist strap coupled to the coupling device for preventing a wrist of a user from opening more than a desired amount, said wrist strap having a first end with a loop, a second end, a cord with a first end attached to the wrist strap and a second end with a reciprocal coupling device for releasably coupling to the coupling device of the member. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the arm is disposed at a selected angle relative to the member. 3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the grip comprises one or more curved portions for receiving one or more digits of a user's hand. 4. The device according to claim 3, wherein the grip further comprises an indentation for receiving an additional digit of a user's hand. 5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the member includes a curved portion for conforming to the hip and/or thigh area of a user. 6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the arm extends from the member in a first direction for a first selected distance and thereafter extends in a second direction for a second selected distance. 7. A method for casting a fishing rod, comprising the steps of: providing the device for coupling to a fishing rod of claim 1; coupling the handle to a fishing rod; and, coupling the handle to a user with the wrist strap; wherein the user casts the rod using the handle and desired movements are repetitively made.
