Handles, apparatus devices, and methods for clamping and using an extra handle onto fishing rods that provides enhanced leverage while holding the existing elongated handle on the rod between clamps on the extra handle, as well as being used for carrying the rod before and after it is being used. The extra handle has bent member between two clamp ends with an inner generally wide flat smooth face, and lower and upper smooth perimeter edge surfaces, that provide a comfortable surface against the back of the hand of the fisherman and helps provide leverage to the fisherman while fishing with the rod and carrying the rod before and after use.

1. An attachable handle for fishing rods, comprising: a first clamp;a second clamp;a first stem portion extending upward perpendicular from the first clamp;a second stem portion extending upward perpendicular from the second clamp, and in a top view the first stem portion of the first clamp and the second stem portion of the second clamp form a longitudinal center line between one another; andan elongated bent member between an upper end of the first stem portion and an upper end of the second stem portion, the elongated bent member having a lower smooth contiguous edge between the first stem portion and the second stem portion, and the bent member having an upper smooth contiguous edge between the first stem portion and the second stem portion, the bent member continuously bending in one direction along a front side face between the first stem portion and the second stem portion, the bent member is bent sideways at a first angle to the perpendicular first stem portion and at a second angle to the perpendicular second stem portion so the bent member is not directly over the longitudinal center line formed between the first stem portion and the second stem portion, wherein the first clamp and the second clamp are attachable about an existing elongated handle on a fishing rod, wherein the bent member with the continuously bending front side face between the first stem portion and the second stem portion, is adaptable to allow a hand of a fisherman to have greater leverage and a comfortable fit when gripping the elongated handle on the fishing rod, and in the top view the first stem portion and the second stem portion overlap with the longitudinal center line between the first clamp and the second clamp, wherein the elongated bent member curves to one side away from the longitudinal center line. 2. The attachable handle of claim 1, wherein the second angle is larger than the first angle. 3. The attachable handle of claim 1, wherein the first clamp and the second clamp, each include an upper member and a lower member, and fasteners for attaching the second upper member and the second lower member of the second clamp to each other, the first fasteners and the second fasteners being selected from screws and bolts. 4. The attachable handle of claim 1, wherein the first stem and the second stem each include a generally flat front face surface and a generally flat rear face surface. 5. The attachable handle of claim 1, wherein the second stem portion has a length longer than the first stem portion. 6. The attachable handle of claim 5, wherein the bent member has a first inner concave surface and a second inner concave surface with the lower smooth edge on the bent member attached therebetween. 7. The attachable handle of claim 1, further comprising: a first convex outer curved perimeter surface between the upper end of the first stem portion and the bent member; anda second convex curved perimeter surface between the upper end of the second stem portion and the bent member. 8. The attachable handle of claim 7, wherein the second convex curved perimeter surface has a larger angle than the first convex curved perimeter surface. 9. The attachable handle of claim 1, wherein attachable handle has a length of approximately 6.75 inches between the first clamp and the second clamp. 10. The attachable handle of claim 1, wherein the first clamp, the second clamp, the first stem portion, the second stem portion, and the bent member are formed from a single piece of plastic. 11. A method for using a handle with a fishing rod, comprising the steps of: providing a fishing rod with a reel attached to the rod, and a rearwardly extending straight handle;providing a first clamp with a first stem portion extending upward perpendicular from the first clamp;providing a second clamp with a second stem portion extending perpendicular upward from the second clamp, wherein in a top view the first stem portion of the first clamp and the second stem portion of the second clamp forming a longitudinal straight line with one another;providing an elongated bent member between an upper end of the first stem portion and an upper end of the second stem portion, the elongated bent member having a lower smooth perimeter edge between the first stem portion and the second stem portion, and the elongated bent member having an upper smooth perimeter edge between the first stem portion and the second stem portion, the elongated bent member is bent sideways at a first angle to the perpendicular first stem portion and at a second angle to the perpendicular second stem portion so that the bent member is not directly over the longitudinal straight line formed between the first clamp and the second clamp;clamping the first clamp and the second clamp about the rearwardly extending straight handle of the fishing rod; andgripping a portion of the handle end of the fishing rod between the first clamp and the second clamp to increase leverage while fishing with the fishing rod;providing the bent member with a continuous bend in one direction along the front side face between the first stem portion and the second stem portion;attaching the first clamp and the second clamp about an existing straight elongated handle on a fishing rod, wherein the bent member with the continuously bending front side face between the first stem portion and the second stem portion, is adaptable to allow a hand of a fisherman to have greater leverage and a comfortable fit when gripping the elongated handle on the fishing rod, and in the top view the first stem portion and the second stem portion overlap with the longitudinal straight line between the first clamp and the second clamp, wherein the elongated bent member curves to one side away from the longitudinal straight line. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the second angle being larger than the first angle. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the clamping step includes the steps of: providing the first clamp and the second clamp with an upper member and a lower member; andproviding fasteners for attaching each upper member to each lower member. 14. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of: providing the second stem portion with a longer length than the first stem portion. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising the steps of: providing the bent member with a first inner concave surface and a second inner concave surface with the lower smooth edge on the bent member attached therebetween. 16. The method of claim 11, further comprising the steps of: providing a first convex outer curved perimeter surface between the upper end of the first stem portion and the flat bent member; andproviding a second convex outer curved perimeter surface between the upper end of the second stem portion and the bent member. 17.
