The other end ran through a tube in the arm and came out just below the elbow. The hand was then attached to the arm with a small band of material. This gave me a lot of control on the movement of the hand. It has held up very well after 5 years of constant use. Also the rod is a little less noticeable. I only use one rod and the other hand is attached using fishing line, by careful manipulation I can give movement to the static hand.
