HANDLINE... aka traditional, ghetto, yo-yo, old school, or whatever

How do you cast a hand line? Hopefully easier than throwing a cast net.

The other way around 

Practice, practice, practice

I will report back on how well it gets bait

Please... that will save me the hassle of the sabiki rod on my yak

Hey, these guys upped their prices by about $5 bucks each since 2 days ago... Guess that's what NCKA hits to their website does, i knew i should have ordered one on Tuesday!   

Free enterprise, man!

Now using one off these must be a trip on a big fish trying to not put too much pressure.

I got mine from the website above....

It's kinda poor quality.  Poplar isn't the best choice of wood, imo.  Nowhere near the quality of yours, Lino.  But it will work, i think!

Spooled it with a 120lb mono last night, dreaming of playing tug of war...

Yeah I agree kinda crappy but workable....the finish isn't applied very well

Are you able to one EWB?  Seem to remember you had a lathe?

For those who haven't handled it, the beauty if Lino's spool is there is no finish and it's sanded very smooth.

The 20 dollar yo-yos have a thick, sticky finish, (right, EWB)?

I just need to find the right kinda wood...I am already dreamin' maybe by Albion

Teak would be a good choice...  but any hardwood should work, I think.

hard to find an 8-9" x 2" block....I may try and laminate some up and give it a shot. I need to work on my bowl turning skills. End grain 'aint easy to turn

Hey Eric, did you get the Dublin wood shop info I sent you? They may have the kinds of wood for this application.

Anyone have a teenager enrolled in woodshop?

me or Ericb. If you mean me I never got it.

Yeah eric the finish some sort of poly and poorly applied. Mine has some dust and other stuff stuck to it. I would think a oil (like tung or teak) may be best. I have a paddle that I made and I just need to finish it. I also want to try and make a SUP paddle.

i started my i got some red hard wood 12x12x1 and am gluing them together, i will probably turn it u p at work on the lathe, i will let you know how goes it. james
