Handline Reels

nice.. as kids we used the old coke bottles-with the hourglass shape
also reminds me of the 48lb yellowfin tuna i landed hand lining in the philippines..intersting technique, they baited a sardine on the hook,
used a rock for the weight together with 3-4 other sardines rigged with a slip knot so that if you jerk on the line(after you reach the desired depth), the rock falls out and your bait and the rest of the sardines are free floating like a school fo fish..then letting the current take your line...we landed 2 jumbos

That video is bad ass 

Time to handline a sturgeon!

Handline inspiration, you might want to watch on mute as the soundtrack is ridiculous.

Awesome video.  Thanks Supervato.  I've been looking for video just like that for some time just to watch how it's done.  Great inspiration indeed.  I have a handline just like that and I'm looking forward to landing something big with it.

Damn.  Still gotta finish the one I started months ago.  It still sits lonely by the lathe.
