about handline fishing
The basic concept of the handline is very simple. To cast your lure
end swing it around like a lasso. You release it and the line unspools
from the reel. To retrieve the lure you wind the line back onto the reel.
The beginner can pick up the handline, and after a few practice trys can
toss a lure a good distance and reel it back in competently. With the handline,
just as with playing a musical instrument, you continually improve. The
way you cast, retrieve, play a fish all are improved with practice and
experience.
1. Its patented improvements make it the best handline in the world
today.
2. It is a great backup for standard fishing tackle and you can use it
to catch bait.
3. Requires no care and it won't break down.
4. Weighs less than 3 ounces; perfect for backpacking.
5. Fits in a pocket, a glove box, or a brief case; anytime fish are biting you are ready.
6. It is a challenge that continues with use; the more you use
it the better you become and the more you become aware that there is more
to handline fishing than meets the eye.
Where can you use it, who can use it, and what can you
catch?
The Streamlines handline has been used in lakes, rivers, streams,and
farm ponds. It has been used for fishing from the shoreline, from piers,and
from a variety of water craft. It has been used by eight year children
and sixty year old grandparents and ages in between. It has been used by
avid outdoorsmen and professional fishermen. It has caught fish including
sardines, bluegill, large mouth bass, ocean perch, blue runner, Spanish
mackeral, snook, trout, ladyfish, jack crevelle, corbina, corvina, a variety
of kelp and rock fish, and one salmon in Alaska.
Use any kind of bait or lure that you would with conventional rod and
reels. The Streamlines handline has been used with all kinds of
cut bait, live bait, spoons, feathered jigs, salmon eggs, and dry and wet
tied flies. Heavier lures, such as the Kastmaster lures work well because
with their weight they easily cast long distances.
"We had your handline along on a high Sierra trek. It works great.
We ate trout every night. It sure was a lot less hassle than conventional
tackle. The only complaint was that we only had one."
Matthew Lloyd, San Luis Obispo, California
