Handline Set Up

[floete]

i've been trying to find a better handline as well -- something to carry with me on my surfing kayak, when I can't carry anything big. here are some of thing things i've found (only one of which is really suitable for me):

this is the streamlines handline, the smallest available, professionally made, comes with instructions; but maybe it's only good for ponds and streams: www.streamlines.com

this is a do-it-yourself handline for bigger lures. maybe this is exactly what you're looking for: www.hadfield.ca/Gear/spool.html

do a google search under "cuban reel" and you'll find some interesting things. the one cuban reel i know of is made by jeros and you can get em at most wellstocked tackle shops, i think.

finally, this isn't a handline but an updated version of the Pocket Fisherman. I include it here only because it's so weird and great, both at the same time: http://www.emmrod.com

if anyone else has any thoughts, please post em.

I dont know where I saw the pics... maybe here?
people lined up along the beach all with handlines.
they had stripers and/or blues on the sands beside them.
