Handlining is a simple and beautiful alternative to rod-and-reel fishing that lets us travel lightly without being burdened by gear. Daggerfish Handreels combine a rod, reel, and tackle box into one handcrafted package that fits easily into a backpack. These ultra light fishing reels have no moving parts - simply tie on a lure, cast out by hand, and reel back in by hand. Easy to learn, convenient to carry, and great for backcountry excursions, Daggerfish Handreels are perfect tools for first-time fishermen and experienced anglers alike. This Sugar Maple Handline is our recommended entrypoint for hand line fishing. It's hard, dense maple wood is robust enough to take a beating and keep on fishing, making it perfect for new handliners and younger anglers.
