I purchased the ABS with rubber over mold handle not a bad little handline reel I first put on some 6 lb test it casted ok had a couple casting ridges took line off used 400 grit sandpaper smoothed it out put 6 lb on it wow what a caster all most a far as one of my spinning reels still can't do as far as the baitcasters but it's set up for bluegill fishing anytime I find a creek, drainage ditch, or pond if I'm on a exercise walk . Nice little rig for $10 bucks yes I recommend it fully I fish almost every day with rod & reel.

I just placed order for one of these from your website, cant wait to try it out, great price on shipping!

[@ozangler5642]

G'Day from Australia, I recall watching your handline fishing video called "Fishing with my Survival Kit" quite a few years ago. I enjoyed it very much and it lead me to a period of uncomplicated handline fishing before I went back to fly fishing. I think I might need to de-gear again and have a spell of handline fishing. I like those handcasters that you are producing and would like to buy one. Thanks for posting your videos and Cheers, Steve.

[@MerkWares]

You are very welcome Steve. I just sent you an email. I'll cover those shipping costs.

[@survivewithout]

Hi Mikhail thanks for the call and the update regarding to my order 👍

[@The_Heartless_Empath]

Wow dude. Looks like you're fishing in a Bob Ross painting!

[@eligranados9515]

Looks freaking GREAT

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

nice video. I had never been very convinced about handling fishing. but you may change my mind.

[@ViperSharp]

LOL, Let's try that ending over... then you left it all in. lol. That was fun.

[@3bears]

I am obscenely interested in this product! Hopefully you'll ship to the UK once the polymer version is up and running :)

[@MerkWares]

They most certainly will be shipped to the UK. Very soon I'm going to launch a kickstarter project pay for the molds.

[@mikkosaariniemi5779]

Definetly going to make one of those. Is there any special tackle i have to have or just line, a float and a hook?

[@phils8393]

I just ordered one of these , looking forward to when it arrives in Germany

[@MerkWares]

Thank you. I love to hear back how it is working for you.

[@suecollins3246]

That's a nice little trout!

[@dchosen6341]

I love these

[@GaiasPupil]

I like the design bro, will drop ya a sub

[@Masediurwantv]

Mantap 👍 iku pancingan kabuya ,di negara kami mungkin belum ada 🇮🇩

[@Duckhunter556]

I just bought one of these at the sportsman's xpo there awsome

[@MerkWares]

Thank you so much. Let me know how it works out for you. I'm going to launch my kickstarter campaign to fund the molded handlines in a week.

[@TheLionsDen72]

Hey Mikhail, How's it going my friend? I couldn't find the hand-lines on the site. If ya send me an invoice, I will def. get one. You know me, I want every piece of Merkware I can!! Hope all is well with the family and hope the baby is doing awesome!!! Talk to ya soon my friend. Scott

[@idriveajeed]

Would the polymer ones float in the water? And is Troy using a Streamlines casting handline?

[@MerkWares]

Not sure yet about the floating. Still working on manufacturing options. Yes, Troy is using a Streamlines. I used to sell them for Jack. He's passed the torch to me so to speak and is no longer making them. I used to modify his streamlines for my purposes so I've included those changes in the redesign.

[@mayo470]

GREAT video, as always. Circle hooks. No more swallows ;)

[@MerkWares]

I'm loving my circle hooks, they just take a bit of learning. It is still hard for me not to set the hook. The trout are so small and light that I getting gut hooks because I'm not sure there is fish on the line.

[@mayo470]

We have a lot of pan fish where I frequent, I got tired of cutting the line when they swallow the hook. I got tired and tried longer shanks, same result. I discovered the circle hooks and they're the greatest.

[@MerkWares]

any advice on how you like to bait them?

[@mayo470]

I mainly use nightcrawlers cut in thirds but I'm not really going for anything bigger than sunnies or bluegills. I don't keep anything I catch unless I'm fishing at the highest point in the area. I really just do it for the fun of it. If I am good to the fish, they are good to me. Check your FB inbox later today please, I ordered a handline set but your site was acting screwy--- I'll explain more, but for now I didn't want to ping you at 5 am and wake you up inadvertently. Thanks Mikhail.

[@MerkWares]

no worries, heading out on a hunt right now. I'll be around this afternoon. email me at mikhail at emberlit dot com. thanks for the heads up on the page. Eager to hear more.

[@321654987510]

looks pretty cool I would be down to get one of the polymer ones if I can find a distributor in Australia

[@MerkWares]

That would be awesome.... I'm going to try and do a kickstarter project to fund the molds for the polymer.

[@suecollins3246]

How would it be if you wound your line onto a good quality toilet roll holder and mounted the toilet roll holder into that handle thingy? Wouldn't you get a better cast?

[@MerkWares]

It would work, just be bulky. I used to just use a short stick I cut from a tree wrapped with line. I carved it into a little club and would use it to dispatch big fish after pulling them in.

[@Slumberjacksix]

Cool!

[@TimBucktooy]

What's the clear bobber that are you using?

[@MerkWares]

it's called an adjust 'a bobber. Made by Rainbow plastics. I can fill it with water and use it to cast. I really like casting bobbers like this.

[@TimBucktooy]

Thank you !!!

[@plutoplatters]

that thing is pretty dammmmmmmn cool.....

[@manjitrupbikram]

Great!Can we get them in India?

[@MerkWares]

Yes, check my website cabuyafishing.com

[@Certawin]

Nice lil tool. mind me asking what the price will be? Think I'll be picking one up.

[@MerkWares]

These wooden ones are $30 with free shipping. They are all being hand finished by me. :)

[@Certawin]

Thanks I'll look on the site soon.

[@RyanGr33n]

I wish you guys would make more videos 😢

[@MerkWares]

Will try, spring is coming.

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

what king of line are you using.

[@MerkWares]

Just 10lb mono. Braided lines do not cast well from handlines that I've found.

[@Calchick7]

Ours are walnut❤ that you made us

[@Trickydickysticky]

What weight line is recommended?

[@MerkWares]

I prefer 10lb mono. You'd be surprised by the size of fish you can catch if properly played. I'm working on a slightly larger setup that holds 20lb comfortably for ocean fishing.

[@Trickydickysticky]

@@MerkWares ive been using 6lb flourocarbon on my kabar backpack caster. I was thinking of upgrading to a synthetic one of these for the retrieval rate and flatter packing. Guess I'm gonna have to pull the trigger.

[@marvinsaucedo5446]

I want to buy one

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

Can somebody please tell me what brand type bobber he's using can't find it...

[@MerkWares]

Hi Jake, it is an "adjust a bubble" by rainbow plastics, now called double X tackle.

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

Thanks for response man I'm loving my hand line Fisher and I just ordered a titanium fire ant stove with my discount.. great products.

[@davidleasure9138]

When are the plastic reels coming

[@MerkWares]

WE just funded last night. So production on the molds is started. Probably looking at 6-8 weeks for deliver. Get on the kickstarter if you can to make sure you are part of the first batch.

[@MerkWares]

[@ShihabdeentheCyclist]

Can this be used in sea

[@MerkWares]

Yes, I use 10lb mono, but you can use up to about 20lb mono line comfortably. Of course, there are much larger fish in the sea.

[@monkeydluffy3749]

What is the wood for cabuya. ?

[@MerkWares]

The ones available now on the website are made from laminated bamboo and laminated maple.

[@monkeydluffy3749]

@@MerkWares thank.

[@tabrezpatel7510]

how buy dhis

[@MerkWares]

Very soon on my website. We've been sold out for a while, but I just put in an order for more.

[@kawikaakana4168]

Can you make for saltwater

[@MerkWares]

yes, will be working on it

[@plutoplatters]

make one twice the length and reel twice as fast....
