The hand line is a simple and effective tool for catching fish. Whether from shore or in a boat, the hand line can work as well As modern gear with just a little practice.

I live in a coastal town in England and fish off of my aging sit on top kayak using a handline. Many years ago I'd go with my neighbour's kids down to the beach and either take them out or let them have a go on their own - the yak is a tandem Ocean Kayak Malibu. The littlest, Sally aged 6, had seen people fishing with rods from the nearby stone jetty and wanted to have a go so, during the mackerel season, we took out the yak and a couple of yo-yos rigged with feathers - we usually use a set up of six feathered hooks in a line for mackerel over here. We went out on an in coming tide that will bring fish into the bay to feed. Sally dropped her line over the side and jigged it up and down while I kept the yak on station. Suddenly she called out "The water's trying to pull me in!" On retrieving the line we found five decent sized mackerel on the first cast. We caught a dozen in all and headed back towards the jetty where Sally proudly showed off her catch to the rod anglers who'd hardly got a bite: "We got fishes!" Sally is all grown up now and got married last summer. As well as her "proper" wedding present I made up a yo-yo with mackerel feathers and decorated with a ribbon bow. After the honeymoon she sent me a thank you card which said: BEST WEDDING PRESENT EVER!

Watched your video before i bought a handreel a while back, great video. I have a cheap $7 6" Yo-Yo handlreel & a hefty $50 3-1/2" Yoyito handreel. The Yoyito is my favorite & its all i ever use.. unless i go Salmon & Steelhead fishing in the Salmon River in NY then ill use a rod & reel. Though I intend to attempt catching Steelhead & Salmon on the Yo-Yo with a fly setup this year! Fly Line casts better on my speciffic Yo-Yo & its easier on the hands with the bigger fish. With the small Yoyito ive caught Rainbow Trout & Crappies from land, Small Mouth Bass & a few decent sized Large Mouth Bass from both land & kayak, & the largest so far was a 19" Pickerel from land. I use braid on the Yoyito & depending on the fish im trying to catch, I'll attatch a swivel & a couple feet of fluoro or mono. I usually reel in exactly how you do in the video, but come to find it easier when i do hook into a fish, to drop the reel & use 2 hands pulling in the fish. It sometimes causes some tangling in my line but have more control of the fish. However you do it you gotta love the simplicity of handlining!!

Thanks. I am going to try hand line fishing soon, I am happy that I found your video. Is it always advisable to add weight? When you used the yoyo in this video, there was no need to add weight because the lure is heavy enough?

I use the yoyo for a ton of stuff all year long in minnesota. I've caught big flathead on the st croix, sturgeon on rainy river, and I prefer them all winter for ice fishing. With a 6" hole I can set it like a tip up, and watch it turning when I have a take. For ice fishing lake trout I use a yoyo spooled with 30lb suffix 832 on lakesuperior or in the boundary waters. I keep a small shot of paranoid with mine for et line fishing on the st croix. Run the paranoid through the middle then clip the carabiner to the ends of the paranormal forming a loop. Hang from a branch. Your reel moves a couple feet when you get a take, and can freeline itself until you get there to set the hook.

Hey Man great video. Im New to hand line fishing im and im not sure what Line i should use. Braid or mono? And what Strength of Line? Have any suggestions? Im fishing bass
@Rewildminnesota3 жыл бұрын
I think that with a hand line braided line works better. It’s more flexible and a little heavier. I use braided 20 lb. test, and then if I’m fishing for pan fish or something smaller, I add a 6-8’ leader of light monofilament

Does it hurt your hand to reel it in when you have a fish on the line? Would you reel it in the same way?
@baptistedavid324 жыл бұрын
Rachel urick it dont hurt your hand reeling fish only problem I have with it u need a finger guard on your index finger because the nylon does get stuck in the crease of the index finger and cut into your finger
@shanbentz6492 жыл бұрын
In my experience, if you've got a big fish on the line, it pays to just drop the reel and take the line in hand over hand and sort the line out afterwards. In this regard, choice of line is well worth careful consideration. Please learn from my experience that bringing in a very 'fighty' fish is hard on the hands when you've got the thing on braided line. It can feel like you're wrestling a possessed cheese cutter.

It'll cast further, but it'll also sink faster.

Yes - I just checked your profile - it says 'No content'. So when you have one _and_ can catch fish in it, let us know.
