The Hobo Handliner

The Hobo Handliner

A channel based on minimal style fishing without rods, reels, or moving components. Chasing bass, trout, and everything in between. If it fits in a small bag, and doesn’t weigh me down, count me in!

All you need is a hand reel to catch fish like the rest of them! A splash of bushcraft and survival on the side as well. Sometimes my dog tags along for the ride.

Hope you guys enjoy my non traditional fishing content, and be sure to check out Daggerfish Gear, my sponsor as well!

    What do you keep in your tackle box for pan fishing?

  • @thehobohandliner
    @thehobohandlinerКүн бұрын

    Small bait holder hooks, split-shot, floats, etc. Usually if I am targeting panfish, I prefer a float rig

    No fishing rod, doesn’t wet the line when tying knots, and he is using a spoon. I bet this guy has a hard time fishing.

  • @thehobohandliner
    @thehobohandliner9 күн бұрын

    I would guess on a yoyo that line memory wont be too bad since its a fairly large diameter reel. Its not too bad on my hobo reels, and They’re a pretty small diameter.
