handlines
Hand-held fishing cords
Handlines are fishing lines operated by hand rather than with a rod and reel.
The angler holds the line directly, feeling for bites and pulling in catches manually.
This simple method works from boats, docks, or shore, and remains common in subsistence and small-scale commercial fishing: They caught cod using traditional handlines.
