HOBO HAND FISHING LINE

MADE BY ALAN FINLAY

It is an upgrade on a model I used when Island Hopping
by canoe in the Outer Hebrides

And since then I have used this design for stream fishing, for game fish,
loch fishing for course fish

I have reduced its size and weight

This particular one weighs about 6oz

and measures approx

7" long X 2" wide (180mm long X 50mm wide)

As you can see from the pictures the rear portion of the handle is brass threaded

when unscrewed and retracted it has a blade mounted, this is more

than adequate for all your fishing needs such as cutting bait, line, gutting, whittling floats etc

It is razor sharp 17 degree angle and hardened to the high 60's on the Rockwell And should never need

any sharpening for many years

The front nose cone unscrews,

This front chamber
holds your bits and pieces, lures, weights, hooks etc

 

This unit also comes with a New 100 metre spool of quality line, which is more than adequate
for larger fish, you could use a light leader for stream fishing where fish are cautious and small

Also included is a small starter kit in which there will be lures, hooks, shot, swivels etc
items may differ from time to time 

It will bring many a quiet hour of relaxation by your favourite stream

And many a full stomach with the fish you will catch

This product is an extremely versatile and useful piece of kit

 You have the choice of
