Hand line modification

[Guest Guest123456789]

Pretty happy with this one. Standard hand line with a release clip attached. I just drilled a small hole and attached the live bait release clip to some 100lbs mono. 

Can get the bait up off the bottom and have some drag applied to set the hook. Important because some areas i fish for tailor have snaggy bottoms and I like to leave the hand line on the gunwale with the gaff pole in place while I attend to other matters. Also good as I don't need another rod on the boat taking up space.
