Beautiful!

I smiled when I saw the box, and gasp when I opened it! The packaging was spot on and the presentation of the product is just the little touch that shows off the craftmanship and simple design of the product! Well done!

Another beautiful reel

I was using a plastic reel for saltwater hand lining before Daggerfish offered this sapele reel. This reel looks and works great. After 2 saltwater trips I see no change to the wood. Still smells great too.

Excellent USA Made Handline

Very happy with the handline. Purchased three more for friends as gifts. Light weight and easy to use. Videos on the Daggerfish site were very helpful.

About Figured Maple

A natural result of varying conditions during growth, figuring is a rare effect that occurs across many wood species. "Figuring" is a general term for a variety of grain patterns, including tiger striping, birds-eye speckling, complex swirls in burls, and the shimmering effect called chatoyance. Because these patterns are rare and unpredictable, each Figured Maple handreel is unique, and only a limited number of reels are available.

About Handline Fishing

Handcrafted for a Different Style of Fishing

Daggerfish Handreels are backpack fishing kits that combine a rod, reel, and tackle box into one handcrafted package.

Designed for a simple style of fishing called handlining, these ultra light fishing reels have no moving parts - simply tie on a lure, cast out by hand, and reel back in by hand. 

Easy to learn, convenient to carry, and great for backcountry excursions, Daggerfish Handreels are perfect tools for first-timer fishermen and experienced anglers alike.

A Complete Portable Fishing Kit

Hollow storage areas inside each reel include the hooks, line, sinkers and lures you need to catch a wild trout. 

Each reel weighs less than 4 oz (110 grams) and meets TSA requirements for carry-on bags, making them the perfect compact fishing kit for campers, backpackers, and travelers.

Whether you’re tossing it into your luggage, backpack, kayak or glove box, the Daggerfish can help you turn any trip into a fishing trip.

Handmade in America, Guaranteed for a Lifetime

Made from solid domestic hardwoods, natural cork, and lead-free tackle, each Daggerfish is hand-turned, sanded, finished and packed by individual craftsmen in our Pennsylvania workshop.

Every order bears a signature of approval, and all of our products are backed by our For a Lifetime Guarantee: if anything goes wrong, we'll fix it or replace it.
