A water-resistant handline for paddlers and saltwater anglers

Originally used for boatbuilding, sapele is a naturally-water-resistant hardwood that makes this hand-line fishing kit perfect for kayakers, canoeists, and saltwater fishermen. Equally resistant to freshwater and saltwater, this hand-fishing kit can be completely submerged without losing its strength or smoothness. 

This handline is recommended for kayak fishing, canoe fishing, and saltwater fishing, and features:

  • A water-resistant sapele body with two tackle storage areas,
  • Lead-free tackle kit included,
  • 30 yards of low-memory monofilament line (8lb test),
  • Links to our Guide to Handline Fishing included inside.

About Sapele

A close cousin of mahogany, sapele features its same dark reddish brown color and beautiful grain, but with greater protection in harvesting, making it a more sustainable choice for fine woodworking. Its tight, interlocked grain makes it dense, durable, and naturally water-resistant, and it was historically used for fine instruments, furniture, and shipbuilding.

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.
