There’s nothing quite like a day out on the lake. Fishing rod in one hand, beer in the other. But modern fishing gear often feels a little too high-tech for the bucolic scene I’m trying to set. If you’re looking for a more rustic way to catch your fish, check out Daggerfish’s hand-crafted Handreel. This beautiful traditional handreel was carved from a single black walnut tree in western Pennsylvania. Its slender but weighty design should feel relatively natural when sitting by the lake casting out for some fish. Plus, the handreel comes with a lead-free tackle kit that includes 30 yards of 6 lb fishing line, hooks, sinkers, rubber grubs, and a Trout Magnet float. Hit the general store for some bait and park yourself along the water for a carefree afternoon of fishing.
