About this product
A good-quality hand line for crabs and small fish. It comes with booms, a weight and hooks, so you just add bait.
The hooks are sharp, so it's the line for older children, used with an adult. Bait the hooks carefully. For younger children, our hand line with a net bag has no hooks.
Bait isn't included. Always supervise children near water, check the tides and local rules, and return crabs gently after a look.
Crabs and small fishThe hooks catch small fish as well as crabs.

Did the job on a short coastal session.Good with a note
The setup worked, though one part felt more basic than I expected. It did enough for a casual trip, but I would not call it a standout.Arrived quick
I nearly forgot to review them, but they have been useful enough to mention. The line and hook setup felt simple enough for a quick harbour stop.Looks good
This was a bit of a whim order and glad I did. I nearly forgot to review them, but they have been useful enough to mention.brill
Good hooks for a relaxed harbour trip.Better than the more expensive one I had before, and the delivery was really quick too
Ordered these for my sister because she loves anything costal. She liked them more than I thought to be honest. I nearly forgot to review them, but they have been useful enough to mention. The line and hook setup felt simple enough for a quick harbour stop.Spot on
