[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 410925, member: 20605"] Yes you got it!! Actually its an antique handlining reel. Handlining is popular for walleye here on the Detroit River. Its a deep fast river . You hook a 1-2 lb weight to the wire line, the spool is spring loaded to take the wire in and let it out. Off the wire, between the snap and weight, there is what is called a "shank" this is another piece of wire about 3ft long with clevises every 6 in or so. You clip mono leaders to this and then use a shallow diving plug to slowly troll against the current bumping bottom as you go. I will get some pics of the inside of the box. [/QUOTE]
