Talk: Make a Gorge Hook + Handline (Fishing Tool)

Tech Level 1

Last edited · eee5c19 · tewelde

Purpose

Discussion for improving the gorge hook + handline article (better knots, fish behavior notes, and region-neutral material choices).

Open questions

  • What is the best simple lashing/knot description that works for beginners without naming knots?
  • Which bait recommendations are most universal (worms/insects) without assuming access to other tools?

Proposed improvements

  • Add a “fish size” table: gorge size vs line thickness vs bait size.
  • Add a short “where to fish” section that focuses on water movement and cover, not species.

Decisions

  • None yet.
