    I know what they call it in Norway, but not in English and where can I get one?

    Over here we would call them a handline or hand jig.

    Most coastal town hardware stores should have them.

    Invariably they are plastic and I have never seen one in Ireland finished off in the above timber.

    In my opinion they always seemed to be the poor mans version of a rod.:p

    Yeah, hardly a rod is it?!:D

    All they're good for really is for catching mackerel for bait, otherwise it's crane driving rather than fishing.....

    As the man says - completely illegal in any fresh water. Only allowed method is rod and line.

    Imagine the damage you'd do to a pike/perch/salmon of any size trying to bank it with that method, (and probably your hand too.)
