At a saltwater pier in San Diego,

I watched an elderly Chinese fellow fishing mackerel from a pier in San Diego. He had three rods, a chair and a clever idea. Two rods were set in rod holders that attached to the rails of the pier and were set up near the chair, the third rod also had a holder, but was attached some fifteen feet away. After baiting the three hooks and lowering them halfway to the bottom, he walked back to the distant rod and reached in his jacket pocket. He had a paper clip tied onto a coil of mason's twine. He slipped the line of the rod into the clip which was between the reel and the first eye on the rod, uncoiling the twine as he walked back to the chair, tying the twine to the railing and sitting. When he got a bite on the distant rod, he simply yanked the twine and set the hook. He caught more fish that day than anyone else.

Pappy always said, "Boy, you'll catch more fish if you'll keep that hook in the water, and not flying thru the air so often.

And from my own personal experience, I will offer these words of wisdom....."Make sure the lid is shut on your Prince Albert can, or all the grasshoppers will escape".

Ok, the guy took a paper clip and tied a length of string to it. Then, he clipped the paper clip onto his fishing line between the reel and the first rod guide. With the reel spool engaged, he could yank on the string to set the hook.
Here's a word picture:
Reel, line, and first line guide

Red devil spoons, booters and broken rod tips. Dad took all 7 of us kids bank fishing in the brokenhead river. The one and only time we all fished together, no one had a clue or any experiance at fishing. We caught pike and had to use sticks to open there yaps to get the hooks back. Thanks for this thread as my Dad is long time gone but not forgotten.
