A wooden handline spool wrapped with clear green fishing line, used for catching mackerel and cod.
The spool consists of two parallel wooden slats connected by crossbars, forming a rectangular frame. The fishing line is wound tightly around the center, with a metal swivel and red-painted clip attached to one end for securing a hook or lure.
The wood shows signs of heavy use and salt exposure, with white calcified deposits and rust stains near the nails.
