I took a kids pool I know everyone likes the handline idea, but for myself, having plenty of rods and a reels, it just feels easier to take a broken rod, a simple casting reel spooled with dacron and troll from a traditional rod holder. Speckled trout seem to be most volunerable to this in our gulf coast bay system. Drag a large mullet imitation mirrorlure or whatever. I've had trouble in the past with oyster shell cutting standard mono, so I now use a heavy leader on the end. But otherwise its just a normal casting rig.
