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.
