Notes on the construction of the FAO wooden fishing reel
(1985)

by Hamish McKenzie et al.

The simple wooden handreel presented in this handbook was developed in 1976 for deep bottom dropline fishing by the FAO/DANIDA* Village Fisheries Project in Western Samoa, and later adopted by the South Pacific Commission (SPC) Deep Sea Fisheries Development (DSFD) Project.

The reel proved to be an effective and versatile fishing tool and its use for both trolling and droplining was promoted throughout the Pacific Islands by the DSFD project and by an increasing number of fisheries services. Its low cost, simple design, and the ease with which it can be constructed and repaired using simple equipment and locally available materials make it ideal for use by village fishermen.
