An in-line spinner on a bamboo pole with no reel. Walked along the seawall at my parents old lake place and caught tons of bluegill, sunfish and what we called striped bass (I found out much later that they were actually white bass).

I fished my '60s vintage River Runt a few days ago. I got back from fishing that day and did a web search and was surprised to learn that they were discontinued nearly 20 years ago !

I call that "bank trolling" - done it myself (and still do on occasion!).
