Hi John,
Re: hand lines, it all depends on what you want to catch?
If its just a couple of mackerel, pollack which are great table fish then a simple hand line would suffice, i have rods (beach, boat, pier, kayak types) but i kinda like using handlines for their simplicity and space saving nature.
They are very easy to make and cheap too, there are so many different types on youtube, i use a modified kite handle winder with 15lb mono and a 5oz lead weight and yes feathers tend to work pretty well from June - August which means less needs for smelly / messy baits
Hope this helps and good luck
