(outside) and hemp cord spear, called nodamawogan in
Abenaki, was used throughout the Northeast. Its design
made catching walleye-sized fish easier than a trident. |

Slate fishing reel, rawhide and sinew
line, and bone hook
Historic replica
This early hand reel was soaked for hours to make the
line flexible enough to tie a sinker to it. Then it was
baited and dropped overboard to catch a deep water
fish—the original pocket fisherman! |
