Abstract
A longline fishing system which is attached to a fishing boat for the purpose of lessening wear and ear on the fishing line has an improved reel and an auxiliary hauler. The reel is made from a plurality of arcuate sections forming a core. End plates are attached to each end of the core. The diameter of the core and the diameter of the end plates are related to prevent over stressing the line. The auxiliary hauler is placed between the stern and the reel to accept a portion of the hauling load.
