People Wherever you find them, seem to fish by lots of different methods. No rod, no reel, no problem. Bottle, beer can, any kind of a can, makes a "rig".
...Example. A beer can, is easely made into a "spinning" reel. Ive seen fishing line, string of all types, wrapped around cans. A hook, af any type, w/foil, colored plastic, ANYTHING w/color or "shine" to it, hung/wrapped, around a hook etc., used for lure/bait. Rocks, nuts, ([:D]), anything of appropriate size, wrapped in cloth, plastic sac, tied on, for a "weight".
...Tie the line to the can. Wrap the line/string, evenly around the body of the can, with "lure/bait" attached. Hold the line w/your thumb, and cast the "rig" w/a half sidearm, half "pitching" motion, letting the "lure/bait" loose from under your thumb. The line spools off the can like line off a spinning reel. Retrieve, work the bait/lure with free hand, wrapping the retrieved line, back around the can. This type of "rig", is very efficient, in the right hands, and CHEAP too! A bottle, works in same way as a can.
...LOTS of methods used to fish, and I know that these people, considering geographical disspertion, have/had KNOW way to communicate these methods,...just good old human need to EAT, made it happen...
