No reels, just a line tied to the thin end, and you would use bait like worms or crickets. Catch bream (sunfish) and other panfish like white perch, crappies, etc.. It was actually a lot of fun and a good way to take a kid fishing.
I could see this type of fishing in NH, and also tossing out drop lines.
But unfortunately, even with such a law, if you pick up a regular rod and reel, you better have the license or be ready to pay the fine if you get caught.

UpThesaukee says it so well...
Hi Dave, reminds me when I used to take just some old bread, a string and some hooks down to the waters edge on Cape Breton Island, NS as a lad... As fast as I could ball up some bread to bate the hook, toss her in, I'd have a keeper... They "Want no sardines either!"
GameFeesh heaven!
Some life long friends have done very well fishing for Bluefin tuna off the New England coast as well!
