the difference is when it involves a "hook" and line, if its just hand lines it doesn't matter no license is needed and any clips used to hold the bait is NOT considered a hook unless you actually use a hook so I think they were just pulling your leg or they were just stupid

So you don't need license if you are using a handline?
