Flat Reel

Of anything, I can hammer on the shipping of this first and foremost - it was LIGHTNING fast. The product itself is of reasonably good construction, and I've given it plenty of tests using weights of varying size, in this, it seems sturdy. Now, of course, its illegal to use this in my state unless in an emergency situation, so a field test is out of the question for me (even if I did test it, admission of guilt is admissible in a court of law) but for the strains I've put it through with just my weight testing, seems decent. It has little trouble with anything up to about 8 lbs. Anything more than that and I wasn't sure how it would handle it, so I stayed away in order to keep it in tact and play it safe. Do I think it would handle more? Possibly, but I'll leave that gamble up to someone else. The Price was right, the shipping was damn quick, and the product is sturdy. What more does one need?

At first I got this for the novelty of it. But after it landed me a couple of cats - I am digging it! Definitely great to use for those lazy crack-a-couple-of-bottles days, and as a side means during normal days (who can complain about landing more fish at the end of the day?).

Now this little fishing reel is really interesting. I have not used it yet but I have played with it and it works. I found it on youtube and many show it's use and function on there. Good videos by the way. I like the mini size of it and for my bug out bag, for emergencies, you never know, well you can catch and eat fish. I am not a fan of fish only fish sticks. lolo But it beats bugs for last resort. I can see using this just for fun as well but my purchase was for my bug out bag for emergencies.

I like these little gadgets. They are made of light weight metal. And can easily be damaged if you throw them around. But if you keep that in mind they will be fine. The kids will love them. Hang them from trees around the water or off the edge of a dock. I am going to buy a few more to put in with my camping gear. Not really for real big fish. But they will definitely feed you. Great for pan fish. 5 stars because they actually catch fish. Just bait them using smaller hooks. And bait that is not too easily picked off and they will catch fish for you.

This product came to my doorstep in a couple short days. I have used these several times in the swamp and they work great. I am pleased

I bought these for use just in case of an emergency. I haven't used the product yet. I used these type of gizmos when I was a teenager, 50 years ago. They worked then. They aren't legal for use in the state that I currently live in, but I wanted to have some just in case of an emergency if I became stranded somewhere (in another state of course) and needed food. They are pretty much something that you can set and return later to check on. (They are on auto-pilot while you aren't there.)

This product has proved itself as an incredible gadget to put in a backpack while trekking or a pocket while on a fishing trip. The fishing yo yo is very easy to set up and my family and I have had much success catching plenty of bluegill from the bank at our local lake. Perfect for a backpacker who needs a lightweight and VERY efficient way to procure food.
