Aluminum Hand Line Reel Pocket/Travel Fishing Kit (30 lb Clear line)

So I bought this on my way out of town to a family trip to northwest Florida. So many trips before, I would pack all my fishing gear and had the highest of hopes to wet a line while out on the beach. By the time I got the family eZ up pitched and everyone’s gear down to the beach, the thot of setting up my fishing stuff, lost its appeal. The Yoyito was perfect for me. I threw it in the beach bag and waded into the surf with a few strips of fish bites hooked up to a hi lo rig and a 1oz sinker. Once I was waist deep, I began to get the knack of a good cast. Being a lefty, I rewound it for a southpaw. After that, casting was effortless and I was consistently making 30-40 yard casts. Within minutes, I was getting nibbles and them a taker. I quickly wound the line up and Violá! A fish! I caught a dozen whiting, a small pompano & a few croaker. The best part was I was at a beach filled with vacationers and I didn’t need to make them dodge my lines staked at the waterside complete with nasty looks. Lol Overall I’m impressed with it especially for my philosophy of use. It’s well made, slick looking and feels good in the hand. Enjoy!

Really nice quality. I would definitely buy it again.

I am so pleased with my innitial assesment of the reel, all of the holes have had their edges rounded including the small “set and forget” holes on the edge of the reel. The edges of the reel are butter smooth which will make casting easier and more effective. The little tackle bag includes 6 weights (2 sinkers of 3 different sizes), 12 hooks (4 of 3 different sizes), and 4 barrel swivels. The tackle bag easily fits with the reel in the bag. (I took the picture next to a US quarter for size comparison, obviously the quarter was not included with the reel. ) I can absolutly see and appreciate the care and thought that the creators put into this reel and kit. It is so rare that you see a product that was not rushed to market or built to a price, but instead carefully thought out, made to high standards, and and sold for a price that is fair to both producer and customer. I really just wanted something I could easily keep in my bag so I didn’t have to keep a fragile pole in my car all the time if i just wanted to make an impromptu trip to one of the local town ponds after work, and I didn’t want to have to bring a tackle box or bag of tackle that I would have to tote around or leave on the ground while fishing. This is a great way to restrict yourself to the essentials so you can fish more and plan and pack less. I will update this review at a later date after putting some miles on this reel!

Good quality reel.

I'm very happy with it, it's small and compact and fits in my pack very nice. takes some practice casting it, but after a few throws I got the hang of it. Also, it comes from Florida and I purchased mine after the hurricane, and still the shipping was fast. buy one, you'll be happy!
