2 Mechanical Fisher's Yo Yo Fishing Reels -Package of 2 YoYos- Yoyo Fish Trap

Yo-Yo traps are the coolest addition you can have in your hiking/camping pack for acquiring meat while out in the wild. A very nice trap that you can set and forget while you take care of camp chores and come back to meal waiting for you to prepare. These work very well for smaller sized fish like sunfishes or perch. Over time I can see the string part of the trap wearing out but it is a part that can easily be replaced. These traps are as reliable and convenient as they are light weight and easy to carry. I usually take 3 of them with me but only set up 2 if I plan to fish with a rod and reel due to my states regulations. I have not tried them out for trapping anything else but I have seen videos showing them being used as snares and bird traps.

I bought this and wanted to try it out, and to my surprise it works amazing! This thing does catch fish as well at turtles! It takes a little bit of time to set up and I wish there was a bigger hole to tie it down somewhere else, but hands down it’s amazing and work! Perfect to keep in a bug out bag for survival or as a back up for fishing. Worth the money and fun!

Great overall quality. Only problem I had was it shows a metal plate for the tensioner in the picture but when I received it it was a small wire. I guess it would be easier to fix if it broke but still not what it advertised

Haven't tried them yet

Overall, I see these as a well-built American made product...but I received the "older" style with the spring trigger, and not the "more sensitive" flat trigger as advertised...not that I care. They are going in my Bug Out bag and if I ever use them I will have bigger problems to worry about.While I'm here I might as well throw this out there; I believe the reel is rust resistant aluminum which is good. If the cord is indeed nylon, it is undoubtedly at least 60 lbs. test. Just know that the cord is twisted and not braided like ice fishing line so its not as easy to work with but they do heat-seal the ends so that they will not untwist. Buy them and hope to God you never have to use them. At least you will be keeping some guy in Ash Grove Missouri working and supporting his family.

Ok, I finally got the chance to try this produce yesterday..oh my..lol.It works. Just like it says! I set my yo yo up attached to a good branch, set my line and sat back to read while waiting, where was I sitting? We'll about a yard away and below to the right. We'll it works so good that iT sprung when fish took my bait and flew out of water with the fish smacking me right in the shoulder...lmao I was laughing so hard for my own mistake ... But hey it works great!

Drop a line from the stern of your boat, kick back with a good book, and wait to hear the telltale zzz-zzz-zzz of the reel engaging and pulling up your dinner. What could be better? I would like to find a larger version for deeper water trolling, but these are great for trolling when we're sailing through coastal waters.Note: make sure these are legal where you plan to use them-- many states ban mechanical yoyo reels. I only use these for catching fish to eat. There is literally no sport to catching fish with these so it would make zero sense to use them for catch and release.

Although I have not used them yet, they are made exceptionally well. They will come in handy or camping out and emergency use. They are light weigh and will fit in a backpack without taking up much space. If you are preparing for emergencies or just camping, grab these,
