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 haven’t used them yet but I have fished with yo yo’s many times in the past. These seem to be made with quality materials that will keep them working for a long time. Always make sure everything is dry before storing them. I keep these 2 in my bug out bag and hope I never have to use them.

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

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!

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.

So no actual use yet, but first impression they seem to be adequate for occasional use. Great pack accessory that could work for you in a pinch, recommend, first impressions only though...

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!

I've never used one of these before but I've always had an idea for something like this...just no idea how to build it. How happy I was when I found out that someone else already made it. I'm thoroughly pleased with the function, form and easy carry of these mechanical fishermen. I will be buying more to share with friends and family that hunt and fish.
