Comment by John Sheehan on October 7, 2014 at 6:17am: I get it thanks .Fish while you sleep without having to tie the line to your toe . This video suggests you tie to a flexible limb so as to have some leeway with a big and strong fish like a whopper Catfish . "The flexible limb acts as a shock absorber" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAz0zM-Jxy0 David your yo yo's look like the 2nd style shown in the video @ 3:22 These remind me of ice fishing tip ups or traps .

Comment by Tony Livingston on October 7, 2014 at 4:28am: Those things are popular down south. Don't see them too often up here. If you're after numbers, they would probably do the trick.

Comment by Lord of the Fly , Rods on October 6, 2014 at 8:00pm: you can wear the crappie out with them. LOFR

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on October 6, 2014 at 7:56pm: Well maybe I better reline it with 15#....
And pray.

I reckon they've been around for a good while, so they many be at least fun, and maybe downright useful.

Comment by Lord of the Fly , Rods on October 6, 2014 at 7:55pm: our law says we can have 20 apiece ,but we have to stay with them ,within earshot during daylight hours. LOFR

Comment by Lord of the Fly , Rods on October 6, 2014 at 7:52pm: The line may be rated at 60 lbs but my experience with them a fisty 20 lb or bigger cat will pull the guts and spring right out of them, lost a bunch of them like that one night. LOFR

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on October 6, 2014 at 7:47pm: The line is rated at 60#, but Id call that hopeful.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on October 6, 2014 at 7:47pm: According to the instructions, you can submerge them, like beneath a jug.
The spring and hardware is stainless.
I wouldn't be comfy doing it, but that's what it said.
And I plan to hang mine from branches using bailing wire.

Comment by Lord of the Fly , Rods on October 6, 2014 at 7:44pm: It has a string you can tie on a limb but you may want to take a hammer and nails out with you to place a nail wher you can tie on the string ,just keep the spool out of the water. LOFR
