Answer: Hi

Answer: The side with the handle, the line spools off the other side

Is the sinker lead or something non-toxic? It matters a lot.

Answer:

Can you use 200lb test on this

Answer: Hello. We have not specifically tested the flip reel to 200lb and whilst we believe the structural integrity of the reel will be fine, hand line fishing is not normally associated with such high weights. If you do test, load appropriately rated line and send us an email with your findings via squiddies.tv. Thanks and good luck.

where made?

Can be I change the line to a 30 lb test line?

Answer: Yes, you can remove and add any line you wish. The line is not permanently attached. I set up my own rigs to my preference.

Answer: Yes

Latex free?

Answer: Yes, latex free.

What kind of fishing line is sold with this product?

Answer: Hi Jessica, thanks for your question. The line is a transparent monofilament nylon line. The line has a breaking strength of 17lb and 165ft is pre-loaded on to the Flip Reel. The aim is to make Flip Reel ready to fish as it also comes with a small hook and sinker. If you

Answer: Very thick, probaly 20-30lb mono

How many yards of 50 lbs. test can this hold

Answer: Flip Reel has 165ft of pre-loaded line with a breaking strength of 17lb. We also put the metric equivalent on the packaging - 50m / 8kg.

Answer: I love it but it is not for deep water, only near the bank.

What kind of line should i put on it the pounds ans diameter

Answer: 165ft, 17lb (50m,8kg) line, pre-loaded.

Answer: It really depends on what you are fishing for you can put any size you want on it. I did not like the product. It doesn't work well at all. I tried different sizes and tried mono and braided lines and followed directions it just isn't that great. The concept is great but it function is not. It great in case of emergency and better than nothing.

Answer: Any thing from 8lb to 20lb mono

If I'm left handed do I have to re-spool the reel?el

Answer: Possibly but any time I purchase any fishing tackle pre-spooled I replace line before use anyway . Hope this helps

Answer: Yep

Would this work for a 3 year old?

Answer: I think it might be too big for a 3 yr old. I am a 6' 195 lb male and it is just right for me. My hand fits inside the reel and I can control it comfortably.

Answer: We would recommend Flip Reel for 6 years and older. With an adult, a 3 year old could simply hold the reel with no difficulties. Thanks

pb : but i expect it to be fun. more versatile than a

intriguing device. have not tried it yet, but i expect it to be fun. more versatile than a dropline

EBU : Stay away.

Returning... Doesn't work at all.
Wish it did... Looking forward to use this in my last beach trip. But I ended up buying a different set altogether.

Amazon Customer : Simple & Dirable Fishing Tool

Haven’t had a chance to fish with it yet, but works in the back yard as advertised. Simple and Durable design...Will take with me everywhere!

JT Robinson : Awesome

Never used one begore. Easy to use and caught fish on first use. I'm hooked.

Amazon Customer : Love it, practice makes perfect

I absolutely love it! Takes a little to get the casting down... but a little time and you will enjoy it.

Amazon Customer : Simple, easy, fun

Keep it in the car for fishing anytime.

Amazon Customer : It is easy to use and carry around with

I honestly will give this a five start rating it deserves it. It is easy to use and carry around with you

Mike : Malo

No desliza el nilon,no funciona bien!????

Brambalam : Brilliant

I got these for our camping bags and they're pretty genius. Very pleased with the quality.

richard : Redesign inner ring surface to smooth.

Inner silicone ring is peppled on the surface which snags the string while casting... immediately stopping the cast. Maybe good for dock or pier fishing.. unable to use to cast line..

Amazon Customer : I love that the flap will contain the hook and sinker

I love that the flap will contain the hook and sinker. This is great for transport. The flap does seem to take away from the "castability" even when wetted per instructions. I actually used it while snorkeling so the casting factor was not as important to me. I would recommend this product but realize that it does take practice.

Heather : Ehhhh

A little tough to use. But If you are just playing around, it's a fun little toy.

Amazon Customer : I love this! I bought this for my cousins to ...

I love this! I bought this for my cousins to use however I've found myself using this more and more! I'm used to fishing with a cane pole and this is much better! It's easy to cast and reel in. It has a convenient line cutter and a spot to place the hook so it doesn't stick anyone! It's made from materials that are very durable and look pretty cool. I definitely recommend this product!

I got this item at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

Jennielee : DO NOT BUY!!!!

Package was completely destroyed and the item showed damage, yet Inwas not given a full refund. DO BOT BUY!!!

Travis K. : Disappointing

Like some of the other reviewers I took this on a long adventure requiring me to carry it over several hundred miles. When the perfect moment finally revealed its self I was left with complete frustration and disappointment. No matter what kind of line you put on this reel or how much you wet the line it will not cast due to how grippy the rubber bell is. Great concept but missed the mark, I question the legitimacy of these 5 star reviews.

Amamikezon Customer : A better yoyo

Great yoyo, love how it golds over the line for storage

c. barnard : but once you do it is a great hand fishing reel

Got this for a family lake vacation so my son and I could do some fishing. It takes a while to get casting down, but once you do it is a great hand fishing reel.

Tj : Great reel when cast wet, BYO fishing line

This reel is a lot different than most cuban yoyo types. As some have pointed out, the rubbery material is sticky and will grab ahold of the line and not allow casting when dry. I read these reviews and was about to walk away from this product, but I decided to watch some of their videos on YouTube, and decided I would see for myself. I am glad I did. You MUST wet the outside rubber material with water before casting. It looks like the water just runs off, but it makes it go from unusable to just as good as my hard plastic yoyos just from being wet. The one suggestion I would have, is to buy some quality 20+lb mono to put on this so it isnt so sharp to handle with bare hands (this 10lb? line is pretty sharp), and also the line loaded from the factory is subpar just like every preloaded fishing reel I have ever seen. Just unspool the preloaded line straight into the trash, and reload something easier to handle and of better quality. Also the preloaded line is only held to the reel by a small piece of tape and not tied on at all, so if you happen to use most of the line, it will probably come loose and you will loose the line and any tackle on it anyway.

Brittany : So fun! Perfect for all ages

So fun! Perfect for all ages. Simple to use! Perfect size to carry along with you wherever you go. I really liked how it all folds together to keep everything intact and portable. I received this at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.

Steve B. : Not good

Idea is great, but unless reel is wet the line gets stuck and jerks. I gave it away.

Cyndy : Clever idea but casting is near impossible. Even when ...

Clever idea but casting is near impossible. Even when wet. The bell is textured and the line won't slide off the spool.

God of the savageness : NOT ABLE TO CAST

You are not able to cast them ever. And it's dangerous to use because you might have hook on your face accidentally

Viorel : Exactly as in the pictures

Good quality materials. A litle bit too expensive.

Joseph E Brown : I would not recommend this to a friend very hard to cast and ...

I would not recommend this to a friend very hard to cast and too small to wanting your lineup quickly I prefer the bigger style with no Rubber overlap

Tj : Great reel when cast wet, BYO fishing line

Amazon Customer : Simple, easy, fun

Keep it in the car for fishing anytime.

Amazon Customer : Works

Troy A Goodfellow : perfect for a back pack fishing kit

perfect for a back pack fishing kit. Used these in the Caribbean and loved it. So simple and the rubber flap over keeps all my needed lures from hooking other items in my bag.

T Smith : super

Firstly I got this product at a discount for my honest review. This is a awesome idea for my bob as its small and has storage

I can't cast with it the line drags on the surface.

stoncrop : Great hand fishing reel

Great hand fishing reel. The one side flips inwards and covers the line and the hooks which I like a lot. The slot look on the inside makes holding it easy.
