Product Description

The Yoyito

A simple handline reel 3.5 in diameter by 1 in thick, capable of landing anything from freshwater bream to bull reds and groupers offshore.

We took a rod and spinning reel and removed anything that was not absolutely necessary to perform the basic functions: casting, retrieving, sensitivity and the ability to fight big fish. The Yoyito is the result of years of design and experimentation, the essence of a fishing system that is tried and true.

People have been fishing for at least 40,000 years and handlining is one of the earliest forms. Even today, millions of people around the world use a handline to feed themselves and their families.

The Yoyito is not the only handline reel on the market, but it sits in a class of its own. It is the most compact and durable reel of its kind. We took a 21st-century approach to improve on a design that has been around for millennia.

Unique features:

Snug finger holes for a very secure grip
A silky smooth front cone with an optimized angle for casting great distances
A center hex hole that fits on a base for attaching to bows, fishing piers, and kayaks
Two rear holes for unattended slackline fishing
Dimensions that allow the reel to fit in your pocket for all day carry
Available in a kit that includes everything you need to go fishing on any environment
Made in the USA

Why a handline?

Because life is complicated and fishing does not have to be. Whether you are a hiker, survivalist, sports fisherman or you are simply curious about a fishing; the Yoyito fishing kit is the ideal tool for the job. Keep it in your pocket, backpack, B.O.B or your glove box. Never find yourself in an awesome fishing spot without a mean to fish again. With no moving parts, made of aircraft grade aluminum and anodized for corrosion resistance, there is nothing more reliable than a Yoyito handline reel.

After all, more fish have been caught on a handline than any other form of line and hook fishing

Handline reels for “real” fish Whether you are fishing for sport or trying to put food on the table; The Yoyito handline reel provides a “tried and true” method of fishing.	Hand-to-hand combat Feel every turn, dive and run like never before. When you handline, it’s just you and the fish. This is the ultimate fishing experience.

Awesome red on a Yoyito handline

Here we have Spencer landing redfish, somewhere off the coast of Texas. Even though he is relatively new to handlining, you can see him working the fish like a boss. Spencer is now traveling through Europe with his Yoyito handline, he’s already send us several picture of his catches in Portugal and Spain.

The Yoyito on Naked and Afraid

Watch episode “Worlds Collide” of the Discovery Channel’s show Naked and Afraid to see the awesome Melissa Miller catch piranha with the Yoyito. Melissa didn’t just survive, she thrived! Even though they only show her catching one piranha on the show, she actually dozens of them.

Questions about Yoyito Aluminum Hand Line Reel Pocket/Travel Fishing Kit (20 lb Clear line)

Can this be used in freshwater fishing

Answer: Yes it can, i live in Michigan and i strictly use it for freshwater fishing!

Answer: Yep, used mine for bluegill, had a lot of fun.

Answer: Yes then only difference between the 2 is the saltwater rig has heavier string and weights I caught bass sized reds with my yoyito it can Catch just about anything reasonable perch bass trout reds and small sharks

why is't there more color options?

Answer: There are 2 colors, gold and silver, why I don’t know.

with the finger holes if hooked into a large fish will this break your fingers when the fish takes off?

Answer: This is definitely sized for smaller fish. The biggest fish I hav ever hooked into with it was a walleye, about 20 inches. A bigger fish like a pike or something you are definitely in trouble. For that you would want a full size Cuban fishing reel

Answer: No it will not, it’s very easy to hold on to a large fish!

Answer: No, your fingers are safe once you practice a little and figure it all out. It's naturally simple and intuitive.

Answer: No it won't! You can really only get your fingertips in there. So there should be no issues!

Why can't I chose the color of the line?

How do you rig your yoyito for panfishing?

Answer: Like a regular rod, hook small split shot and a float!

How much line does the reel hold with 20 lb line??

Answer: About 250 ft

Answer: That I don’t know, mine came pre-loaded and I’ve never measure the exact amount.

Why does it show different color opinions for the line but only shows the clear line?

Answer: Hi, we have 3 colors at the moment, gold, nickel and black. We are planning on making other colors in the future. Thanks!

So lined for 20lb is good for me,i live on the beach.We have bass,flattys etc.
However the estuaries hold a lot of mullet.
I will mooch the surf and rocks for bass and also bread float the mullet in the estuary.
That doesn't mean the woodies are safe at the flood tide.
Get out side early!
