Quick take
A 6 inch hand-operated reel with 140 yards of line for simple handline fishing.
This is a Cuban-style yo-yo handline reel with a 6-inch plastic frame and an aqua blue finish. It comes spooled with 140 yards of 40-pound monofilament and a stainless steel leader and hook, so a first-timer can start fishing without buying a rod. A built-in hook keeper holds the hook while the reel is stowed, and the whole outfit weighs under a fifth of a pound for tossing in a tackle bag or boat locker.
