If you still have any questions about them or their use please don't hesitate to ask, I would be more than willing to answer anything that you are not clear on! |

thank you we do not have these here ,i do not believe they are legal anywhere in canada.,that said i nwould like some.any good links where to get these. Here is a link to Amazon that has several listed. They have very reasonable prices on the few that I glanced at. I use the brand name "Whites Auto Fishers" I'm sure some of those others are just as good but the Whites are the only ones I have personal experience with. Also these not only have use as a fishing tool. They can also be utilized as a snare for small game. I have never snared with them before but it looks like a very efficient way to easily set up an automatic snare. Just something to make one tool do two jobs! Oh, by the way, I did check Cabela's and they no longer carry them. I have found them locally at Wal-Mart and larger bait shops but if they are not a legal fishing method there that is probably out for you. Hope this helps Nbc! www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=fishing+yo+yo&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=12521721210&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1555084147874699866&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_1nhhkhxcsc_b |

Great video wtrfwlr, and thank you for all the work you put into it. I have been looking into buying fishing Yo-Yos a while back, are they made by one company and sold by different vendors or are some better than other? If so which ones are the better ones? Mike

Mike Thank You for the compliment Mike! The ones that I have experience with are the ones with the brand name "Whites Auto Fisher" The others may do the same thing I don't know? I've just always used the Whites because that is what is available here locally. The Amazon link that I posted above seems to have several sellers that carry that brand and they are reasonable in pricing. |

Thanks wtrfwlr, I will look into the "Whites Auto Fishers". Forgot to mention that your video is 100% better than any instructions I have seen in the internet, and I searched a lot. Again, thanks for the great video, and I am looking forward your next one on Trot-Lines.

One last question wtrfwlr, are the inside parts made out of stainless, I think the outside is made out of aluminum or steel for what I can tell in the picture. Reason I am asking is for their use in salt and brackish water, any idea how they stand if used in salt water as far as rusting?

Reason I am asking is for their use in salt and brackish water, any idea how they stand if used in salt water as far as rusting? Good Question, The plates are made of Galvanized Steel and the springs are Spring Steel. The springs will rust. The Galvanize will corrode with that white chaulk stuff. If you keep them in a bucket like I do they will dry out very quickly and this is really not of any concern. They have lasted me for many years storing them this way. I have no experience with salt-water or brackish conditions either so I can't help there. I would think if you took the time to rinse them with fresh water after use they would last just like mine have. I know that is what we did the times I have been to the Coast fishing, rinse the outboards and trailer, anything that was subject to corrosion got hosed down. I will say this though. I have heard that someone out there makes a Polycarbonate version of this but I have not seen them so I don't know? Just let me know if you have any other questions, I love helpin out, that's how I learn new stuff! |

BJ that was a very good video. I've not used them before but feel like I certainly could now. One question I have though is about how long the line/cordage should be for hanging them from the tree limb over the water. I think I heard you say once the fish is tired out the spring will bring it up to the reel. So does that mean the reel needs to be water level once it's set? Or does it need to be just below the waterline? Or does it make a difference? Again, good job. You've got this video thing worked out and I'm looking forward to your trot line video.
PS You don't need no stinkin' video camera.. you're doing great. But you can buy a point and shoot (simple canon or nikon for about $100) that comes with a pretty good video capability as well as digital still pics.

Thank you wtrflr, I use freshwater fishing gear that I have collected over the years and now use it in Virginia for catching croakers (known as the pan fish of the sea), very good eating plus I use the carcasses for my crab traps (nothing goes to waste) and I rinse my tackle with fresh water and it seems to last a long time. Again thanks for answering all my questions. Mike
