I don't know. i was wondering the exact thing.
search for them on cabelas
You don't need the reel, just anchor a line with a baited hook on a branch. The animal can not spit the hook out. I use a braided steel leader. That way if I get a squirrel it can not chew the line. I keep a few wood screws in my pocket kit.
For small rodents like squirrels, I have used a large rat trap. Drill a hole in it and screw it low to a tree. I have also anchored it with steel wire and set it on the ground at the base of a tree.

is a rat trap powerful enough? i would think the squrrel would get away injured.
Ever get your hand caught in one??,imagine that around a squirrels neck:eek:
Rats and squirrels are about the same size. I just make sure it's off the ground,Quote:

yeah good point. so it simply breaks the squirrels neck like a rats? or does it just pin him/her down until you get there? or both?
well wat happens is it bracks its neck or if it didnt have enough power it will chok it and thats why you have it off the ground
oh ic. so what happens when the squrrel stands on the bar and gets flipped off the trap? Or does that happen much?
So, does the yo-yo reel gets it name because of the way it works, from who sets it up or because it isn't fake?
not sure rick. I wonder if you could set a noose of line over the entrance of a gofur hole. then when the gofur comes up the noose tightens around the gofur's neck and when he fights to get free the reel starts cracking him in and presto you got gofur meat. personally it doesn't sound too apetizing but in a live or die situation you do what you gotta do.
A snare, flander?
Gesundheit.
Thank you Rick!
Not to be confused with a flander snareQuote:
