Yo-Yos / YoYo's for
Catfishing
Mechanical Fishers
**PLEASE NOTE THESE DEVICES
ARE ILLEGAL IN TEXAS**
A yo-yo or a mechanical
fisher is a small device
that you tie on to a limb, dock, jug or even the side of a boat.
basically
what this device is is an automated reel. You tie it off to your chosen
item and then pull the line out and bait it. The mechanical device sets
and the line stays out in the water. When a fish hits the bait, the
yo-yo
pulls the line back in rapidly and hooks the fish.
These can be suspended below
jugs and fished just
like like you would with a regular jugline, and they work very well.
They
are fairly inexpensive (less than $3 a piece). They are not easy to
find
in Texas, but I still see them around every now and then. I have heard
different
stories about the legality of these devices in Texas and I am not sure
whether
they are legal or not. With this in mind I would not recommend using
them
until you have checked with your local Game Warden.
You can order them online
from several places,
if you are interested email
me
and I will send you in the right direction.
