Gear Review: Rodless Reel (Survivor Series)

August 30, 2019 by Robert McConnell in Gear

Overall, I love this little thing. It's so easy to put in my pocket when I take the dog for a walk, or when I go on a hike in the local national forest. If I see a fishy looking spot, I make a couple of casts, simple as that. The Rodless Reel would be a great addition to any camping or backpacking trip if you plan on hiking along a river or lake. It would also make a great piece of gear for a bug-out-bag or wilderness survival kit.

It didn’t take long before Kyle and I were scrambling out of the raft in order to portage around a large impassable logjam. We laboriously pulled the raft along the white sandbar until we were clear of the obstruction. Before jumping back into the raft and continuing our float, we walked back to the large tangle of logs and limbs.
