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.
