Mechanical Yo-Yo Rig (Video Included)

Wade's World Fishing: A fishing yo-yo is a spring-loaded metal reel that is rigged, baited and left in place so fish can find the bait. When they bite, the spring-loaded trigger trips, and an inertial reel sets the hook and keeps pressure on the fighting fish. Here is how to rig a mechanical yo-yo.

• Use stout nylon line that comes in the package to tie a yo-yo beneath a limb overhanging the water.
• Rig yo-yo line with hook and enough split shot to hold the line vertical in the water.
• Bait hook with live bait.
• Pull enough line out from yo-yo so bait will hold at least 2 feet into the water.
• Set the mechanical trigger, and then leave the rig in place for an extended time period.
