YoYo Fishing Reel Comparison- White's Auto-Fisher vs Mechanical Fisher Yo Yo Fishing Reel 

I have bought 3 dozen of the flat trigger model from you. They work flawlessly. Very sensitive trigger for catching bream for bait. I took a couple pair of pliers and bend bottom of flat trigger in towards the set grove so that trigger is not sensitive for some of mine so that I can use live bream on yo-yo for big cats. Only works well with smaller bream but does work. Bigger hand size bream trip trigger too often !

Just bought 5 of the red ones on eBay, from France! Great item for a survival kit! And great eBay seller! Thanks, mate!

Ordered six saw the video and Ordered twelve more hopefully they will bring lots of extra fun this summer.

Thanks. I just got 6 trigger bar yoyo reels in the mail from you. They are really awesome!!! ;-) Showing how to adjust the spring tension in the video was a really big help.

very informative. this covers a lot of useful info that is not covered in other people's vids. thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tutorial on how to adjust the tensions, really helped out.

hey i was watching some sigma 3 survival and trap videos and saw that they used one, didnt know what they were and yall were the first video i chose and it looks like i made the best choice all year, thanks again 4hogwilder and hogwilder

That's a great idea! We make those out of River Cane here(looks like small Bamboo). But you're exactly right. In survival situations there's not always a perfectly located tree, so you have to improvise. We've been needing new video ideas, so I'll put that on the list! Thanks!!

On my trip to Texas I will be picking up several of them. But in your order before I go. Now I am not saying they are legal in Washington or your state. But when S.H.T.F. the game warden will be hungry too. It is a survival back packing thing. I have seen how you can use it for rabbit & squirrel snare trapping too.

Love yoyo fishing.. So easy and convenient. I've been using eagle claw 5/0 circle hooks on mine and they do a great job. Lately I've just been tying 2 yoyos to the dock and baiting them with cut bluegill. Takes 2 min to set up. Go to work, come home, got 2 fresh catfish waiting for me. Actually just finished frying a 10 and a 5 pounder. These would definitely work great for shtf.

Never thought there's a flat trigger until i found this video! Will definitely buy one... maybe more.

Just received my order. (along with a typed apology for delayed shipping). A total of 8 days from order to receipt, and the reels are of excellent quality. It seems that HogWilder has just gotten his website set up, and there were some shipping software issues that caused the delay. I am one very happy customer. Thanks HW.

If you do a lot of yo-yo fishing you will go back to the Auto Fisher..The wire trip is not really convenient but it works better in the deep notch. That allows you to use large shiners for bait or fish in currents without the bait tripping the yo-yo. I will check your store out. Thanks

Hey Thanks So Much Friend!! My Brother and I are very grateful to everyone who buys from us. We don't make a lot of money, but my Brother is a Disabled Veteran, and doesn't get any benefits yet. So any extra money we make from nice guys like you really helps! Thanks So Much! Good Luck and Good Fishing! =)

First of all, Thank You for your Service. I just bought a six pack of the Y0-YO Reels from you. In regards to the Reeling In/Hook Set aspect, Can I still use "Circle Hooks" which (of course) don't require a Hook Set. I'm using these on Jugs. Thanks for the advice...

Just ordered a six pack of the Yo Yo's from you on Amazon. Thanks for the vid!

Hi, I bought the six pack off of Amazon. They arrived super quick and in perfect condition. Cant wait to try them out on my pvc jug fishing rig! Thanks!

I just pulled up some yoyo reels on ebay. But thought I might check out some vids first. This vid was so good and infromative, im specifically going to buy these from you. Thanks!

I actually just ordered a 4 pack off ebay. I watched a few of these videos from you and some others, and looked back on my account. I ordered them from you, and didn't even know it. I'll be the order from N.C.

Just got mine in the mail from you. Awesome little reels.

Just got my dozen flat trigger reels from your Amazon account. Can't wait to get out and try them out over the weekend.

bought a 6 pack for my rail-type tile saw. Looking forward to letting the machine do its work

first off thank you for your service Brother lots of good info I just purchased your 6 pack of the white yo yo I already have the other once again tyvm 4 your service

For you survivalists out there, I can see these working nicely in conjunction with a snare to catch snakes, small game, birds, etc. With a little imagination they should work well for a snare trigger. I would add a stainless steel leader to the end just in case you need to catch a turtle or fish with teeth, etc.

Very informative and helpful. Great video!

Great idea! These are a must for the Bug Out Bag! I like to have a 6 Pack in my Bug Out Bag, and about 6 Snares. You can easily feed a Family of 3 that way, most places. I've hear of Guys using the YoYo for snares also, but just fish. I haven't done any trapping. Thanks so much for you comment!

The one and the only real yo-yo is the mechanical lever version. Built for life now and AGAIN.

Thanks Friend! We just made a "Hat Camera" with a little Flip Camera I bought on eBay for $15. We're going to make some fishing videos and a better demo soon. Thanks for the input!

Once I caught a good size bass on one. Inside of the bass was a small bluegill that has been caught first by the yo yo.

Got the flat trigger model. Excellent service from HogWilder.

Really cool. Just saw these by chance. Looking for light weight for backpacking. Good how to also.

I added some to my amazon cart and decided to do some more research on it. found your video and decided to order ones from you. turns out the ones i picked out (best deal) were yours!

Just got one of each for my SHTF bag. Look pretty good for the price

Thanks Hogwilder! :) i received my mechanical yo-yo today! ^^

Found you on amazon will get these soon.

You can, but I like putting a standard line leader on them. That way I can quickly change it out if I'm trout fishing, or other types of "line shy" fish. Thanks!

Great yoyo reels. I got these from you on ebay a few months ago. Works like a charm for fishing. Got some in my bug out kit for trapping. Like someone else talked about on youtube, During SHTF It does not matter if they are legal, you got to eat. Will order more from you soon.

ha used these things when i was about 9 yrs old now i cant be bothered to fish any other way :)

I'm interested in one of these products for a project of mine, is it possible to thread a axel through the center?

Will look up your site too, good luck.

Great product. You should post some videos of people using the reels. Good luck!

Great video ,straight forward info no bs

thanks so much for doing this video it was very informative and helped me a lot and ill be getting some soon so again thanks

Awesome Man! Hey, let us know how you did, if you have time. Nothing makes me happier than hearing about the fish people catch on our product! Thanks so much Friend!

Hey Thanks, Man! I love your videos too, and I am gonna check that one out now. Good luck, and good Fishin!

I bought from you on amazon, got mine today!

I think their Ebay & Amazon stores are defunct, but thanks anyway for the video comparing the two!

Thank you for posting this video, I've learned a lot from watching it. I will be purchasing a dozen from you on Amazon within a couple of days. After pay day of course :) Thank you HogWilder

Are these any different from the ones wal*mart is carrying on their site?

What do you use for the line that hangs on the branch?

Thanks so much My Friend!! Nice people like you have inspired me to make more! We're working on a Fishing Video, where we are going to Bait 12 of each model, and see what does the best. And video tape it all, like an amateur Bill Dance. :) Hopefully we can make it watchable. HaHA! Thanks again Friend!!

Would the scent of the wd40 make different species of fish unattracted to the line

I will sure do it! Thanks a lot Friend!

There most effective when bait hook is resting under water six inches when sprung. You do not want the fish to be defensless against attack. A good hook set can not be shaken out, pulled out is a better stories

ive been looking at these on amazon... what would be my cost for a 6 pack mailed to ontario canada direct from you rather than ebay or amazon

if I buy 3 or more the shipping is free but is it also free in Canada?

also which one would yall say was the best

Hi Do you know where can I get the linie for this reels? Regards

what is the best bait to use

Is your website working? What is the correct address? Are you selling the Mechanical Fisher's Yo Yo with flat trigger? How do I find prices and order? Thanks.

Thanks so much to all the wonderful RU-vidr's that have been buying from me on eBay and Amazon. I am sorry the website is still offline, but I wasn't able to fulfill my '1 Day Shipping Promise' because of the extra work. So for now, I am just selling on eBay and Amazon so I can provide better service, and the fastest shipping. Thanks so much!!

Throw the snap in the bin it is the type that can open, I'd tie straight to the swivel

I just ordered some from you.

How many feet of line will the reels hold. I am thinking of using one on the pier at Daytona but the water is way down there.

Man I am sorry. I am rebuilding the site, because it was taking way to long to process orders the old way. Thanks!

Checked your site, let us know when it's back up.

Bought 12 off of you and if I like them I will be buying 12 more for friends and family for gifts----Thanks

Thanks Brother! That orders on it's way!

Thank Y'all So Much to everyone who left a nice comment!! I really appreciate it! I will message you guys individually when I have time, but getting customer orders shipped fast is our #1 priority. Thanks and God Bless Y'all!!

Do u still sell these?

Does anyone know the actual length of the line ?

How many feet of line on each one?

MEAT TRAPPER SENT ME I FROM THE BOOTHEEL OF MISSOURI I LIVE IN WEST VIRGINIA NOW GREAT CHANNEL GOD BLESS

Did you Close your eBay Store?

Thanks Buddy:)

Hello.. can we pull the 10ft of line out of thr yoyo?

I just realized ratings were disabled. I enabled them, so thumbs up the video if you like it! Thanks Guys!!

I wish the White's came in a flat trigger, the spring is stronger...

thanks!

Merci beaucoup mon ami!

Thank you so much!!

Wow! That's pretty neat! I have heard of guys getting big ole Catfish like that too.

You're very welcome! :-)

THANKS SO MUCH! :)

I check my email- hogwilderllc@gmail.com several times a day, and I check eBay and Amazon messages many times a day. I tend to forget RU-vid comments and messages, and I am sorry for that. But I appreciate all the nice comments! You all are great!! :-)

Good channel subbed.

a big fish will tear these up no problem I have lost a few but have caught a lot more fish than losing yoyos if you are watching them that is the they work best.

Too bad they don’t retrieve that much line. I like it to be retrieve about 30 to 40 feet

Don't get the White's auto fisher version! It's complete junk. I've used it once, and now it won't reel in the last foot of line..

buying now..fantastic!!!bbigh2o..

Do I need a fishing license since I'm not the one really fishing ? LoL 😉 I

We had an issue with the Website, and orders being marked shipped that were not shipped. We have it fixed now, and I am shipping all of the items that I missed. If you have a problem, I am really sorry. If you're not comfortable buying from the website, just find me on eBay or Amazon. I am really sorry for the problem. This is my 1st website and I am still learning. Thanks

Thanks so much Sal! I do not have your email, but you can reach me at 4hogwilder@gmail.com. I'm not sure why eBay was down. That kinda worries me, lol. Thanks so much for letting me know!

wd40 is not a lubricant

Thanks Buddy! Good luck out there!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! I love talking and working with my fellow Fisherman, Preppers and Outdoorsman. Great bunch of good, honest people! If you're ever in Arkansas, give me a holler. I work a lot of weekends, but we get on the water every chance we get. Maybe we can get a fishin' trip in. :)

Thanks My Friend! I really appreciate it!
