This is a little fishing reel that I made when I was bored. I had nothing better to do, and access to about 800 cat food containers. Here's what I came out with.

Spool

The spool that the line is held onto is just made of on old wire spool and the lid to some container. They are connected by hot glue.

Handle

The handle is just an eye bolt, connected to the spool through a series of bolts, nuts, and washers.

Main Body

The main body of this is just an empty catfood can with a hole drilled in it.

Rod???

The "rod" part on this is simply a couple bolts and a couple of nuts hot glues together, then onto the main body.
