YO Reel

A sidecast Cuban Yo-Yo, refined. Precision swivel, direct handline feel, fewer moving parts.

The reel

Built for real water,
not the spec sheet.

Platform

Precision sidecast

Swivel architecture tuned for a smooth release and a clean recovery.

Form

Purposeful build

Every shape, every cutout earns its place. No decoration, no excess.

Specs

Five details
that earn their keep.

  1. 01

    Swiveling reel mount

    A precision swivel rotates 90° between cast and retrieve. One motion, no thinking.

  2. 02

    Ambidextrous body

    Same reel, either hand. Mount it however you fish.

  3. 03

    Tapered Cuban profile

    Sidecast geometry tuned for distance, line release, and a clean rewind.

  4. 04

    Integrated line grooves

    Cut into the spool, not stuck on. The line stays seated under load.

  5. 05

    Quick-access hook slots

    Rear-edge slots hold lures secure between casts — no spinner clutter.

Stay close

We share every prototype, every trip out, every fish that took the line.
