mini fishing reel from a 35 mm film cartridge

Step 5Why the hell do we wanna do this anyway?

why the hell do we wanna do this anyway?
heh heh i bet a few of you are asking that question.
well any survival kit should contain fishing line so heres a little reel than can hold 80 feet or more of it and keep it neat and keep it clean and function as a mini fishing reel if you want.
think of the funny looks you will get if you walk up to the local fishing hole with a small bit of bamboo with this little reel on the bottom of it. {think of the angry looks youll get when you hook fish with this but conversly dont let them blame it on your little reel if you dont catch any lol}
good for the lightweight backpacker who doesnt want to carry a full size fishing rod .
use some wire through the holes in the casing and lash it to a small stick make a couple of wire loops at the end and in the middle to guide the line and you have a fishing rod that will catch small brook trout{the most common kind around here].
and besides it offends me to throw out stuff that is usefull.
and i expect a lot of you are the same.
if you are write my missus and tell her it aint garbage please.

thanks for looking and have a great day
im entering this in the laser contest but i dont expect it to win hmmm i wonder if i put a hard drive magnet in it and stuck it to the fridge....err ahh nevermind
