I could see where this would be especially handy if you had a big fish on the line and thought you might lose him if he put up too much of a fight.Just pull back on the sling shot and *POW*!
Not wanting to spend $90 for cheap slingshot with an even cheaper fishing reel attached (the EZ Hang), I built my own for less than $40. It works great, easily launching a 1oz weight over a 65 foot tree. I can remove the fishing reel and still have a fully functional slingshot, or I could even use it to fish with.Here are the step by step illustrated instructions. Total time invested was less than an hour.http://www.n3xp.com/projects
