A unique executive gift item
The 'Reel' Yo-Yo is a truly unique — the only one of its kind in the world that we know of.

The 'Reel' Yo-Yo is computer designed and crafted of solid aircraft-grade aluminum, its shape and form similar to high-quality fly-fishing reels — thus its name: the 'reel' yo-yo. It's the perfect gift for the avid executive sportsman or for any professional yo-yo enthusiast who appreciates high-quality precision products.

The Ultimate 'Catch and Release'
High-performance flyfishing yo-yo
Precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum, the 'Reel' Yo-Yo provides the same satisfying crafstmanship built into the most expensive working reels — plus all the fun of a true, high-performance yo-yo with an international warranty. Each unit is individually machined to high tolerances, not die cast, for exceptional quality and durability.

Perfect in the executive office on the desk or bookshelf
The 'Reel' Yo-Yo sits atop a cleverly designed base resembling a reel foot. Its glossy anodized aluminum finish (available in Ebony, Platinum, Patriot, and USA styles) will please the eye for many years to come. It's a great conversation piece that will produce interest and comment from business associates and clients. Also makes a great gift for special customers and clients who appreciate finely crafted tools and equipment.

A one-of-a-kind precision-crafter gift
The 'Reel' Yo-Yo is a truly unique executive gift item — the only one of its kind in the world (that we know of). At a suggested retail price of only $79.95 U.S., [the price fell to $49.95 U.S. in June, 2002] the 'Reel' Yo-Yo is competitively priced with other high-quality products of similar manufacture. This gift is for the fisherman who has everything, or for the executive who wishes he could take more vacations to the great outdoors, and for those collectors who prize excellent workmanship in yo-yo design."
