The Pocket Fishing Ring is a compact, wearable fishing reel designed for ultimate portability and emergency preparedness. This unique device features a ring that fits comfortably on your finger, with an integrated spool mechanism mounted on top. The spool is manually operated via a small handle, allowing you to easily wind and unwind fishing line. It's secured with a lock nut. Its small size makes it ideal for adding to a survival kit or bug-out bag without taking up valuable space. This innovative design allows you to keep a fishing line readily accessible for unexpected opportunities or emergency situations. Imagine being stranded in the wilderness and needing to secure a food source – the Pocket Fishing Ring provides a discreet and efficient way to cast a line and try your luck. The 3D printed construction, likely from a durable plastic like ABS or PETG, ensures the device is lightweight yet robust enough to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. Consider printing with a high infill percentage to maximize strength and durability, especially if targeting larger fish. This could be a lifesaver in a survival situation.
PETG — PETG, not PLA — a fishing reel takes line tension and gets wet. PLA's glass transition is 61C, so it deforms in a hot car and creeps under sustained load. PETG holds to about 80C and still prints on any open-frame printer, no enclosure needed.
Handles heat, sun and load without an enclosure. The default for gear that leaves the house.
