You need not carry a rod and reel in your BOB.
You can easily improvise. I prefer to use braided
50 lb test spyderwire which is as thin as BrandX
ten lb test line.
Wrap the line around a bottle or Coke can. Take
care that you securely tie the end of the
line to the can.

With a little practice you can cast a lure or baited hook
almost as far, and as accurately, as with rod and reel.

To retrieve, let the incoming line run through one hand.
With the other hand move the bottle as if stirring the air
with it and the line will wrap on the bottle.

thong

1. affix six inches of bead chain to one end of a stout nylon cord twice as long as the barrel of your rifle. At the other end tie a loop (bowline). Eight inches in from the loop on the end tie another loop (bowline). When you wish to clean the rifle, place a patch in the inner of the two loops. Hold rifle muzzle down, drop bead chain into chamber. It will pull the thong down through the barrel. If the patch is too large and gets caught, grasp the end loop and pull the patch out backwards. It is not well to have the thong break leaving a patch in the bore of your rifle.. I usually clean my rifles with carburetor cleaner. I hold them muzzle down, squirt carb cleaner into chamber and bore and clean with a thong as described.
