Ka Bar Backpack Kaster Field test

Описание: This is a field review of the Ka Bar Backpack Kaster. I found this while browsing the Ka Bar website the other day. I was looking at some new knives they had for this year. I saw this little gadget and knew I had to have one. I have been eye balling some wood hobo reel designs for a while and am familiar with the classic design as many are Im sure. The nice thing with this is it wont crack and split like wood when exposed to moisture and heat, it is made of a VERY tough material.

As a kid my friends and I used to make something very similar out of scrounged items at the local fishing waters using soda bottles, tin cans, sticks and used tackle. We would catch some bugs and spent many summer days picking eager little sunfish, bluegill, bass, crappie, perch, and even a few catfish out of the lakes and ponds within bicycle range.... good times !

Some Specs.
Mine weighs in at 4.2 oz with the line clip or 3.7oz without and this includes 50yds of 10lb spiderwire braided line ( braided line will not coil over time like monofilament)
Length is 6 1/4" long and just under 2" at the widest point.
The inner compartment is about 4 1/2" deep and tapered down from 1" to maybe 1/2" at the bottom. There is a rubber O ring to seal the compartment. There is enough room for a decent emergency fishing kit.

Do you like BBQ or cooking with spices ? I have recently found a company that makes fantastic spice mixes. Michlitch of Spokane. : https://www.spokanespice.com/
I went there looking for something new to try and left with a dozen of their rubs and spices, some fish brine, jerky seasoning, 2 bottles of bbq sauce and some hotsauce !
My favorites are :
Chili Chipolte Lime : Smokey, spicy, great lime taste, FISH FRIEND!
Himalayan Ancho Smokey seasoning: smokey and spicy!
Himalayan Lemon Season all: great lemon flavor, great on chicken!
Bailey Secret Celtic: excellent season all, potatoes, eggs, veggies.
They have much more, 200+ spices and seasonings, jerky and meat cures, sausage making equipment and all sorts of food prep equipment. This is not a paid endorsement... I was just blown away at this gem I never knew about, and I BBQ alot ! The customer service was top notch and I would like to spread the word a little !
