Abstract
A portable fishing device is provided having a handle with a spool providing a line reel rotationally engaged at one end which is sized for placement in a clothing pocket when not being employed. The handle has a gripping area adjacent one side of the spool and a lanyard having a loop positionable around the arm or wrist of a user gripping the handle in the gripping area to tether the fishing device to the user. The fishing device has only one moving part, that being the spool on the handle, to minimize potential loss of use from mechanical failure.
