Only have half an hour for lunch? Grab your KA-BAR Backpack Kaster out of your bag/glovebox/trunk and catch dinner! The Backpack Kaster is made in America and can be purchased from KA-BAR dealers and www.kabar.com/...
Just got my Backpack Kaster and very impressed with quality. I'm right handed so do I wind the line on clockwise or anti-clockwise when viewing the KABAR from the top?
If you really believe this, you have never used a "hobo reel", and you certainly have never used this one. Fifteen bucks is dirt cheap for something that's roughly a thousand times better than any hobo reel I've ever seen, and I've seen dozens and dozens over my sixty-five years. Nearly all are pure junk. Most things with "hobo" in the description are junk. Hobos didn't use thee things because they were high quality, they used them because they had nothing else to use. The same is true of hobo coffee, which many now call cowboy coffee, including some who should know better, but pretend to be something they aren't. And hobo bushpots/ Seriously? Yes, they work, but those who use them do so because they like the romance of "hobo", not because they're even remotely as good as a quality pot you can get off Amazon for thirty bucks. Hobo sounds great. It sounds romantic. But the word always translates to "pure junk", and if you can rerplace it with the real thing, you're an idiot if you don't.
I love mine, funnest piece of gear I have bought in a long time ! You should sponsor a fishing challenge or something using this !
I think a good addition to your lineup here would be a slingshot. Something similar to the Simple Shot scout but with the KA BAR style.
Ha ha ha....
I think they have one.
I'm gonna have to pick one of these up for my go bag
Better than a pocket fisherman.
I'll be going to the Amazon next month. I need this in my pack.
great idea for the pack and if you actually need it
Wow really awesome looking Ka-bar tool!!! :D
Very practical , gotta get one or two , and no I'm not affiliated with KA-BAR , I jut like t their products.
Just picked one up last week.
I have 2 of these they work great for what they are.
Nice.

Wrap the line so if you fight something big it tightens the cap, not loosens it.
Clockwise. So you don’t accidentally open the kaster while pulling fish. 🙂
How far can you cast with it?
First Boyz!!!
It’s just a hobo reel, backpackers have been making these since forever. $15 is borderline overpriced.
