🎣 ForgeReel – Rodless Fishing Reel with Built-In Tackle Storage v2

🔧 Design Update – Improved Tackle Storage

The ForgeReel has been updated with a redesigned internal tackle system for improved usability and flexibility.

• The threads on the internal tackle container have been refined to make opening and closing smoother and more reliable. When used as intended and not overtightened, the lid should be easier to remove and reinstall.
• In addition to the original layout, this update introduces new internal tackle options, including:
  • 2-slot tackle insert
  • 4-slot tackle insert

These new options allow you to better organize hooks, weights, or small tackle based on your fishing style, while keeping everything contained in a compact, pocket-friendly design.

As always, fit and feel may vary slightly depending on printer tolerances and material choice, but this revision was designed to improve overall ease of use and versatility.

Go anywhere. Catch anything.
The ForgeReel is a sleek, rodless-style hand reel designed for campers, survivalists, and minimalist anglers. Its circular 140mm design holds your fishing line on the outside while the inside stores hooks, weights, or extra gear—all within a screw-together case that’s just 40mm thick and 212g empty.

🧰 Key Features:
• Rodless Design – Fish on the go without a full rod setup
• Integrated Tackle Storage – Interior space with screw-on lid
• Compact & Travel-Ready – 140mm x 40mm, 180g total weight
• Support-Free Print – Easy to print on most FDM printers
• Made for Mobility – Perfect for bug-out bags, gloveboxes, or backpacking

ForgeReel keeps it simple, light, and effective—just how minimalist fishing should be.
 

Instructions:  

• Do not overtighten! I have added areas to help get the reel back out but I only recommend tightening slightly till the slot lines up on the reel and the top of the tackle box insert is flat to the reel.
• If done correctly you can store your lure being used inside the tackle area through the slot for fast easy fishing on the go
• Casting - Aim the reel with the beveled side toward where you want to cast with the other can throw or spin then throw your bait or lure for extra distance. Reel it in by hand using gloves preferably.
• I recommend using braided string at 20 pound strength or less for maximum casting efficiency.  
• Be Careful fishing I am not responsible if you injure yourself using this set up!
