Default Yo-Yo Automatic Fishing Reels

I go paddling a couple of times a month in sal****er bays in California.
Have a fishing license and would like to mount a couple of these directly
onto my plastic kayak.

If I mount it with a screw - am I legal?

California forbids "mousetrap" gear that is not attached to a person or
vessel. (DFG 28.65 f)


Section 28.65
(f ) Mousetrap gear prohibited: It is unlawful to use, assist in using, or
to possess aboard any vessel,
hook-and-line gear commonly termed “mouse traps” constructed of a hook(s) or
lure(s), attached to one
end of a line that is attached to a float, or floats at the other end, and
that when fished, is not attached
directly to a person or vessel. Possession of such gear aboard a vessel
shall be prima facie evidence
that the gear is being used in violation of this regulation.
