I have no idea what this is. It was found in an old fishing box.
It has line, a sliding door for a compartment and says shot and cap on it.

I thought it might be some kind of trot line, but when you said shot and cap maybe Dynamite fuse 😂 just guessing, waiting for someone else to come along with an answer 😂😂
My grandpa used it for fishing back in the day, so he said 👍

Shot n cap first thought was black powder n percussion cap.

It does look like a trotline reel but I don't see any rings on the line to attach the hook and line to.

Cut of a short piece of the line Mark and try and light it. If it's fuse line, you'll know. Might just be for DuPont spinners.

Could be. The wood looks like it’s aged 100 years.

The rings might have come off

Even if they did, the knots where they were tied on would still be there.

I’ve thrown m80s in a pond before but dynamite? Fish come out cleaned and ready for the frying pan.
