The Maker:
Firefighter Jake Rutledge was vacationing with his family on a beautiful Florida beach when an idea struck him. What if there was a way to fish and enjoy a cold drink at the same time without lugging around a full-size rod and reel? After months of tinkering, Chill-N-Reel was born!
What it does:
Chill-N-Reel is a unique way to enjoy a cold one while having a line in the water. Youβll be the talk of the beach or lake! This made in the USA gift idea ensures that even if you donβt catch anything, youβll still have fun while relaxing on the water.
