When I was a kid my dad & I had about 2 dozen of 'em we used to run at night on camping trips, it was the greatest fun. Hang 'em on trees & go out every couple hours to gather fish & re-bait 'em. Sometimes sitting by the campfire, you could hear 'em go off. We didn't leave 'em baited all night or else the fish would be dead by morning. Catfish & sometimes crappie. Saw a few people dangle 'em from cane poles but that seemed kind of silly to me.
That was Louisiana in the '60s & '70s, not allowed here, now, though.

I thought that these yo-yo were outlawed but this is all I could find on the Texas Parks and wildlife site
Throwline:
For use in FRESH WATER only. A fishing line with five or less hooks and with one end attached to a permanent fixture. Components of a throwline may also include swivels, snaps, rubber and rigid support structures.
* May be used to take NONGAME fish, channel catfish, blue catfish and flathead catfish only.
* Placement and Location Restrictions: Throwlines may not be used in

The TPWD site lists all legal devices. Yo-yo's have a metal spring that reels 'em in whenever the trigger gets tripped.
