Other then that what the heck would u use as a blank?
I was thinking to widdle a tree branch thats thick at the bottom and nice and thin at the top of course you could make a reel out of one of those kite reeler-inners 
you can also use those screws with circular things on the top (dont know what its called) as eyes, good luck and tight lines

Out of household appliances?
You could tie a hook to a toaster oven and chuck it into the lake?
I suppose you could rig up a crab trap out of a rice maker.
