Had this for over a year before I used it. I did find that the string unwound against the reel even being "locked" and was a bit of a mess to after exiting the water.

This is a great value. Very easy to use with three spooling positions: fully locked, drag and free wheel. I had no issues unspooling or rewinding the line. Great product especially for the price.

I bought 2 of this, one for my son and one for me about 2 years ago. We do only boat dives in Ecuador and the use of a SMB and a reel is a good safety measure. The problem with these reel is that the locking mechanism easily moves to the free or "ratchet" setting if you bump or accidentally hit the reel while diving, I have had to deal with lots of tangled lines in many dives which becomes an annoying problem because the reel suddenly got unlocked and many lengths of the line were dangling and floating around me. I have given up on this reel, I tried many things to fix this problem without success, I am about to buy a different brand this time making shure by checking proven reels used by fellow divers.

Wanted a reel with more line capaity then the 150 foot one I had. Looks good and I like the multi drag/click system. Less likley to let the line run away and end with a tangled mess.

This reel functions well, and is very good quality. I did not give it 5 stars simply because I did find it a little bit difficult to operate with thick dry gloves on. It worked, but the reel rubs against the back of your fingers as you operate it. This makes it a little less efficient than I'd like!

After running reels in a cavern environment on several dives, I concluded that there must be an easier way for those of us with tiny, size 6 hands, to efficiently and effectively lay line, and hold a flood light, without being so cumbersome. I saw that this reels handle could be detached, so I took if off, positioned it to the side, cut off the excess steel, drilled new holes, and reconfigured my reel to be a Side Handle Reel. I now really love it, and it's so much easier to navigate with!!! I recommend this reel, but also recommend modifying it.

Shopped on line for this item. Good value for the price.Used on wreck diver course training dives, it worked without fail every time.

Really like the functions on this dive reel but on my first dive i was towing my safety sausage on the surface when felt the string go loose. I looked back to see the line laying on the bottom of the lake. Not sure if it wrapped around something or what but never felt any resistance when the line snapped. Gonna put a heavier string on it.

I haven't really used it yet ... but .. the reel has a stick label to signify ... stop ... free run ... and bumpy run ... I am sure that sticker will fall off with use ... Otherwise construction is very good, and it comes with two stainless steel clips already ... so you don't have to go out and get clips before the thing will work ... it is ready to use .. however ... like I said ... the stick on label is sure to come off with use ...

I need a reel when I teach open water/advanced open water courses to measure certain distances. There are 3 settings on the reel. - Free release - Skip release (keeps tension on the reel while paying out slack) - Stop There is a hole in the handle to hook the attachment to hold it in place. Very well made.

This is my first reel. purchased mainly based on price and reviews. Seems to work well. Its not made as sturdy as some of the more expensive reels but you get what you pay for. For what little bit i use it I think it will serve me well.
