From LeisurePro:
In the early days of cave diving, reels were not available to buy off the shelf. Divers used anything they could, including empty electrical wire spools. When exploring, divers would pay out the line and if they didn't empty the spool it would be left in the cave for the next dive.
This large diver's reel comes with 250 ft. nylon 2mm line, has a corrosion resistant aluminum anodized frame, spring loaded slide gate clip, and drag system. The reel position the handle on top, which helps divers who use a handheld light to hold both the light and the reel in one hand, freeing the other hand to work the reel. Reel has large tension adjustment control knob which is easy to use with gloved hands, and helps prevent bird nesting and back lash of the line. Reel is ideal for lift bag deployment.
