    The Reeler- any opinions

    Does anyone have any experience with the Reeler by Spectrum. I'm hoping to get some real life opinions from someone other than the Mfg. Also how does it compare to other brands,

    Thank you

    I see there are no posts so I just wanted to let you know we have a testimonial page with dive professionals thoughts.

    I'll speak both as a user and a dealer - I think this reel is first class all the way! I use it on many dives, but mostly for lobstering off New Jersey, and the self-tensioning and line-leveling features really make one person operation a reality - something you WON'T get with any other reel!

    We recommend it without hesitation to our divers, and they all love it!

    Try one, you'll love it!

    When I seen the post I contacted David Valaika of Indian Valley Scuba for permission to use on our website.

    We have other testimonials that were pulled from online, most are from emails and all are word for word except editing for grammar.

    IVS is reiterating their opinion shared on the website.

    I bought one and it works well. Actually it works great. Love the line tensioning capability and the no hassle reeling the line in.

    I bought one but have only been able to use it for two dives so far. I was the only one on the dive boat that did not come up with a tangled reel. The only problem I foresee is being able to dump the entire reel if there is a problem since its pricier than other options. Besides that I can't complain at all about it.

    I have never used one and unless someone gives me one I never will. Reason is simple - $$$$$$$

    Other than that, they do like like a very fine piece of equipment.
