Apeks Lifeline Reel...a brief review

Had a quick look at this spool, but have not had it in the water yet...

I want to get it in the water to see how negative it is

Hi, Have you tried it? do you think its really worth the extra bucks?

I like the swivel. Might add that to my cheap spool.

Thank you, I am considering buying one, it looks great, but of course the price makes me wonder if it is a good investment or not

There's always an option for people with more money than sense... LOL

Let us know if you're able to track down a similar swivel!

just go to any fishing gear store and buy swivel for fishing line
or order some on amazon/ebay.

i use this one:

i have 15 and 35 m versions.

it is really nice one! light, easy grip both on surface and underwater. flat cave line winds pretty compact and seems pretty strong.

the only thing that is a "minus" is the material. it is aluminium. so has negative buoyancy. if you drop delrin/plastic ones in the water they still float in front of you for 10-15 secs, enough time to catch it. this ones sinks most instantly. but from another hands, this negative buoyancy helps stabilize the line when your smb is up and floating and you fix line/spool with a double ender.

Yeah I should stick to the regular spools , I am a bit of an addict around new "gadgets", and this one looks great, but yah is very expensive, but the swivel idea is neat
