    Finger Reel to shoot safety sausage or lift bag???

    I would like to purchase a reel to shoot a safety sausage or lift bag for open water accents. Most of the reels ive seen and used are rather large and bulky. My question, can you shoot a lift bag or SS using a finger reel safely? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks. Mike

    I've only got 6 dives including my OW cert dives. The deepest i've gone is 50' with our instructor. I was comfortable doing that. However, I intend to stay in the 30' to 40' range until it gets boring. Thanks for your help. Mike
