Looking to get into wrecks and maybe caves for reel. (pun intended).
Two questions:
1,)
Curious about this relative new sidewinding real with soft handle:
OMS smart real
OMS SmartReel 400' Red Line
I like size and weight aspect (travel). Price seems OK too. I am not used to anything in particular yet (conventional handle reel), so I can learn “new” ...
But I wonder if it is a in practice really useable reel... I.e. with light on Goodman handle, soft or hard, this reel could only be used holding it in the other hand ... or?***
Could you offer some wisdom?
Is this an inherent bothersome flaw? Or a non issue because ...?
2.)
I get the use case for 400’ reels (and larger if needed).
I get the uses for jump reels and spools (cookies) etc.
What are 200’ or 250’ reels meant to be for?
*** bonus question:
DIY Light holder integrated into this OMS smart reel “soft-handle-loop” ... (bear in mind, I ask from a point of view rooted in inexperience)... that seems not very practical - or could it be practical?
