Scubamax hand Reel for rope

Buy on Amazon

This reel is really well built. It does not have a clutch for releasing the line while you dive with both hands free. The thumb stop is easy to use, but you have to hold it open for the line to unreel. The line does not go back on uniformly and evenly.

This reel is a little squeaky and stiff to reel up out of the box. The reel guide prevents string from tangling. The reel, while inexpensive, is quite durable. These are great for towing the dive flag.

Why We Like This:

Works great after adjusting thumb switch
Very tight to pull the string out at first
Love that you can release line by simply pushing a leaver

Divesafe Scuba hand Reel for rope

Buy on Amazon

This diving reel works great for holding anchor rope ( 550 para cord for a kayak. It is used for many other things besides diving reels, holding yarn, holding anchor line on yaks etc. The reel is plastic and hard to reel up a 10lb kayak anchor. It doesn't float, but it's pretty light so it also doesn't sink very fast. The reel back lashes easily so when you drop it keep your thumb on it.

The reel is pretty small and it's tough to pull an anchor in with it alone, but it does a great job at keeping things tidy. The reel is easy to use and the brake gives you better line control. These are a good way to manage anchor line for a very small boat.

Why We Like This:

Great for using with a kayak anchor
Good design with a nice locking feature
Good brand reputation
