Just imagine buying one reel you can use for many different types of dives. Our reels allow you to adjust the tension by simply turning the tension adjustment knob. You have complete control of your own tensioning. You can set the tension to a light drag for normal line operation or adjust to a hard drag for lift bag deployment. If you prefer not to use the tension adjustment, you can set it to no drag.
Cave divers prefer to use the two-finger method versus tension.
An example would be deploying a lift bag. When the lift bag hits the surface and the line stops deploying, the spool will stop spinning instantly and automatically prevent backlash. This makes up the spool module assembly with the desired line length and strength plus the winding knob. The spool module assembly is attached to the frame by screwing the spool module into the stainless steel tension disk on the frame. We supply extra modules, rope, small and large winding knobs, small and large tension knobs.
