Questions & Answers
This is an excellent fishing kayak anchor for lakes and rivers with a slow to moderate current. It's also a lot safer than the obscene spool of anchor line I used to keep under my seat.
When reeled in, it does not click.
It could be used to retrieve a magnet, but winding it would be extremely difficult. Mine is for my 3 pound dog. I have to wind up the rope after pulling the kayak anchor up by hand.
Manual. It can be unwound in two different tensions.

This is where I anchor my kayak. I'd had enough of dealing with the line strewn about, so now I can simply reel it in! The line that comes with it appears to be adequate, but I am unable to raise the anchor using the reel knob. I get the anchor up by grabbing the line and pulling it into the kayak, then reeling it all in. I marked the line with sharpie every 5 feet so I could use it as a depth finder. Excellent product. I would buy from you again!.
I bought this to replace a much more expensive and heavier reel, and it arrived very quickly. I'm already happy with how much lighter it is. Mechanically, I believe it is well-designed and built! My old reel had a tendency to get tangled up in the line. This reel's case cover appears to prevent this, which is a fantastic feature. The line lock appears to be solid, and in my opinion, superior to the line lock on my other, more expensive reel. I'm not a fan of the carabiner that comes with it; instead, invest in a marine-grade bolt snap. Overall, I'm very excited and can't wait to try it out.
This isn't something we use for scuba. When we go hiking, we use it to tie our dinghy to trees and rocks. Because the tides in Alaska are so high, we always have at least 50 feet of rope to tie our dinghy to the beach. The rope, on the other hand, becomes tangled every time. This dive reel is durable and simple to reel in and release without tangling. We can also go ashore in places where we couldn't with a shorter rope because it's 150 feet long.
This was bought to serve as a kayak anchor reel. It was delivered in good condition. I expected it to be bigger, but it turned out to be smaller. Despite the fact that it could only hold 50' of 550 paracord, I intend to keep it and use it for depths of 15' or less (a local lake I frequent is only this deep) in order to comply with safety regulations that require 3x the line length per foot of water depth. I'll give it four stars overall because I'm not sure how long it will last. I've recently purchased a trotter. For $4, you can get a line reel that can hold up to 100 feet of paracord for use in more remote areas. Despite this, the build quality appears to be adequate for this purpose.
On my kayak, it's perfect for a small anchor line. Line has a lot of power. In about 24 feet of water, I used this as a kayak anchor. When I went to pull anchor, I discovered that it was extremely difficult to get my anchor to release. The anchor finally let go, and a quarter-ton of weeds sprang up with it. It is strongly suggested.
This is how I made my kayak anchor rig! It's very handy and simple to use!.
Because I had loaned my other wreck, I needed a quick wreck feel for my dive. As a primary reel, this isn't the best option. The string, like the rest of the plastic, is inexpensive. It'd be ideal for deploying safety sausages from a distance, but that's about it. Spend the money on a genuine diving wreck reel from a local dive shop.
On my kayak, I use it as an anchor line. It keeps everything tidy so I don't have anchor lines all over the place. It's ideal for use with an anchor trolley.
