I'm going to add an SMB to my kit (thanks to everyone for explaining the benefits to me) and was wondering what sort of spool/reel to get. My LDS mostly has only finger spools; the only reel (like a fishing rod) it has is pretty big.
One of the people at the shop showed me how to deploy and reel in the SMB using a finger spool, but it looked like a bit of a pain to lock and reel back in compared to the reel one of my dive buddies on my Galapagos liveboard had.
Any recos on whether to go with a finger spool or reel? Particular brand or model recommendations are also appreciated. BTW, I'll mostly be using this for 15' safety stops -- I don't think I'll generally be deploying it much deeper than that.
Thanks!
