So I picked up a Carter SS25 Personal Floats Safety Sausage Tubes with manual inflate and OPV.

I have a delrin finger spool with 60' of line. The (immediate) intended use is on St Lawrence drift dives. The (future) intended use is salt water drift dives. Is this enough, or should I be prepared to shoot from deeper and so use a larger spool?

TIA
 
Drift diving palm beach you will probably be able to inflate 25 pound bag from 40 ft or so. Remember the current. You don't want to shoot from 60 ft with 60 ft of line.
I like to shoot from the bottom so I use a Manta reel with about 185 ft of line. I've often seen reels and spools pulled from hands.
