Dive Rite Slide Lock reel

again???

Lol believe it or not I blame Chris. If you get out there it’s tied off at the base of the wreck below the tie in. We were already running late and I didn’t have much time to look.

I’m a big fan, I like the one handed operation and have never had them unlock accidentally. Mine have a shackle style bolt snap which is far superior to a double ender. I’m sure you would be happy with any higher end sidewinder style reel, there are tons of choices available. 250ft minimum for wreck diving.

Hell yeah, I blame Chris too.. for just about everything really!

I like mine. I had it comes loose twice, but that is less often than I've had thumb screw reels come loose.

I also dislike the switch to the double ender though I understand why. I just tie a bolt snap on the loop hole with some cave line.

This thread has reminded me I need to order some plastic thumb screws...this one is stainless and not happy with the dissimiliar metal thing.

FWIW I really like the reel, but I don't ever want to turn around and think that I've been attacked by Peter Parker again.

Hi,

I am in the market for a reel for wreck diving and came across the Slide Lock series by Dive Rite.
I think I like the one-handed operation to lock and unlock (video below).
Thanks!

I have 2 Manta reels that I really like. They are similar in the way they function but the Manta has a better design.
