Hi All,
Looking at purchasing a first reel for launching an SMB at up to 60m (~200ft) depth. Was suggested to have one diving in current prone areas where we can drift a fair distance between 60m and 21m. Currently I only have a finger spool with 30m of line so I can only deploy at 21m.
Being my first reel I have a few questions.
Browsed the DGX website and noticed there's 2 main types, the classic and side handle? What's the main pro and cons of each? The classic handle looks like it can get "hooked" onto stuff if not careful about placement?
Besides that, there's all these different brands. Light Monkey, Dive Rite, Hollis etc... anyone has good experience with either one?
Thanks in advance for any recommendations and experience.
