I'm thinking about getting a Sidewinder reel for work & personal diving.

Has anyone compared Piranha's tolerances with Light Monkey, DiveRite, or other comparable reels?

Other staff divers I'm with don't always have the best of line control when spooling and reeling. I've been guilty too when task loaded.
During some operations with line searches we often hand off reels. There are times I get it back tangled, so I'm looking for a gear solution to a skill problem until we can work on better line control.


I know sidewinders aren't fool proof, but you're less likely to tangle. Is Piranha built to pretty tight tolerances?
