Newly designed advanced scuba reel by Third Reefers brings spring loaded control to your descent to the reef, penetration to a wreck, or exploration into a new branch of the cave system. Expertly crafted out of a heavy gauge aluminum frame, high density polyethylene spool and stainless steel hardware, this reel will last for years of undersea exploration. Easy control of line release is the huge advantage of this innovative spring loaded design. With a gentle squeeze of the handle during descent, line feeds off the spool in a controlled fashion and with release of the pressure on the handle the spool rapidly and securely locks preventing free spooling and line tangles. Each spool comes with 300 feet of line which can be attached to your hardware of choice depending on the specific use. The heavy duty lobster clasp on the side of the frame allows for daisy chaining reels for cave and wreck exploration or for attachment to your BCD via a floating line for your drift dives.
The line wasn't attached to the reel so even with just 5' of line out, the line would spin on the reel and spool out. I had to run it all out and attach it to the reel. Not the end of the world but a pain in the ass. Glad I tested it beforehand.
I think the throw on the "release trigger" is too short. I think it would be easier to keep the trigger depressed if the slot were 1/4" longer towards the frame. MI will be modding mine. None of the Manta reels I ever used had this issue.
All that said, The Manta was the best reel I have ever used as a Palm Beach Dive Guide. Getting a new Manta is a pain in the balls this is pretty much a Manta, so there ya go.
The best one I have used and I have been diving recreational and professionally since the 80s. Thank you
