Rating: Just what I needed
Reviewer: Christina Wright, Monday, September 21, 2009 - View all my reviews
I bought this reel and line to attach to my dive flag float. Its perfect! It was easy to attach, the reel is clearly visible underwater in low viz, and it doesnt get tangled when rewinding. I would recommend it to anyone for this or similar purpose.

Rating:  Good beginner reel
Reviewer: Dino S., Friday, May 29, 2009 
Bought this for my first reel. The line on it is relatively small and feels a little flimsy. It freespools easily and hasnt tangled yet at all. Just need to get a brass clip to attach to my BC. Ill probably respool with heavier line to make it a bit more versatile. Otherwise, its a good reel. Plastic doesnt feel weak or thin.

Rating: 031488 Scubamax Reel 150 foot
Reviewer: Charles E H., Friday, April 10, 2009
I mistakenly purchased this thinking Id use it to launch my safety sausage at my 15 to 20 foot safety stop. It is too cumbersome for that purpose and Ive gone back to a simple reel. That said, the Scubamax reel will be fine for towing my diver below tube.

Great reel for the price. Separate switches for free spool or drag. Even comes with a clip which is worth at least $3. No better reel for the price! Get two or three for Christmas/dive buddy gifts at the low price.

Rating: Okay for the money
Reviewer: Michael Ewer, Saturday, June 21, 2008 - View all my reviews
Used this reel on a recent weeks wreck diving trip to send up my DSMB. It is quite compact but cheaply made. The line is quite thin and showed signs of wear at the end of the week. I had to trim the base of the reels winder knob as it did not rotate freely when its securing bolt was tightened and consequently when you wound the reel the knob securing bolt unscrewed itself. All that said the reel survived the week ( 9 dives) and never let me down. In hindsight I would buy the reel with the longer line.

I have used this alot for searcging circle grids, sending me diver down marker to the surface, and sending markers to the surface. Its very compacr and the string is always where i know it wont tangle and respools easilt. It is definitely the real thing.

Rating: Best Reel on the planet!
Reviewer: Regina Tironi, Friday, July 13, 2007 - View all my reviews
Finger Spools? Forget it! More expensive spools made of metal? Dump them! THis is AWESOME! THe way this is designed you will not find your line getting loose from you! and the handle makes it easy to hold on to even with 5mm gloves on. Best purchase!

Rating: Great reel
Reviewer: David Patton, Tuesday, June 05, 2007 - View all my reviews
This is NOT a great reel for beginners that feel the need for a thick line. It IS a great reel for its small size, the thin but strong line for those a little more comfortable going into overhead environments. I did have to add a stainless steel clip though to clip it on to my BC without interfering or entangling. A very good reel for a good price.

Rating: MUST HAVE REEL
Reviewer: Valerie Simonson, Tuesday, May 08, 2007 - View all my reviews
THIS MAX REEL IS VERY LIGHT WEIGHT, IT HAS A REEL STOP ON IT AND A HANDLE TO WIND UP, SO IT IS REALLY HELPFUL AND YOU DONT STRESS OUT ON IF YOUR LINE IS CAUGHT ON ANYTHING! WE HAVE IT ATTACHED TO OUR DIVE MARKER FLAG AND AFTER USING SOME OF THE OTHER LINES THAT YOU HAVE TO SELF WIND WE WILL NOT GO BACK! WE HAVE BOUGHT A FEW AND HAVE ONE IN THE DIVE BAG ALL THE TIME AND ONE ON OUR PERSONAL BOAT! IT HAS MADE OUR DIVES EASIER AND WE CAN PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE SITE THAN WORRIED ABOUT THE LINE.
