Actually use this for what it's intended

Not exactly sure why this thing has 2 reviews from a non-diver (once before he even owned it) but that's alright. This thing works great, best reel I've ever used. Extremely sturdy and the line tensioner is smooth and functional.

Tidy line storage for antenna launcher

I bought this to control leader line for placing amateur radio antenna wire into trees. It is attached under a slingshot as a place to store line attached to a lead weight that is shot over a tree limb. I am using the sturdy black line that came with the reel but found that it will not spool out using a two-ounce weight, so I have to manually pull out line before use. Overall, I am happy with this reel as a compact storage unit and it is quick to pack the line away after use. The adjustable drag and retractable handle are nice features. The supplied black line is strong enough to allow a stout pull when it gets caught on a branch.

If you want to shoot big fish, you need a reel. A large fish can pull your spear gun right out of your hand when it gets shot. The fish will begin to sound and when it does the fishes strength can take you for a ride. If you are not on Scuba this could become a problem very fast without a reel. Omer's Match Reel is a half-enclosed reel available in 2-versions: 100' or 165' (30 or 50 meter) 0.6" (1.5mm) thick line capacity. The reel comes equipped with a spring operated extendable winding knob to reduce the reels profile for low drag when on the hunt. Reel also has a steel sliding line guide for even and smooth line pay out and rewinding.

The durable plastic spool has two bushes which eliminate the friction on the spool shaft. The movement of standard plastic reels is usually very rough. The problem is that the plastic spool rotates on a plastic shaft and this plastic on plastic situation creates friction, resulting in an uneven movement. Omer Sub has solved this problem on Match Reels by inserting two brass bushings on the body of the reel. The movement is made plastic on metal resulting in a perfectly smooth rotation of the spool. The Match Reels are equipped with a classic standard friction which holds the reel in a locked position. In addition, the reels also feature a drag system which keeps the line in tension even when the friction is completely open.
