Description
MGE Divers SMB Ratchet Reel is a development of the popular MGE standard Divers SMB reel, a great general purpose reel, ideal for use with SMB’s for drift diving as well as deploying a delayed SMB on a wreck dive! The MGE reel can also be used for some basic line laying on wrecks. The ratchet version allows reeling against a ratchet making locking off the reel easier. Made from a durable robust plastic the MGE reel is without doubt the most rugged reel we have used in our Centre!
The MGE Ratchet Reel has a clever but simple rotating control mechanism which allows a left or right handed user to easily switch between the 4 multi-function modes:
€¢ Clockwise ratchet.
€¢ Anti-clockwise ratchet.
€¢ Free flow mode is used for deploying SMBs.
€¢ Full-lock mode to provide tension for safety or decompression stops.
What€™s more, the centrally located control mechanism is designed for use with either hand, making this model more versatile than thumb trigger designs.
