Description: Only 7.5cm in diameter by 5cm deep - the new BUDDY Pocket Reel is the perfect solution to the problem of bulky and cumbersome SMB/Navigation reels. Weighing in at only 205g the Pocket Reel can be easily stowed in your BCD pocket or clipped unobtrusively to a D Ring. The dome-sided design sits comfortably in the palm of the hand and a simple press-release /auto-lock-action spring mechanism is ideally placed for thumb operation. Alternatively- the spring can be removed so that the thumb catch has a lock-on/click-off release action- if preferred. The Pocket Reel also features a comfort-padded strap with toggle adjustment for tightening onto the wrist when used as a navigation reel.
