[PSUBS-MAILIST] automatic spool

[James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Mark,

Its this one.
http://www.pfluegerfishing.com/pflueger-reels-fly-reels/pflueger-automatic-fly-reel/1280270.html

You wind up the return spring with the black wheel that's almost the same
diameter as the body.  The lever thing is the trigger that starts it
winding in.  Also you can release the spring with the centre metal
wheel.   The trigger will need locking in place to auto return.

It seems to work ok (in the garden) but unsure of its use in water.  Also I
don't think it will last long in the sea even though its sort of
stainless.  Probably be ok in fresh water.

I think the best thing would be to just have a reel of some sort and a
through hull handle to wind it in.  But that's the problem for me, no
through hulls available.

Regards
James
