50m all stainless, goodman handled scooter reel from Kent Tooling.
Had various, now have this. It's the best I've ever used.

Stu.
Thanks everyone. The McMahon and Kent Tooling seem to be the favourites. As usual, the answers reveal yet more questions

I imagine most of my usage will be with a delayed-SMB. So, should I go with a rachet style (McMahon) or a friction bolt (Kent Tooling). Heheh... and if I go with the McMahon, should I get the big or the compact one. Likewise, if I get the Kent Tooling reel, is the extra bulk of the goodman handle worthwhile?

What are the pro's and con's of each?

Cheers,
Bryan
