They fit but the groove is in a different place and wont fit when one or other
wears. This means it will only work with two hands, not the best of options.

Ok for the pool, but wouldnt chance it open water.

Buddy is straight with two flanges either end and no knurling (cross-cuts
in the metal).

Scubapro one is either pretty lumpy with 3 large rings, or a generic one
that has knurling on the end.

Get someone to show you the Buddy one.

Great Choices But...
I`ve just sold my custom divers pocket reel because its a great little reel, well constructed(bombproof) , fits neatly into a leg pocket and it reels out beautifully. The only problem is when you start to reel in from more than say 20m! Its just far too small and fiddly. I made allowances for it dive and dive again but then I eventually had to give it up.
Great little reel but I bet you will get sick of it unless you only plan to do less than 20m dives!
Hope this helps
Matt
