Dear all, after jettisoning my reel + smbi the other day due to not quite locking the release down I figured that I need a backup of sorts if for some reason my buddy is unavailable or has no SMB.
So my question is what do you recommend as a backup in terms or a reel or safety spool (I already have a backup smb).
My thoughts are a backup reel could be smaller than my primary but would have to be clipped on somewhere adding more bulk.
A safety spool could be stowed in my pocket with the backup smbi and could also be used for other things (like wreck penetration etc) however I'm not sure about deploying an SMBi on a safety spool with my finger as the axle!
What do you all do?
Thanks,
Gareth.
