DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:Reel with Line and Brass Clip

The Manta Reel: The ultimate in dive reels with features unlike any other on the market today. Constructed from the highest quality materials, it's made to withstand the demands of today's advancing technical diver. Whether it's wreck or cave diving, search and-recovery or underwater surveying, the Manta Reel is the only reel. Manta's most popular reel, the JR is the perfect primary reel for all divers. Compact and loaded with practical features, the JR delivers peace of mind.

Designed for deployment of lift bags the Manta Junior Reel is constructed with all stainless steel hardware, the spool is machined out of one piece of UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) plastic. This plastic has one of the highest resistance's to the elements, and reel is supplied with either 185' (56.4 meters) of #30 nylon line or 250' (76.2 meters) of #24 nylon line.

The reels frame is anodized aluminum and the 3.25" (8.3 cm) bolt clip is made of brass for corrosion resistance. Reel is factory set for tension, yet it still has a diver adjustable tension control. The unique spring loaded AFS (Anti-Free Spool) system mechanically prevents free falling and free spooling of line which almost eliminates the chance of backlash or bird nesting. The reel is made in the USA and comes with a 60 month limited warranty.

      Comments about Manta Junior (JR) Reel:

      Used both in combination when doing penetration for wreck certification, and they were hassle free. There was no need to think about how to hold the light once I got them situated. The reel was easy to let out, and easy to reel back in. We added a clip to the end of the line to make tying off easier. We did take off about 50 ft of line to compensate for swelling when it got wet. And it fit quite well in my smaller hand.

          I bought this reel to dive a wreck where the visability 10 feet. It was easy to let out the line and easy to reel it back in. I bought the "#2 Swivel Brass Boat Snap, Like Dive Rite #1002" to attach to the end of the line and it worked great.

                  Comments about Manta Junior (JR) Reel:

                  Used for deploying safety sausage/safety stops and UW searches/wreck penetrations. Requires modification to address issue releasing line while hanging on stop due to lack of alternative handhold - spring release actuation occurs when hanging. Tried fitting with drawer pull handle and formed tubing on clip side. Settled on clipping into 2" seine ring at snap attachment.
