Apeks - 120M Guide Reel

The Ultimate Primary Reel for Overhead Environments

When penetrating deep into a flooded cave system or navigating the twisting corridors of a shipwreck, your primary reel is your literal lifeline. The Apeks Lifeline Guide Reel is engineered specifically for the unforgiving demands of technical overhead environments. The body and spool are machined from impact-resistant Delrin® 100P (Acetal), ensuring the reel can withstand drops, impacts, and heavy abuse against rock and rusted metal without cracking or deforming. It comes pre-loaded with approximately 393 feet (120 meters) of highly visible, safety-orange #18 round braided polyester line, making it the perfect primary guide for extensive penetrations. Recognizing that technical divers often wear bulky thermal protection, Apeks equipped this reel with a large, ergonomically rubberized handle that guarantees a secure, non-slip grip even when wearing thick dry gloves or neoprene mitts.

FEATURES:

• Impact-Resistant Build: Constructed from ultra-durable Delrin® 100P to withstand the harshest cave and wreck diving conditions.
• Cold-Water Ergonomics: A high-grip rubberized handle and an oversized locking screw make operation effortless, even in thick technical dry gloves.
• Manual Tension Control: The dimpled friction plate allows for precise, thumb-controlled tensioning while laying out line.
• Ambidextrous Operation: Symmetrical design allows for easy right- or left-handed use depending on your equipment configuration and task loading.
• High-Visibility Line: Pre-loaded with ~393 feet (120m) of safety-orange #18 round braided polyester line that highly resists abrasion and rot.
• Tactile Line Terminus: Finished with a sewn leader loop, stop bead, and pull tab for intuitive handling in low-to-zero visibility.
