Jump/Gap Reel
#RE4250
DISCONTINUED: June 1, 2011
The Jump/Gap Reel is used to make a connection between two permanent guidelines in a cave or to jump from the main line to offshoot lines. It comes with 50-feet of durable braided #24 line and a medium stainless bolt snap. The "no handle" design makes it easy to carry multiple reels for complex dive planning where multiple line gapping is required. The Jump/Gap Reel is ideal for use in high flow cave systems where it can be paid in/out very quickly versus plain spools. The reel spool is held in place with a stainless steel "C" clip so replacing the spool or cleaning up a jammed reel is simple.
- DuPont fiber braid line provides strength and minimizes fraying.
- Cave reels use #24 braid line giving 220-lbs of breakage strength.
- Injection molded polycarbonate spools resist breakage and cracking.
- Marine grade stainless steel frame and axle are corrosion resistant.
- Marine grade stainless steel bolt snap is corrosion resistant.
- T-top lockdown screw for easy grip
- 12 oz (340g)
- Before diving with a new reel (or a dry reel that has been in storage), put the reel in a bucket of water and after soaking, pay out the entire length of line and reel it back in. This will moisten the line, precluding it from swelling on the reel and further preventing the possibility of jamming or damaging the spool.
- As with most dive equipment, you should rinse your reel with fresh water following each dive. You should also periodically disassemble the reel, and remove any build up of salt or sediment on its internal parts.
- Dive Rite recommends pulling some or all of the line off the spool before each dive, then rewinding it neatly but not too tightly, so as to prevent the possibility of jamming during line deployment.
- Finally, too much line on the spool can cause jams during initial deployment, if you are having a problem [continued]
with jams try removing 10 or 15 feet of line.
