The unit features a fully enclosed glass-reinforced polymer body housing 90 m of high-visibility Dyneema floating line, with the enclosed design reducing the risk of snagging and bird’s-nest tangles.

A mechanical ratchet mechanism allows unidirectional winding of the line, locking the spool during retrieval. A thumb-operated lever switches between ratchet and free-running modes, with a lock-off feature securing the free-running mode without continual pressure. Audible ratchet clicks provide feedback during winding.

The new 40-metre line reel has been developed to make buoy handling more efficient, reliable and safe, offering divers a practical tool for use in a wide range of conditions. It is particularly well-suited for recreational divers who want equipment they can depend on.

Crafted from high-precision CNC-machined acetal and stainless-steel components, this reel mirrors the Azimuth's ergonomic, low-profile design. However, it preserves the distinctive “thumb flick” locking and unlocking mechanism from the original Slide Lock series.
