Great videos keep up the good work. Great explanations
Hey Brian, I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to mark my spool line at 10' intervals for measuring distance underwater. I have tried different markers, and they either aren't visible underwater or the marking simply wash off. If I tie knots in the line they can't be rolled back onto the spool. any advice?
I set my reel up per your tutorial awesome stuff, your work is much appreciated
Thanks a ton for the thorough tutorial. VERY helpful!
Hello. I couldn't find the video where you show what you do with the excess line that you cut off. Please share the link. Thank you
Love the detailed step by step. Easy to follow and great how-to tips. Thanks a lot!
Beauts!!! Did this recently. Makes it a better tool for me. Thanks
Mate, thank you so much for that informtion.
The Apeks lifeline spools are very well made. They are made out of one piece of aluminum, high vis very strong line – not normal cheap shite, comes with a SS swivel and double ender
A hotknife works a lot better than a lighter for stifffening the rope ends
Excellent and thank you.
THAKS THIS HELPED!
Great video, great advice. Thank you.
Great video, but maybe put a second small loop in the Big Loop first as another YouTube video shows ! Thank you for the video ! tjl
Personally, I don't like that way of setup, because ur SMB should be ready to go in a possible emergency situation, where u don't have that time to de- and connect all that stuff together. In my mind, u should always keep the reel of the SMB fixed to the SMB self. Best regards, Skip. Polary.
Good hints, thx!
Great video … thanks
I typically just add a knot at 15 feet. But I like the swivel idea so the line doesn't twist.
Good video
Great video Bryan! Have you seen the video below showing an alternative and more secure way of clipping the bolt snaps into the loop of line? Great way to shorten the length of line between the double ender and the reel which is great for snag hazards, as well as ensuring that the line can't pull out if the slide on the bolt opens up a little bit

Great tip about the swivel at safety stop depth! An extra idea that I like is small piece of heat shrink tube over the small loop. Stiffens it up and makes poking it through the holes on the spool a lot easier.
Great instruction. Going out ocean diving for the first this summer and this part of what i need to learn before then.
