Sidewinder Primary Reel

The original sidewinder-style reel as designed by legendary cave diver, Woody Jasper.

Inspired by cave exploration in the 1980s, the Dive Rite Sidewinder Primary Reel combines a low profile design with an easy-to-use configuration. By placing the handle on the side, the Sidewinder Reel makes switching hands easy while laying line.

Dive Rite Sidewinder reels are designed to be anti-jam using precision machine tolerances between the frame and spool, making it nearly impossible for the line to slip between the spool and the handle. The frame is constructed of aircraft grade hardcoated aluminum, providing extra protection against corrosion. Updated to be compatible with Dive Rite’s exclusive QRM system, the Sidewinder series of reels include mounting holes in the frame for the QRM striker (sold separately). Available in a #24 thickness line (400-feet) or #36 thickness line (250-feet), Dive Rite reels use DuPont fiber braided line that provides strength and minimizes fraying. Includes marine-grade stainless steel double bolt snap.
