still available on the market they're commonly uh marketed as deep drop reels Bandit reels uh what else do they call them [Music] yeah they're sold up here as a catch MAC but a very simple operation um 12 volt motor in this case but they also come in 24 volt Motors you just have a drum with your line on it it's a fiberglass drum I think they also make them in aluminum for different applications the deeper you go the more tension there's going to be on this reel so you have to Beef It Up um super simple operation this is just a clutch so you loosen this up the line comes out you tighten it up you're good to go switch for your motor and uh just pulley Drive which gives it a gear reduction and then it also has a handle here that you can use it's got really heavy setups and you want to give it a little extra help or if you have a problem with your motor you could still retrieve your line easily so yeah we've had these guys for a long time uh 20 plus years they're pretty Bulletproof they're not the fancy computerized dngs that do the work for you but uh but they do work well I've always had good luck with them very robust very robust and Bulletproof not much that can go wrong
