Hi guys, I am looking for a good strong but light reel for my Deathstick, I have a Riffe Horizontal reel on my other wood gun and it is good but a tad heavy, I would like some of your ideas on a good reel for my 55inch deathstick, one that has at least 2 screws for added strength and a reel that is relatively light, any ideas and maybe links or picks? thanks.

is heaft your only issue w the Riffe? start w what you don't like or wish was different.
have you looked at the line up at a LDS, might also help you identify features

The ideal set up would be a Hammerhead Remora 50. I have that in one of my spearguns, light and tough.

Remora is a cool name for a reel.

For price/weight/performance basis, my favorite reel by far is the RA composite. :thumbsup2:
-
If you can get one a Maorisub Dentex is really good. It actually floats so it wont affect bouyancy and is not as easy to lock on you like other reels.

Lunker the weight is fine it's just that on a large euro130 gun it just adds a little more weight, but not a real problem, i was just interested in something different really, i like that RA Composite reel, thats a nice looking reel.

I use RA Composites on my Aimrite Venoms and Super Venom.

Another vote for the RA composite!

black1----I have and use 3 RA composite reels with 200f of 600lb QPowerline on each reel.
I have had to self repair 1 reel and had 2 reel/line lock ups only in over 130 days of spearin, which to me is a good record. I also like the fact that the RA reel is made by RA for the RA guns and that the reel/barrel mount is very easy and secure
seaweed prefers the Maorisub Dentex reel which looks like a very good reel but I was concerned that the company /dealers were more limited and that the Dentex looked more complicated than the RA. This is just my opinion without ever actually buying / using the Dentex -
Never had an issue with RA reels.
