North Florida cave diver, Woody Jasper, first invented the Explorer Reel around
1980.
As cave explorations were becoming longer, deeper, and more extensive a
reel was needed that could help an explorer make some serious penetrations into
a virgin cave system. Less likely to entangle than other reels on the market,
Woody's original reel was made of aluminum and a PVC spool.
The side-handle
style of the reel lent itself to exploration because it could easily switch from
hand to hand while laying out line. Twenty years later, sidewinder-style reels
were popularized in the technical diving community when DIR aficionados began
using them for paying out line in deep caves at high speed on a DPV. Our
Sidewinder series of reels are designed to be anti-jam by using precision
machine tolerances between the frame and the spool making it nearly impossible
for the line to slip between the spool and the handle.
