he MANTA reel is the result of the long research and development It owes its name to the horizontal position as it maneuovers in the water like the majestic manta ray. But this reel has dual mounting positions, so can be used as either a horizontal or a vertical style reel.

It has excellent quality construction, operation and mounting system and the automatic brake release allows control of the flow of resistance, for the correct and safe unwinding of lines. The materials, the unique innovative way of mounting and well thought out, elegant design, ensure the longevity, even with hard and frequent use.

This stainless steel reel is tough and highly durable, making it suitable for any kind of spearfishing and even for the most demanding user. The MANTA exploits to the maximum the size relationship to line capacity, as the drum has a perforated plastic shaft and customised open design metal spool. The result low weight, volume and size according to the reel’s capacity, while allowing easier cleaning and faster drying of the reel line, to minimise deterioration of line.

The base of the reel is made of marine grade stainless steel, CNC laser cut and formed using special jigs. The reel can be placed in a horizontal position eliminating the distance of the spool in relation to the barrel. The design of the base allows easy installation onto most spearguns, either horizontally or vertically. It also offers incomparable aesthetics and ideal static stiffness, with minimum weight.

The base assembly is riveted, so there are no outside protrusions to cause problems, with two axle spacers placed at strategic points around the drum any chance of tangling of the line outside of the spool. Additionally, the release function does not include screws, allowing the reel to work without any conversion, either clockwise or counterclockwise.

The winding lever can be slid in and out, to limit centrifugal forces and can be varied, depending on the radius of movement desired by the user. The lever is made of stainless steel for strength and durability. This lever is globally unique - acting also as a regulator of flow resistance. The patented system does not contain any O-rings, bolts or threads, which with frequent friction and hard manual use, very quickly become ineffective and eventually don’t work. The lever is not just a common folding lever pivot, but a reliable resistance regulator for excellent performance and longevity. The lever can be slid to adjust resistance during unwinding, when the automatic brake has already released the spool. When one wishes to install the reel vertically the lever can be used in any position without converting the spool.

All components have superbly finished smooth edges and the reel comes in 4 sizes to fit any size speargun for all spearfishing applications. The innovative design, assembly and operation of the reel are patent and legally safeguarde . Any change or modification with respect to the shape, size, dimensions, materials of construction and assembly, a variety of application fields, if not a new inventive step and is not conducive to the technique already known is considered a portion of the aspirations of the present invention.
