I agree with Shorthood. I had a hand crank 100' cox reel. It worked fine for about a month then it was all I could do to crank it. I now us an old lead reel that I hook & unhook with quick connects. Its not the greatest setup but, it hasn't failed me in 2 years. Which is worth a lot.
If I had the space for it, I would own a Tidweld.
