I am in no way affiliated with the online store hosting the page, or Tica. My original post may have sounded as if I was doing the sales pitch thing, sorry about that.
I just think that this is a pretty darn interesting design for a reel, WITH A HANDBRAKE! I have never seen anything like this before.
