Chris the owner of Kolliou Tackle & locksmiths spooled up my newly purchased 'New Old Stock' Daiwa Sealine 400H deep sea reel - Chris uses a line spooling machine 'Made in the USA' it has a hand guided roller to guide the line onto the spool, it also can add various tension to the line -

Now, you can try deep waters. I do have an old Mitchell that I used for it. But believe me, more than 80 m deep you will suffer a lot if not using an electric reel. Mainly if retrieving with one or two good fishes in the other side.

You can't do it even with small electrics. One need a really big electric. But its a kind of fishing I don't know, seems so much effort, so much money just to take some deep sea rare fish. Maybe a beach fishing in a sunny warm day be better and relaxing.

^^ As i already mentioned, most of my deep drop fishing is 30 - 50m, i consider 70m very deep for hand reel. But i find 40 to 60m very manageable to fish, i target Snapper, Gummy's, reef fish etc..
