Naaa, I got if for a buck at a auction. It used to be used for reeling in 
some kind of net on the back of a fishing boat. Usually you clip the reel 
to your body, well with this baby you clip your body to the reel! I use a 
4000lb lift bag with this unit, and I rent it to Pippin when he's doing 
those record dives (where did YOU think the line came from?). It uses 3/4 
inch steel cable which, as you know, is biodegradable.

When you have to shoot an emergency up-line I fire up a couple of airline 
emergency oxygen generators and shove them in the bag. You know, I 
recently ordered a couple of dozen of those generators, but for some 
reason the shipment never got to me. That's the last time I let my 
buddies down at the terminal smuggle stuff on airplanes to save on 
shipping, sheeze!
