Review on INCLAKE Capacity Diameter Industrial ARCTICSCORPION by Jorge Kehayas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not really suitable for 15mm rope

Considering the Arctic Scorpions warning about sticking to the pulley (see photo) they rate this pulley for 12mm rope, not 15mm -Rope. While I have no plans to return it, it limits the recommended rope size to less than 1/2 inch, which lowers the working load limit to 4000-5000lbs for most ropes. I was really hoping that I could use 5/8" line on this reel and get a workload benefit with a heavier gauge of rope, but I'm not sure if this reel is rated for that. The 26,000lb rating is way too high for a reel that won't fit on a larger line. The pulley itself is very well made and most likely made for Amsteel steel wire or rope, not polydacron or any other type of rope I will be using.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some minor issues
