How about the ARP9 ? I'd gladly rent it off of Mr. Beranek. I bet he'll want to hold onto it though.

Hope he does not copy it and make a million selling them.

ARP9's will be the cat's meow that sells like hotcakes, count on it.
I gotta find the best saltwater reel with the widest range of drag settings.
The dang reel's gonna cost more than the pistol itself.
I don't trust some of that cheapo stuff in Walmart.....

I'm far from a cat lover, but the grey one is pretty cute.

So my research into high drag set saltwater reels tells me that 30 lbs is the max available.
Which may be fine for some climbers, but not me.
Total control's the name of the game, and wimpy drag settings ain't conducive to achievin it.
My mantra's always been that problems are opportunities to make money by solving them.
So incorporating a means of totally locking down the cord feeding through the ARP's the obvious answer short of modifying the fug out of a wonderfully engineered reel.
I can feed that line through as many or few champhered n polished 1/4 inch holes as needed, and between those holes it'd be relatively simple to devise a rubber jawed clamp down mech, much like mini grip pliers, using compound leverage.
Looks like the ARP9's gonna have two triggers and a lockdown lever folks!

Finally found a lightweight, well under two pound ARP for the Bermster Girl.
It's just that I didn't make the brilliant bloody thing!
Some hay chuckin cowboy in the 60's did!
Only fifteen fuggin bugs!
Made in the USA, Columbus Nebraska!
I'm melting!
Called a Flipo Hay Hook, thumb activated release.

latest update on the Jomo wrist saver
The prototype, which had underwent much changes during its early developmental stages, is in my possession. Thank you, John!
I must say, "It is a real work". Created by hand, by way of vise, hacksaw and file. With boltar fastenings, springs actions, leavers and traps. Oh my! So much thought and complexity went into this device. Much more that a mere simple image can portray
Aside for need of a few bearings for line guides the device would only need further design in the retrieval of the line.
They say, "Necessity is the mother of invention". John truly set the example with the thought and hard work that went into this unique device.
Now, whether it is practical is a matter of opinion, but one can not deny it is a true work of art in its own right.
It should be in the Smithsonian in the Americana archives.
Thank you so much, John
