Abstract: A reel for retrieving and discharging a line has more than one hub for storing the line. The hubs are concentrically aligned with a dividing plate captured between them and a radial slot in the plate with which the line can be transferred between the hubs as it is retrieved. Means for steadying the reel structure against the body of the operator and handles for rotating the reel are provided so the assembly may be manually operated with either hand.
