    I carry a 150' spool, plus 1 more spool (usually just a 75 footer) than I plan to use during the dive.

    Two 150' safety reels, one in each pocket. You never know what may happen when on a rebreather......

    150ft spool knotted every 5 ft
    a 2nd 100ft spool
    spools for any jumps

    in select cases where I know a jump is really long, a 200 or 400ft reel.

    Same.
    It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.

    2 150' safeties. I prefer spools over reels.
