I am trying to find a way to cast out a grappling hook attached to a 50' long, 5/32" diameter paracord line (tested at 550 lbs.) and make it so I can reel it back in to a circular thing at my side. Fishing reels won't work, and I'm pretty sure fly wheels are just the same. All I want to do is throw it out, and be able to crank it back in, and be able to neatly store it like that, but be able to cast it out again without having to take out the length I need. Something that works like a fishing reel, but can hold that size of rope. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
How can I retract a grappling hook line?
Cave divers use what you're describing so they don't get lost. Here's one link but you would have to call to find out which ones attach to a belt.

Reply:wench. you could opt out for 1/4 cable.
down side it wont fit on your belt.and you'll have to pull it out of the reel.
Reply:Perhaps go to an electrical supply store. They have small spools used for cable and wire that you may be able to slightly modify. For just a 50 foot length may find what your seeking.
Also look in a plumbing supply store. They have retractable reels used for storing
metal lines used for cleaning out drains.
Good luck
