The new industry standard for electric reels now uses the universal clips.
A crafty person can rig up their own direct plug in type of cord by purchasing a few items from your local hardware store.
You can use a standard 10 or 12awg 2 strand electric cord and wire it direct to the battery. The other end can be wired to the female extension cord socket.
The cord from the reel will wire into the male extension cord plug.
Be sure to get a plug and socket that are polarized since you don't want to reverse the polarity on your reel.
If this is too confusing, I can make a sketch and post it for you.
I use this on several of my electric reels. The nice part is that I can plug any of them into the same receptacle that I made and not need to hassle with clips.[cool]
