A twistless cable deployment apparatus is provided for deploying cable. The apparatus includes a level winder that can be joined to a winch. The level winder is in a fixed position relative to the cable winch. The level winder has a non-rotating fixed spool that stores the cable by wrapping the cable around the spool. A rotating base is disposed coaxially with the fixed spool and rotates around the axis of the fixed spool. A post is mounted on the rotating base, and a traveler is slidably mounted on the post. A traveling guide eye is joined to the traveler. By rotation of the rotating base, cable is deployed from the fixed spool. A primary guide eye can guide the cable to the winch.
