Please note, the Solo is not one of those cheap plastic crappie reels that sell for 5 bucks. This is a well thought out reel, it has anti reverse bearing, and a drag in case you hook up to a lunker, and it's very light. I have one mounted on a rear reel seat pole and it's a great combo,it's so light it seems like it doesn't have a reel on the pole. Just my added 2 cents, and I'm not associated with Wally in any way.
