Thread: Solo reels.

Dunno.....I have had no problem out of mine. These reels are just jigging pole reels only made for just line storage.

That's all I am using them for. I love them, other than this one problem.

Tiger I bought 6 of them and love them haven't had any problem so for.

I have been waiting for a little better quality reel of that kind. Use to use those plastic ones. Seems like the solo is going to do the trick. Just that one issue

Yep

I see that about once every other trip now, and have learned to muscle the line back the way it went in. The real is so good I can tolerate that flaw.

I'm wondering though if they should be greased every so often. Mine go in the water often as that's the easiest way to get to a tangled rod tip sometimes. One of them seems to turn a little rough and I've been meaning to hunt down the proper lube.
