I bought three solo reels and have enjoyed using them, however I am having a problem. Somehow the line is slipping through the joint on the bottom where the two sides come together. Has anyone else had this problem? It has been happening two or three times a trip. I have loosen the knob and separate the side a little to slip the line back through.
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

I have experienced the same problem. Haven't been able to figure out how to prevent it.
