Solo reels
I bought three solos and really like them. Much better quality than the plastic ones I have been using. However I am having one issue and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. The line slips between the split on the bottom of the reel, where the two sides join. This happens two or three times a trip. It is not hard to fix, just loosen the side nut and pull the line back through.
Has anyone figured the cause of this, and devised a fix? Other than this, I love the reels. Thanks.

Using 4 lb vicious and I haven't had problems either. Maybe look for a small crack or something allowing it to do this. Line can do some crazy things that seem impossible but theres always a reason just do some close inspection

I use 10# test. If 4# or braid is not slipping through on ya'll, then there is definitely something different about mine. I have really only used one of my three enough to judge. Maybe the others are fine, still enjoying the reel. Thanks

Can u explain that a little better. I just got 2 and haven't used them yet. The handle is on the left side correct? I thought I read some where that it was reversible. Mine is not. The line is suppose to come off the bottom of the spool ,correct?Originally Posted by Kman

No! Its not supposed to come off the bottom, that creates a huge angle in the line that gets hung on everything. It MUST come off the top of the reel and be straight in line with your eyes. That is the problem. Fix that and the issue goes away.

If you make it come off the top you have to wind backwards to get line in.

That angle allows you to hold the line in your finger. At least that's the way I run mine anyways and it works great I can feel everything that way
