Larry the reel works fine but much heaver than the Solo reel. It has a better drag and a free spool button but the handles are too large and get in the way I will see if I have a smaller set off another reel to fit. Also it doesn't balance out like the Solo reel on the same pole. I will also try it out on a pole with a reel seat in the middle of the handle and see how that works. It's hard to beat a Solo and bottom reel seat for pitching in shallow water or fishing tops.
