Re: Show us your Sol
Somewhere I have a photo of a Sol I took on of my Brazil fishing trips with an equally orange butterfly that landed on the reel. I'm pretty certain I posted here many years ago.

Re: Show us your Sol
Nice find brand spanking new. While all the sols on this thread are super sexy in their unique ways, I’m digging the bone stock look caping it off so far. That simple straight handle in gun metalish color has a bold look to it that’s hard to beat for my taste buds.chrisg_sdcf wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 1:15 amAfter looking through this thread I decided I needed to find one for myself. Hopefully it will look like some of your modified ones soon. Really like the purple spools and cork knobs (maybe carbon fiber handle who knows).
Anyway here it is.

I like the simple look too. I just have to mess with things

Re: Show us your Sol
If you go swept, you will need to find a swept star, also, unless you manually bend the tines of the stock star.chrisg_sdcf wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 11:02 pmNeed some help deciding. Straight or swept carbon handle.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: Show us your Sol
Thanks for the tip. I've decided to go swept so I'll watch for a handle to show up for sale.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 6:21 amIf you go swept, you will need to find a swept star, also, unless you manually bend the tines of the stock star.chrisg_sdcf wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 11:02 pmNeed some help deciding.

Re: Show us your Sol
Thanks. It's the 6'9" (ML Regular) Seth feider jerkbait rod. It was a little too slow for what I wanted so I went with the megabass levante jerkbait special (alphas sv105 on it). Anyway I was thinking the elite would be good for lighter cranks or treble hook lures and the Sol gear ratio also would be good for that so I'm hoping it works out.

Re: Show us your Sol
I saw that. Thanks for telling me. I recently bought a spool from him, he's a good seller. I'd want different knobs thoughspencerinstl wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 3:02 pmviewtopic.php?f=7&t=82045chrisg_sdcf wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 11:40 amThanks for the tip.
