Well, my getting a new Daiwa Sol II is out of the question, at least until my birthday rolls around. I picked up a used Sol for a song and have enough funds left for a fairly nice rod.  I really don't  know what it is about these reels, but my boat's deck is going to look awesome with three combos on the port side all with that purty gold reel on 'em.

Daiwa is making Sols again?  Nice reels, but I prefer my Fuegos for some reason.  What techniques do you use your Sols for?

I like my Sol. Then again it's basically an orange PX Type R. 

I havent got my hands on a sol yet, but ive had the alphas, alphas type f, and alphas ito. Really sweet reels.

You've had your hands on a Sol then, just paler versions with better handles. I've had a Sol and have a Type F, the F feels nicer to me.

I've got a surprise coming soon here I think. . . then I'll take a Daiwa family portrait.

 

Also on topic, the clicking drag upgrade for the Alphas is so worth it.

I need to add more Alphas to my arsenal, now I need a Rosso and a Hedgehog.
