It's a Steez handle with RCS cork knobs and the original star drag which was slightly bent to fit the handle.Moosehead wrote:What drag star and handle is that?

Re: Show us your Sol
The best way to bend those tines back is to start with the star on the reel. Put a piece of electrical tape folded over the tine. Take an adjustable wrench and slide it up to where the tip is about even with the narrowest part. Tighten down the wrench until it is snug, then put slow steady pressure on it. Careful not to go too far, as it will hit the cc cap. I just did this last night on a Pixy.Moosehead wrote:I'll just get my brother in law to sit on it....he's got a little heft to him...
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Ok so I'll send you my star and a 5 dollar bill and will pay return shipping and you can get some more practice on mine...?

That's a fitting reel for the sunshine state. It looks like a solar flare!soulfisher wrote:

Thank you. One of my Sons is a nut about Orange so this was perfect for him. I ended up liking it so much that I am building another for me and my other righty Son to share.spencerinstl wrote:That is a lot of Orange on that reel. Very nice.
