We LOVE this reel! We have a heavy solar cover on our pool & it handles it like a breeze!

Hi Karen yes it might bunch a little? I have a 27ft by 16ft pool and you need two people to reel the cover up keeping it straight. Also if you have the choice go with a metal handle my plastic handles that attached to the pole broke. Good luck with your purchase.

Your solar cover should be fine. We have a 12 mil for a 16x28 pool. My 8 year old can roll it up and 12 yr old helps me lift it completely off when needed. If to a second post, my 8 yr old can do this too. Only recommendation is to buy a 'clip' or two for each end as the liner likes to unroll both at the same time. The aluminum rod is light weight but seems very strong.

It can.... just make sure you unreel the entire hose or it will swell up and jam your reel!

Check with the manufacturer. But, I have done it without a problem. Make sure there is a small overlap to ensure maximum coverage. Depending where you live the reel maybe a waste of money and time.

I wouldn't think so. With the hose filled with water, while on the reel, it would be a lot heavier than what the reel was designed to accommodate. The hose by itself would be alright, it's made of rubber.

it should but it will be a tight fit as for the reel that section is very roomy. i used a 9ft two piece rod had a lot of room allway had to shakemy other half out

It's big enough to do that with smaller rods and reels. But it will limit how many you can fit. I used it for saltwater gear and I had to take the reels off to make it work.

It will hold spinners in the proper position (reel down). There is a notch on the underside of the holder for the reels base to enter (under the opening where the rod slides in). However, some spinning reels might have a base that is too wide to actually lock in. Of course the opening could be widened with a dremel or something if a better fit is needed. I have a spinner that doesn't quite lock in but since there is a twist ring to hold the butt of the rod a little better, it's not a huge issue. I also use tethers on my rods in the event I roll my kayak or a fish pulls it out of the holder so I don't need it to be held only by the rod holder. Another issue is if you have rods with really long butts, is that the butt may stick out the back too far and hit your boat (in my case a kayak). When that happens, you need to change the angle so that everything fits correctly. I would highly recommend playing with the arrangement before you actually mount the rod holder. Put your equipment in the holder, check angles and mount points and ensure that it will work for what you want to do. They are very versatile but prior planning is the key. This is likely not a big issue if you're on a larger boat with tons of space. Hope that helps.

We have 100' of heavy duty 5/8" commercial-grade rubber hose on it, and it fits well. Not sure I would want any more, though. BTW, this is the only hose reel I've used with that hose that can easily handle the weight when rolling it up. The quality on it is better than anything I've ever found - and I'm an old guy that has had many, many hose reels.

This cover is not designed to support weighted items. It seems to handle normal snow loads ok but I would not tie or attach anything to the top of it.

These are great covers. Well made and plenty of protection. I wish I could be sure of the size of cover for you. I use the large because my reals are the largest bait runners. I believe the mid size will suit your spinning reel. I hope this helps. You might like to visit Bass Pro for a hands on before you purchase.

It really depends how protected from the wind you are. There are some "elastic" type sinchers at the bow and stern, but I would not feel 100% confident. I only use it when towing or winter storage, and I strap the cover to the trailer. I would not recommend it. It is a pretty good fit, but definitely not custom, leaving room for wind to get underneath it and whip it around, especially when not tied down. Hope that helps.

It will hold it, but certainly wasn't designed for that. The inside has two slots which separate the poles pieces to avoid damage to the rod, so you would have two pieces per slot. Also, this case is quite long which you also do not need with 2 1/2 ft. sections. I bought this for a two piece 8' rod which was overkill in terms of length, so you will have lots of extra room at the tip of the case. Won't hurt anything, but way too long of a case for your needs.

I found the part not to my liking. It would tighten slack but it would also not be able to be reeled in. I do not use it.

It should without any trouble. it has rubber jaw covers. I hold fishing hooks in it to tie fly's.

I own 5 of these rod holders and use them with spinning reels frequently. The reels will be facing down as they normally position below the rod when holding it in your hand. Various lengths of the rod butts also work fine in mine.

I have had it for 3 months now and so far it's held up to everything i have put it through. I did write a crappy review on this because i had to finish assembling it on arrival. but i got over it, and the reel is fine. just secure the inlet line swivel piece with a ziptie or something because if you have excess hose leading up to the reel its gonna try and wrap up your excess due to the tolerances being so tight. good news is it doesn't leak. Hope this helps, have a good day

The Medium cover. I have a 4000 model reel in my med. cover & it fits great!
