will the 18 ft. reel hold a 16ml cover without sagging. Is the 12 with castors enough clearance from the ground.

Yes it seems to hold fine. My cover is 38' long and when rolled up it clears the ground Cover is 16 feet wide

Yes and yes - but I've had issues with it. First, the end without the crank rolls when you're taking the cover off. It will roll right into the pool. So I've ended up having to manually pull back the cover so there isn't so much tension on it. Second, the screws that hold the two tubes together have given out in only a few months. The set up I had at my previous house didn't have these issues - more expensive but worked much better. I'd pass on this if I had it to do over again.

It stays put pretty well. So long as the hose comes off the reel smoothly there isn't a problem.

I have smalls on all my sustain, Ci4, stradic, saros and symetre 2500 and 3000 reels. It's snug and doesn't flap around when running in the boat. I have a medium on a 4000 stradic. It fits well

The eleven foot rod says, "Line rating 8-25 pounds." I would assume the 12-foot would be very similar. If you want to use line heavier than 25 or 30 pound test, you probably should be looking at a heavier rod.

No, it isn't flimsy. But, it is somewhat hard to wind up a heavy duty cord. I have a 12/3 15 amp 50' cord I use on the item. It takes a bit of effort but it is well worth it to have this reel to store it on. I'd recommend it.

You can store that many reels, but you should remove one layer of foam, other then that, it will fit four reels.

It is heavier than an ultra light reel. Just need to see if it balances well with the rod your using.

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.

I bought this for spare parts. It doesn't come with the rod between the two reels. It should work for above ground as long as you can attach to part that holds up the rod to the ground. There is only about 6 inch clearance between the rod and the ground. You will have to determine the diameter of the cover when its rolled up.

I expect it to, I have two 5/8" hoses totaling 125 feet on mine and it fits comfortably with some room left on the reel.

It is a pretty good reel at 130 feet for grouper and amberjacks I do not know if it could hold up to tuna. Let me know if it works. I am quite happy with it so far

In my experience most any reel work on a 5 wt. it holds more line than u need but it's light.

I have the 7 ft and haven't used it for anything close to that big. My guess would be if your reel is up to the task I think the pole would work for thst

It will hold a 17", but mine slides off if you tilt it. I don't see why it wouldn't hold a 18", but I wouldn't go bigger than that, in my opinion.

I have 3 of these reels I am real happy with them. I use them for bass and catfish the line I use is 20lb breaded line super good for25lb catfish. I had no problem. I say give it a try and see what happen for the price you can not beat it. GO FOR IT

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.

Don't know. I placed braded line on both reels, but drags were defective. Not two pounds of drag.
