Love this reel. Wasn't sure if I'd like the inline thing, but decided to give it a chance.Pros:easy to usekeeps line straighterdepth adjustments are simple one handed affair with the triggerCons:a bit pricey; with plastic spool, this feels like it should be around $50-$55printing on the housing is not too durable; the printed 'Freefall' on mine is rubbing off after only 5 outingsAll in all, it's a great reel. It would be unbeatable if the price were a touch lower, or they included a machined aluminum spool instead.The Free Fall Ghost Reel is well made. The first time out, I experienced some difficulty adjusting the drag. Additionally, I also found my high performance, small diameter, camo line sneaking out from the side of the reel.Not worth the money. Line gets behind spool.Love theseGreat free fall reel! One of the best on the market all my ice reels are 13 fishingI bought 2. Received 1/28/22 @ 3pm. By 9 pm the BlackBetty Logo and the FreeFall Ghost Logos Had Completely Smeared And Wiped Off on 1 Reel! Just Mounting, Line Filling and Getting used to operating Reel. Hope it Holds up Better being Used for Fishing! After researching, if find them Listed on Internet Google Search as "Counterfit" Reels and Not Authentic! Hope this is Wrong!After 50 years of ice fishing and reviews I bought this reel. After the 1st day I went home and bought a 2nd. My son bought an eagle claw and complains about the trigger location (other than that the EC is a good reel also) .EASE OF USE. Trigger is out of the way toward the front like a pistol grip- can be operated with one hand! . Has separate drag wheel like all other reels. Has speed drop control. Ill most likely buy 2 more before the year ends. I go out with 6 jig rods on given day. No more LINE SPIN! Get down 2-4 times faster than a spinning rod which is critical when on top of a school.Love the trigger and smooth release with even the lightest jig. Great for those bites on way down.Awesome! Haven’t got to use it ice fishing yet as it’s July but I did give it a try off the boat just to see how to free fall action works and let me tell you I’m hooked! I will buy this reel again!Love this reel , only downfall is hard to tie line on to start, other than that awesome so far , smooth and works well !For the price I wasn't expecting so much plastic. Reel works as intended. Plastic parts for the price of the reel is rather sad. I would buy another one if there wasn't so much plastic.Great size weight and smooth operating function.Reel is smooth drag works great
