Best in line reel
« on: Jan 11, 2018, 10:04 PM »
Cant decide between black betty 6061 and freefall. What are the pros and cons of each?

Free fall you can use one handed,release trigger and jig stops, 6061 have to turn reel to stop lure decent .. drags are good

Cons: lot of money for China product. 

If the eagle claw inline had a better drag or you know how to fix the drag buy the EC..

Frabill 371s  are the best I've found,IMO.

The 6061 has an alluminum housing so if you fish outside of a shack it's very cold on the hands. Very good and smooth reel and no issues if you always fish in a shack. I have been using the 13 Decent with pretty good results so far this year...
