An inline will never match the drop rate of a spinning reel
Like I mentioned, the rod is definitely worth trying out. I might replace the reel but figured I'd try out the inline and see. Problem is the reel is zip-tied on. Like MFish intimated in a thread on the community board, I'm leery of the lack of a reel seat.
Use athletic tape, hockey tape or electrical tape to seat your reel. I prefer a rod without a seat and always use electrical tape.
the drags are inferior...Spinning lures can easily be mitigated but ive never seen it be enough of an issue to have to worry about it.
(not an issue for pan fish though)...Spinning lures can easily be mitigated but iver never seen it be enough of an issue to have to worry about it.
I’ve switched over to the silicone tape and love the stuff but any of those choices will ensure a rock-tight reel. Never cared for the shrinky-dink sleeves since they require periodic re-heating when they loosen.
Thanks for the suggestions. Do you have any wobble or play develop over time with tape?
Why bring a spoon to a knife fight
But goodness, not one proponent is speaking up for them.
There’s a lot of similarity with the Tenkara fad.
In order to use the in-line properly one must master the "Princess Grip".
Sounds like a nightmare with a tiny ratfinkee, at least over depth. Sounds like it will be a tool limited to shallow water scenarios.
Also what is shallow water to you?
