I am a spinning reel kinda guy here myself. I do like the free fall and stop idea for my electronics when targeting crappie and perch. Will this ghost fit the bill for a first in line ice reel?
I tried to get into the in-line reel game last year. I had a couple of the cheaper Eagle Claw models. I didn't really care for them. Would this 13 Fishing Ghost model make me a believer?
What didn't you like about the Eagle Claw reels?
Adjusting the drag on the EC has to be the worst...besides that for the $20 I paid not a bad reel
How much line do you guys put on these Ghost's and Freefalls? I bought one of each at the Dakota Angler Institute last week. Will likely use 3 pound mono.
50 yards for me, mainly just because I can get two reels worth out of one spool of line. I use 2# mono for mine.
Your right about the drags,but if you do a little work on them they are really ok.
After reading this thread Im pretty excited. I won a 28" Jason Mitchell Deadmeat at a tourney this weekend so Im pairing it with a Freefall Ghost. Cant wait to see how it does!
