1 of my inlines is totally backed off plus I even cut the spool tension rubber , absolute free fall
Takes a little practice to control the rate of fall with out backlash , I run 1/8 to 1once jigs , ,
But I must admit I don’t use either of them for flatfish as we usually fish for them most times 8’ or less
I use both spinning and inlines , they both have their purpose , , that’s why There are choices,
