13 Fishing Freefall XL, good/bad???
« on: Aug 24, 2022, 08:38 PM »
Ok I can’t find many reviews of the 13 fishing freefall XL on the Internet. Some that I found complain about a poor experience with this product. Any thoughts or experiences?

Must be an error on my end, as I use the search for freefall xl and only get 5 posts.

Plenty of info on the link for freefall, 6061, and ghost, but didn't see any specific to the “freefall xl”.

I like my XL - it's strong and works well.

I have 3 inline reels, all 13 fishing. They seem to freeze up real easy if outside, however that could just be the wet line. The XL is just the same as all of them.

Just my 2 cents.
Ice fishing is better than open water - change my mind!

Thanks for the info. Had a line on a nearly new combo setup for $45 but that deal passed.  I got rid of all my inlines last year and am back on spinning rods and baitfeeders.  At that $45 price I was tempted but am not overly disappointed.

I use this reel for panfish.  Not much drag but really don’t need it. It’s a blast to fish.
