I use the eagle claws for three seasons. I really like them , some have had drag issues but i have not. Its important to set the resistance properly to the weight of your lure to prevent a bird nest much like a conventional reel. I use 4 & 6 lb mono on mine. Very happy with them .
Problem with bait cast reels is the small diameter spool which creates more line coils. The inline reels have much larger diameter spools and much less line coiling issues. You want the weight of the jig to take out all the line coils.
