Luttes Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Anyone using this reel this year? Looks pretty slick, but is it worth the $100 price tag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnd Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 no. the one that i used for a few days gave me all the same headaches all the other inlines did. i only used it on sunfish so the little tungsten jigs did not activate the "free fall" function of the reel. still had to pull off by hand. and their drag isn't any better.

Interesting! I have the no 8 inline and it has a freespool tension adjustment knob, my tungsten jigs fly down the hole with minimal involvement. eyeguy 54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luttes Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 So mostly just flashy marketing and a fancy paint job. Good to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 still love mine. #8. I still think it's just getting used to his style reel. Maybe Luttes and I should give lessons?? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Not as smooth as the 6061's. Even on the lightest tension setting it's hard to get smaller jigs to drop, even small tungsten. Nowhere near what the 6061's could do. Drag is adequate but not great. However, I really like the ergonomics of it. I've turned it into my small/medium pan fish spoon reel because it will drop those. Was it worth the price of admission, I'd lean towards no. They have work to do on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpike1973 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Worst buy I ever bought. I sold it the next week. I like 13 products but not this line of products Luttes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
