Love this reel. Wasn’t sure if I’d like the inline thing, but decided to give it a chance.
Pros:
easy to use
keeps line straighter
depth adjustments are simple one handed affair with the trigger
Cons:
a bit pricey; with plastic spool, this feels like it should be around $50-$55
printing on the housing is not too durable; the printed ‘Freefall’ on mine is rubbing off after only 5 outings
All in all, it’s a great reel. It would be unbeatable if the price were a touch lower, or they included a machined aluminum spool instead

The Free Fall Ghost Reel is well made. The first time out, I experienced some difficulty adjusting the drag. Additionally, I also found my high performance, small diameter, camo line sneaking out from the side of the reel.
