[lunkerslayer]

Never even held one in my hand, but I'm considering on purchasing one for this year, I'm looking for others that have experience with them good and bad.

I have a 13 fishing free fall ghost that I really like and plan to buy a few more this year. Also bought one of the pflueger reels last year and was not impressed at all with it. Have tried a few others over the years but keep going back to the 13 fishing

What is the benefit? Serious question.

I have switched almost my entire summer fishing poles to bait casters, but all winter stuff is spinning.

This article also believes the 13 fishing is the go to for inline reels, does the proce matter as far as the 13 inline goes or is the old saying hold true you want quality you pay for it. With black friday deals happening now, I am thinking of getting one. Also I use my left hand for all my spinning reels, would I expect to say with a left hand?

Only looked at them once. Would they be more prone to freezing up, inside house use only?

Same question because I do like to ice troll and the spinning reels work great for fishing outside.
