How to use an inline reel?

[SkunkedAgain]

Hey Kent, I mostly just use mine for panfish anymore.... At one time I was all goo goo for these reels, but I've sort of lost my love for them anymore... I do like the lack of twist in the line and the trigger dropping the line, but they sure don't fit in my rod box very well and I really prefer a regular spinning reel anymore... Especially for big fish and deep fishing... Just my take on them and Rocky did a good job covering how they function... I have a couple reels of this type that the line likes to spill off the side of spool and / or get wrapped around the center shaft and are really frustrating at times.... If I had it to do again, I'd probably only have one or two of them instead of 8-10.... just my take, but I do have some experience with them... Later J
