I have used them a couple times, the latest was yesterday at Strawberry. I like the drag and I have mixed feelings about now long it takes to lower a lure in less-than-shallow water. I learned my lesson about not letting the spool spin faster than the lure is pulling the line off of the reel.
Looks like that reel would work fine. Please explain why you consider them a better option over an inline reel.

Bass Pro has one ( https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro...00015551-1) for 30 bucks. Cheap, light weight, has a drag, and the level wind solves the tangle and twist problem. Back it with old line, dacron, etc, and spool your mono or fluro over the top. Cheap, easy, and efficient !!!
PS: If you fish Crappie, it can double as a jig/pole reel during open water !!!
