13 FISHING Freefall Ghost Inline Ice Reel – 2.5:1 Gear Ratio, RH Retrieve

Precision depth control meets all-day reliability

The FreeFall Ghost Inline Ice Reel from 13 FISHING redefines how you place baits on the ice. Its FreeFall Trigger lets you drop to a chosen depth and, by releasing the trigger in the target zone, you can trigger an instant hook-up opportunity. In practice, the feel is crisp and immediate, with one-handed operation that frees your other hand for jigging, adjusting the rod, or a quick press on the ice.

Core design for harsh conditions

Housed in a durable graphite frame, the Freefall Ghost stands up to cold winds, slushy melt, and sudden temperature swings. The inline configuration reduces line tension and helps with clean line management, while the tangle-free spool cap keeps rigs tidy even after long sessions.

Performance that adapts to your day on the ice

The gear train delivers a balanced 2.5 to 1 ratio, which pairs well with a wide range of lures and depths from 5 to 50 feet. With three plus one stainless steel ball bearings and a smooth drag, you can expect consistent feel as you work each drop and retrieve cycle.

Practical benefits you’ll notice

• FreeFall Trigger for precise depth placement and quick reset
• Drop speed control to tailor descent in varying water, ice, and wind conditions
• Anti-reverse instant-stop for confident control during strikes
• One-handed operation that keeps your other hand free for tools or jigging
• Durable build and tangle-free spool cap reduce fiddling on the ice

Real-world use cases

Early morning on a windy lake, you set your lure to reach a 20 ft zone. A subtle release signals an appealing bite; you’re ready for the hook with a quick, clean set. In shallower pockets, the same reel shines with fast drop-and-stop cycles, keeping lines tidy and presentations precise.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse with fresh water after use in snow or slush
• Dry thoroughly to protect bearings and graphite parts
• Oil moving parts sparingly per manufacturer guidance
