I recently bought the ghost in 7'3" HF and I absolutely love it. Perfect for my jigs, frogs, or texas rigs and very light weight with comfortable split grip handles. Definitely worth the $100 in my opinion.
I finally bought my first ghost in 7'3" MHF last week and I've been fishing jigs and texas rigged craws around heavy cover and so far it has lived up to my expectations. I have it paired with a Lew's Speed Spool LFS 6.8:4 and I highly recommend it.
I bought this same reel about a month ago when i first started learning how to use a baitcaster and I had 50# power pro on and paired it with a duckett ghost 7'3" H/F micro guide and I struggled at first, and had a lot of bad backlashes but I tightened down the star drag a lot and turned up the magforce brake about 3/4 of the way up and adjust the spool tension accordingly for every lure I use and I started making very smooth and long casts with no backlashes and I've bought 2 other baitcasters since and I haven't had a problem with either of them.
I usually prefer to use soft plastics or topwaters but I have a lot of square bill crankbaits that I never use because I really don't know when or how to properly use them.
