Anyone ever use one of these? Is there a reason they’re not mainstream?

I thought this was AI at first, but apparently there are a couple “brands” that make these. Seems super impractical.

These are pretty niche, they’re designed for speed jigging.
Below is a product description pulled from evike.com Jigging Master UnderHead Reels
“A traditional spinner reel being “under the rod” provides a balanced rod that is natural to gravity, but the inherited design flaw of a spinner lacks the torque a conventional reel has with the line “spinning in”. A conventional reel provides the ultimate torque, but the reel need to be maintained above the rod by the angler, against gravity, while a fraction of the attention is also needed to sort your lines while fighting a fish”

It’s for vertical jigging. Best of both worlds if you’re doing it a ton- torque of a conventional but the balance and ergos of a spinner.

Why is this a spinning, casting reel? I think I love it but I need convincing and don’t understand how to stop it but think i do, maybe. Probably? No…

It’s not for casting, obviously. I see that it’s a jigging reel, but it would be impractical for much else. Maybe trolling…
