Description

The 13 Fishing Concept A Generation 2 is the newest iteration of the Concept A low-profile baitcasting reels from 13 Fishing. The new Concept A (referred to by some as the A2) is more robust in its durability, reliable in its performance, and just overall more capable than ever before. The updated Bulldog Carbon Drag system is back and ready to stop the biggest trophy freshwater and inshore saltwater fish you can find with 25 pound of lunker- stopping power. Equipped with 13 Fishing's H.A.M. hardened brass main gear and cut with Japanese Hamai precision, it's a reel to be reckoned with. The ultra- low, super "palmable" design now features 25% more line capacity without increasing the overall size of the reel. The unrelenting strength and durability of the Concept A Gen 2 can be seen through new design features like it's Railed Clutch Cam, Gen II Line Guide, and new Water Channeling Design intelligence. It's also packed with unique and patented proprietary 13 Fishing features, like their Arrowhead Line Guide, Beetle Wing Rapid Access Side Plate, and KeepR Integrated Hook Keeper. A new low-friction braking system provides anglers with smaller more relevant adjustments for all lure weights. All told, the 13 Fishing Concept A Gen 2 delivers the performance, reliability, and features both weekend warriors and veteran tournament-level anglers will appreciate. you need for day after day tournament-level fishing. Available in 5.6:1, 6.8:1, 7.5:1, and 8.3:1 gear ratios in both Right and Left Hand retrieve.

Works great, casts great, no issues.
Style: Right Hand Retrieve Size: 200 Size - 7.5:1 Gear Ratio
Smooth, easy to cast. Reeling is pleasant, and the finger grips are nice to the touch. I like the batwing style door to adjust brakes, keeps it more streamline. It looks sleek, but not in your face. Drag has held up good. I have this on a very very light musky rig for small baits, or in other words a very heavy bass rig. ... show more

Outstanding reel but.....
Style: Left Hand Retrieve Size: 200 Size - 6.8:1 Gear Ratio
Love the reel, fits the hand perfectly and it gets a ton of distance on casts. My only complaint which is kind of a deal breaker is the rear of the real comes to a point and digs in your hand especially if you're jerkbait fishing, it's very uncomfortable. Not sure what the engineering reason was behind that or if they field tested it before the release. Fix that on the next gen and you got a home run ... show more

Right out of the box, the drag did not work or engage whatsoever. Spun the drag down as tight as I could and the line just pulls right out with very little effort. So much for 13's "bull drag" system. I didn't even realize it until I was on the water trying to use it for the first time..I'm just glad I didn't hook a fish before I noticed. I'm not sure if these are knock-offs or if 13 fishing has a quality control issue but I'm disappointed. ... show more

Man I love this fishing reel, I now owe three 13 fishing reels. And I’m catching myself using them over my shimano curdo DC.. I fish four days a week along the Texas gulf coast. Salt water of course. Getting to the back water, at times can be one heck of an adventure. Things get muddy and wet, and when you have a big redfish at the surface next your kayak your gonna get splashed, and so does your reel. And let me tell you how easy it is to clean this reel. Along with the rest of 13 fishing. A quick flip of a button and the side opens up. Remove the spool rinse out the reel let it dry. Add a few drop of reel oil. Maybe a little grease on the worm gear and close it back up your good go. And this reel can cast from Houston tx to New Orleans LA smooth and quite.. it has a nice profile that fits in your head like it was meant to be. It’s light weight easy to use with a few adjustments for the beginners to bait casters.. it’s well made tough but slick, well worth the money. I suggest everybody that fishing to own at least 3 If i could rent mine out for test runs, I would But I can’t see myself fishing with out. ... show more

Style: Right Hand Retrieve Size: 200 Size - 7.5:1 Gear Ratio
Matched with a medium rod with a fast tip this has quickly become my go to reel for top water. Functions smoothly with a good drag.
