Description

Japanese Hamai Cut Gearing also offers a smooth transition of power from the handle, and the advanced drag system with multi-material oversized drag washers provides up to 18lbs of max drag to stop big fish in their tracks. The Inception Casting reel is also equipped with a 6-way centrifugal braking system for complete cast control and features a High Spin Spool System that heps provide increased casting distance and accuracy. Born from a pedigree of excellence, the 13 Fishing Inception Casting Reel is a feature-packed reel designed to deliver the performance you demand - without having to eat ramen for weeks to save up for it. A fish-catching workhorse of a reel that anglers of all skill levels (and budgets) can appreciate, its eight-bearing system, comprised of 2 Japanese high spin bearings, 5 stainless steel bearings, and an Instant Stop Anti-Reverse bearing, delivers consistently fluid functioning. Constructed with a rigid HD Aluminum frame & re-enforced graphite side plates, it has the strength to battle the largest fish at the highest level of competition. Available in both a 6.6:1 and an 8.1:1 gear ratio, the 13 Fishing Inception Casting Reel is a true performer at a great value! We've taken all the headaches out of the braking system adjustment… just set it and forget it. Each number indicates how many brake weights are engaged on your cast. The lower the number the faster your spool will spin. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to use the brakes, just click it and cast it! 18LB Composite Material Drag System. A lubricated composite fiber material that is both durable and smooth. This composite is a proprietary blend of materials that can dissipate the build-up of heat within the drag system for smooth performance in all fishing situations. This material is paired with a secondary Carbon fiber washer to increase max drag. Designed by anglers, for anglers… the KeepR hook keeper allows lures to be hooked to the center of the reel frame, it just makes sense. No more scratching up your reels, and when the KeepR gets worn, snap it out and replace it. Simple. Easy. Intelligent. Ultra-Lightweight knobs help balance the reel and offer incredible comfort. Our 13 Fishing Tech Knobs are a fan favorite.

  • UNBELIEVABLE FOR THE PRICE!! IT'S LEGAL STEALING
By far the smoothest, furthest casting, best hook setting reel I've ever used. Blows away lews (which burn out gears and have sometimes jumpy drags), Shimano (overpriced and nothing special or bad overall), and daiwa away. I'm a huge Daiwa fan. Their tatula and tatula ct are, until now, the best reels for the money. The Daiwa has the best magnetic braking systems available and their drags are usually underrated on their higher end reels (example-tatula rated at 13 lbs of drag and tested at over 16 lbs). The t wing system on the daiwa will not allow braid to flouro leaders to pass through it, so by chance I thought why not try out 13 fishing and see what the fuss was about. MAN!! What a reel. I ordered the 8.1 ratio, threw some 30 lb braid to a 5 ft 15 lb flouro leader and put on a weightless senko on a 5/0 owner offset round bend hook. Set the centrifugal braking to 2 and went to a very clear local pond that is very hard to fish bc its so clear and full of hydrilla and moss so you can't throw anything weighted on the bottom. It casted the senko very far for a weightless bait (I've noticed senkos cast far because they're naturally more aerodynamic by design due to their compact design and lack of appendages). After dragging and shaking it for a bit, I felt a thump and set the hook. It felt like a dink but a nearly 4 lber flew out of the water towards me and I hydroplaned her in. The drag is so good and so stout...There's zero give. The hook set with the amazing drag and braids lack of stretch was unreal. Zero effort on my part, and even though the fish was trying to throw the bait along the way, the drag didn't give her an inch. I immediately came home and ordered a few more. I also got a Concept A 5.3 cranking reel at Academy for $105 (as a unit that was sold, spooled up and the customers card declined so they put it in the case deeply discounted) this morning and I'm in love with 13 fishing reels now. To confess, I've talked a lot of crap about 13 fishing RODS in the past. They break easily and guides pop off but to their credit their newer models are fixing the past issues. The reels are so smooth I literally thought it was broken and not spinning the gears. You HAVE to try these reels. I feel like I'm stealing them at the $96 black Friday pricing. Not sure what to do with my 5 tatula ct reels that I was using for Texas rigs, jigs etc but the 13 fishing within a mere couple of days are now my favorite reels. Amazing fellas!!! Take that to the bank. Screw lews and Abu FOR THE MONEY, lews has a huge following but nowadays for the same money you can get a better built, lighter and overall better reel for the same money. Ive burnt out gears in a super duty, bb1, and lfs so far (deep cranking, flipping and swimbait fishing). Daiwa and 13 all the way for this hawg hunter! This is coming from a double digit bass club member. Drag and castability are big deals for me. Double digit fish can lock up gears on inferior reels. Buy this reel, it's the best for the money CURRENTLY when every aspect is considered. **UPDATE 12/15/16*** I have since bought another couple inception and another Concept A cranking reel at Academy (in store clearance for $109) and a Concept C 6.6 ratio for $99 on ebay slightly used. Theyre all amazing reels. I'm slowly moving to these reels in general. If they only had the inception in a 5 speed gearing for cranking, they'd have this price point absolutely cornered. I also bought a 7 ft 1 in First generation omen black rod. It was at Academy as a return it appeared because the tip guide insert was missing. I got it for about half price after sweet talking the manager out of it. Still had the tags on it. I took it to Falcon rods world headquarters (4 miles from my house) and had them replace the top guide all together. I could have done it but I wanted a matching smaller stainless guide and couldn't find one locally. The reel seat is the nicest on any rod I own. So comfortable. I took it to a pond and started ripping a trap through grass. It's got a great soft tip but good backbone and balance. I went home and ordered an envy black cranking rod on clearance from tackle warehouse. If these rods hold up like my daiwa zillion and tatula rods, I'll be throughly impressed. I'm loving this brand more and more. Looking forward to trying their new rods for 2017 under their "One 3" brand. Highly recommended. I'll update periodically regardless of results. ***12/20/16*** I have since ordered a 7 3 MH envy black casting rod and a 7 1 MH spinning rod on clearance from tackle warehouse. I'll pair the spinning rod with an okuma helios hx25s. It's my favorite spinning reel and looks and feels amazing at only 6.8 Oz! ... show more

  • Great reel smooth, very adjustable breaking system
Put it up to my Shimano slx DC and felt very comparable. Was very surprised how nice it was and easy to adjust for different weights 1/8-1oz for a sale price of $59.99. Had to try for that kind of deal. I was able to cast farther than my Shimano slx DC even at level 1 compared to 3 on the 13Fish

  • Solid product.
Can't wait to catch a lunker! Really easy to adjust, even for a noob like me. I really dig this baitcaster. I kind of wish that I could adjust the setting for the magnetic thingy, without having to open up that little door.

  • I just purchased this reel and love how smooth it is
Size: 200 Size - 6.6:1 Gear Ratio Style: Right Hand Retrieve
I just purchased this reel and love how smooth it is. I currently own the 13 Fishing Concept A reel as well. I purchased the Abu Garcia Revo SX, but I was so used to my concept A feel of how small/compact it is I just couldn't get the feel of the Revo SX. I ended up returning the Revo SX and purchasing the inception in the 6.6:1. I would say the main difference between this and moving to their concept line of reels is the concept line your getting more anodized/machined aluminum and a little better drag. Also on the cast control knob with the concept series clicks, but the inception doesn't have the clicker (which isn't the biggest deal in the world). In closing I would recommend this reel and I switched to it and never looking back! ... show more

Size: 200 Size - 6.6:1 Gear Ratio Style: Right Hand Retrieve
Just as smooth as the concept reels, has a slightly lower quality bearing inside but they are still superior grade. I could just about write a dissertation on this reel, but let me make this simple; after fishing this reel i came back and ordered three more to replace my two Shimano Curado, and a Pflueger President. I contacted the customer service at 13 fishing and they said that there is going to be a release of more ratio options but not until 2017 (they said not this year 2016, so I assume 2017). ... show more

  • Awesome quality and value
just tried this out today, this thing is sweet!!! Was throwing frog on it and it goes a mile, the spool spins sooo smoothly. High speed retrieve is great, quality feels good and the side cover isn't a big deal, just clip it closed and it works fine. Great value for money, I use Shimano Metanium, Curado and Chronarchs, and this feels as good. Great smaller size, similar to a 50 Shimano. Definitely worth a try ... show more
