Glad you are stepping into higher end reels, and I am with you 💯 those orange knobs would have to be changed😂 One thing I notice on reels is their secondary market value and the longevity of the product. Do another review next year same time after you’ve really tested it out. Keep up your success Hank✊😎🎣💰

Sooo I’m new to 13fishing I went the curado/slx dC route… so I figured I’d try their equal value 13F competition. So I went with the concept C2 and I have the inception and wow super light, fantastic casting. And with the white color I know it’s an 8speed reel. Out of my arsenal. Very impressed great video hank!!

Love this series. I’ve started mix and matching my reels with different rods after hearing you’re insights. What a difference. I’ve found some gem combos with reels that I just didn’t seem to like initially. Moved my black max abu over to a medium power moderate action rod. super shallow cranking combo now. Also started to mess around with reel speeds. I agree it’s easier for me to speed up then slow down.

@BassGeek

Nice! Yeah there are just some combos you can put together from different brands and they are off the chart

I've had that reel for over a year now. It's holding up nicely, looks great and feels great to cast. One one the best reels I've had. I don't use the slide feature much though.

@BassGeek

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I like it thus far.

This is a pretty cool reel. I also had concerns about the magnetic backlash placement. One other feature i though was cool i didn't hear you mention or maybe you did and i missed it was the lure cutout spot on the reel. So you can hook your lure right onto the reel. I do that with alot of my reels so to have a specific spot is very cool. Its just a simple groove on top of the reel just above the spool but comes in very handy. The orange handle grips surprisingly help you see the reel handle under low light conditions. Looks like a solid overall reel. Fish on!!

Solid review Hank! I’m a fan of the 13Fishing lure lineup,but from a rod/reel standpoint,they haven’t and will likely never win me over. Those loud,obnoxious,and outlandish color schemes are impossible for me to get past. It just looks cheap. I really wish they’d quit that crap,to be quite honest. But a lot of that is my quirky OCD talking. Great vid as always,Hank! And I enjoyed the heck out of your live session with Welcher last night. Kyle’s my dude!

I was able to get a like new sport Z for a great price on the eBay and it absolutely bombs everything I toss. I like the 13 Fishing Reels a lot and I saw where there is an Inception slide coming out soon I believe and that may be a phenomenal Reel for the price. I think it’s going to be around 140 or so.

Mixed - Drag stable locked down tells us little if you don’t tighten it down all the way. Bad The colors, plastic switch cheapens the reel. Those bushings they use instead of bearings.

Maybe it’s just me but spending over $100 on a reel that doesn’t say Shimano or Daiwa on it seems silly. Once you get past the $200 mark there’s not a chance I’m not looking at Daiwa and Shimano exclusively. From what I can find all the other companies are just glorified resellers. They all use one of a few OEM’s and just change them to their liking. A Currado MGL and a Tatula flip/pitch or Tatula sv are all cheaper than this reel. Again maybe it’s just me.
