Thanks so much Sean. I'm happy you found the review helpful and you liked my style/format. Its funny, because so many people want me to do reviews, but like 5 minutes long. I like to cover the big stuff, and the little stuff as I never know what a prospective buyer might be looking for or find important. Hence the long reviews. But, I'm with you in that I try not to over explain things....the videos are just long because many times there is a lot to cover. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment, have a happy new year, and tight lines.

I tend to over research an item before I buy it, & I had my eye on this exact real for over a year now...well before I saw this video. But after being able to compare it to all of the other competitors at fleet farm, & watching this video, I finally decided on this exact one. I was on the fence on gear ratio, but decided on the 6.3:1 and it worked great for top raiders (you just have to reel a little faster) but what I like is that when I use a crank bait that has a bit more drag, the slightly slower ratio really shows it’s true benefit. I know that some people back their line with mono, or put on even high weight & fancier brands, but I also decided on “65lb sufix 832 braid”. About 85% of a 150yard spool fits perfectly, and this line is almost half the price as power pro, and stronger. I also wanted to share a useful piece of info, the pole. I have this on an 8ft medium-heavy that can throw 1-4oz baits. I think the reel looks great on anything between 7.5ft - 8.5” long. Btw, why don’t they make that Shimano Curado 300 anymore, that looks like a really cool reel too. Collector someday, if not already. Thanks again for the great video & info. I am really enjoying the musky & large fishing community. 💪🔥

@KeepinItReelFishing7 жыл бұрын
Hey man....I've seen your videos and I know you have a great working knowledge of a lot of reel nuance. I had read a few threads over on TackleTour a while back where people were trying to determine the manufacturer of 13 reels. I seem to recall the 'evidence' showed that the reel was made by a larger, wholesale manufacturer....but that 13 was unique in that their was not a 'catalog' reel. Instead they created and owned the tooling, but capitalized on the existing manufacturing of whoever this larger manufacturer was. I can see that it would make sense for some pieces to be off-the-shelf and not worth designing brand new. I haven't dug that deep, but I'm wondering can you tell me what parts are the 'smoking guns' and if you know any particulars about 13 and their manufacturing?
@TackleAdvisors7 жыл бұрын
Thanks man! I was hoping to see you post up some new content. Not many of us out there put the time in that it takes to do full in depth gear reviews with real information. Looking at the images on their site. And comparing them to the citrix reels and komodo reels I had aparte. The handle side of the frame and all it's contents looks remarkably similar to the citrix. The spool and brake looks similar as well. Seeing how many saltwater companies tried to say they had their own "tooling" and weren't clones.....and the crazy amounts of research that went into disproving that. I'm surprised nobody really did any true digging with 13. One company even went as far as taking video in a machine shop to show he and his friend turning parts (ancient mariner...google "spyron Alexakis stripers online" for a good read...... Between 4 threads I think I had to edit or hide 40 posts for threatening bodily harm then ultimately banned him....Alan Hawk did a number on a few cloners....Yet in the fw bass world it doesn't seem to get much attention. MY plate is pretty full. But I plan on picking up a 13 and okuma and trying to play musical parts out of sheer curiosity. I've only owned 1 13 product so I haven't mentioned anything other than the similaritites to Okuma. And it may be a bad example as it may be a defect Creed K. But I will be including them in some of my future reviews. Where about in NJ are you...I'm up in Bridgewater?

Good video, everyone who is an equipment enthusiast should be watching your channel. I have been fishing hard 3 years, and with an engineer in family and my own careering leaning that way, I've never heard you say something that isn't spot on. Would like to know what rod and lure weights you were throwing/using for comparisons though. Also like to see the opposite of this and go to the finesse end of baitcasting. I recently bought a new Zillion SV TW and am amazed. Some say 13's higher end reels cast light, would love to see them match up to the cheaper Tatula SV or even the Chronarch MGL... Thanks for the always great content...

Hi.. Got 2 questions... its the same weight of the brand new Concept A3 Gen 2 ???... and... which is the rod recomended for this reel? (casting all day long)....
@KeepinItReelFishing4 жыл бұрын
Hey....got 2 answers for ya. Weight looks to be nearly identical at 10.3 for the Gen 2 vs 10.5 for Gen 1. Regarding the second question, I would strongly advise you choose your rod based on the primary lures you plan to use with it. Because this is a 300 size reel (large-ish), people typically use a heavier rod. But, whether a rod rated for 1/2oz to 3oz or one rated from 3oz to 8oz is entirely dependent on the lures you plan to use regularly. Also, I know it may seem odd, but don't feel the need use a rod and reel from the same manufacturer. If you find a good rod, at a good price from another brand its a smarter move to get that then use a 13 Fishing Rod that maybe isn't the best match for what you are doing. If 13 happens to make the right rod for what you are doing, than thats great too.

Long time no see. LOL. Great review as usual! Just a couple of points if I may. I do agree it is smaller than the Okuma Komodo SS, but having said that the A3 also has a smaller line capacity. No deal breaker there. Other than that, I am not entirely sure what the Japanese Hamai Gears actually mean? Well, the reel is made in Korea, unless they are saying they are using the same machines as the Japanese to cut the gears perhaps? Personally, I do have a Tailwalk Elan Wide Power Plus which as you know is probably made in the same factory in Korea, that is why I have my doubts that it really casts that well. My experience with the Tailwalk is that it casts OK, but definitely not to the level of the Shimanos and Daiwas which could well be attributed to the moving levelwind during casting? At $240 it is not cheap, I think prior to the launch of the Shimano Tranx 300/301, most people including myself would have given the A3 a try too. But, from what I have heard, the Shimano Tranx 300/301 is supposed to cast better than any other heavy drag high line capacity low profiles out there right now. Just my two cents.

They say this is rated for 30+lbs drag, but when i fully apply the drag, i can pull the drag with my hand. Seems similar to my smaller reels with less drag. Is this reel really rated at 30lbs of drag?
@KeepinItReelFishing4 жыл бұрын
Hmm. While I never did it, if I put on gloves and pulled a plastic line (mono, copoly, or fluoro) I think most of us could pull line on a locked out 30lb drag if we really tried. Having said that, I'm guessing you feel that you can pull it out easier than expected. In that case the possibilities are the drag is over lubricated and/or defective is some way. I have both the A3 and Z3 and both of mine are darn tight. So, perhaps something on your particular reel.

You are spot on closing out on saying that we should be questioning the usefulness of the reel for daily fishing needs rather than brand comparisons, which is easily done. Penn, Daiwa, Shimano, 13 Fishing, who cares once it gets the job done. Anyway, I am looking to get this (Concept A3) for inshore and sea kayak, the extra drag is making it attractive but six months later from this review would you still recommend personally? Would be pairing on a 6 - 7 foot (12-20lb) rod. Thanks for the videos too and have subscribed and enjoyed many of your videos. Cheers Dave

@KeepinItReelFishing6 жыл бұрын
Hi Tom - I think its right in line with what you want if your targeting pike. I use it on bass, but I don't use it because I need it for the fish, its because I need the big spool for when I use 25lb test, which in turn I need/like to use on my 5oz+ lures. I think most pike anglers are probably using a 300 size reel, but in reality I never heard of a pike actually "breaking" a smaller 200 size reel.
