The inception is amazing! I have the C,A and the inception and the A has started to slow down I’ve had it for 2 years now.

13 made a mistake by choosing to market the Z as a long distance casting reel for the bass market. It was originally meant for inshore anglers with it's corrosion resistance and in my opinion it is the best use of this reel. There are cheaper or similarly priced reels that will perform on par with the Z for bass fishing, but if you do any salt water fishing the Z is the way to go

I definitely agree, I'm pretty sure he's talking to the people in turnements, I personally as someone who fishes in bass turnements needed something that will cast farther and reel smoother, because if my buddy is getting a bite and I need to bring the boat over 100 feet, I'm able to cast that far with my concept z reel, however I definitely agree with you, Abu Garcia's cheap reels last for years of abuse! And they're probably some of my favorite reels simply because if I break a piece, they're easy and cheap to replace, and they just last!👍

13 Fishing is more of a marketing company than a fishing company. The Z is a good reel but it is not a great reel and it is NOT worth the $200 price tag they were asking for. I'm thinking it hurt the company overall with the underwhelming reviews most honest people gave the Z. I'd get one on sale but that is it, I'd never pay full price for a 13 product till they got their shit together. I don't like Lew's fan boys but they make a better product and so does Daiwa which is my choice for everything right now. Shimano's new reels can't handle the salt like they used to.

People should stop acting like your reel being smooth makes it a good reel. It should go without saying that a reel is going to be smooth past 100$. It is expected of it. What makes a reel a good reel is it’s smoothness and quietness on the cast, ability to cast a variety of lures, weight, and durability. And the concept z doesn’t have 2 of those. It’s loud and rough on the cast and it doesn’t last. Many reviews have been done and I have personally experienced a loud rattle on the cast a 13 fishing is known for its poor quality gears and paint.
