$58 Baitcaster Review! 13 Fishing ORIGIN A Baitcast Reel Review

[@FishingWithBottles]

Good to see reviews that aren't after a single trip!!

[@jamesbarron1202]

Or without ever using a product. I've seen lots of lure reviews just pulled out of the package and never fished. I can do that in the store

[@Nicksta177]

A few weeks ago I felt like you posted a video everyday when I got home from work. Was awesome kicking back and watching just relaxing. Thanks for the videos Alex.

[@steveo201]

Nicksta177 something about watching Alex helps me relax too haha

[@j.t.cooper2963]

Probably the most honest, realistic and unbiased review I have seen in many years. None of that "I'm blowing my horn cuz I'm paid to say crap" malarkey. 👍🏻 😎 So cool.

[@littlefella7763]

Got an Abu Garcia Pro Max rod and reel combo that was originally $99.99 but got it for $69.99. I love it and it was an awesome deal just in time for me getting it as a grad gift.

[@RealisticFishing]

I hope it works well for ya!

[@czardrumz]

This is how you review...not after one trip!👍

[@RealisticFishing]

👍👍

[@honkeykong85]

I can’t complain too much about 13. Not my favorite brand, but if i can catch their gear at the right time and at the right price,I’ll invest. Keep up the great work,Alex! You’re killing it!

[@RealisticFishing]

I am always about those deals 😉

[@honkeykong85]

Realistic Fishing yes,yes you are. #bfj

[@lisatwitchell403]

Great video! My oldest reel, nearly 50 years old, and my newest reel both have centrifical systems. I have three other reels with magnetic control. I do not like the magnetically controlled reels nearly as well. Both that old reel and the new reel fit well in my hand, as you discussed, and it is a real advantage. My oldest reel still casts better than any of my other reels. The newest reel is a close second. However, the much faster retrieve on my newest reel is certainly nice for all the reasons you mentioned. The fast retrieve has another advantage. When a hooked fish decides to swim toward me sometimes the old reel won't take up the slack fast enough. That is especially true when one swims toward me and comes clear out of the water.

[@RealisticFishing]

I like that centrifugal stuff!

[@sjones7400]

Been watching you effortlessly cast that thing since early spring. Was already thinking about getting the same reel. Now I’m going to pick one up for sure. Great review! Nice to see someone actually use the product for more than two minutes before putting their mouth in gear. 👍

[@tedbastwock3810]

This is a very thoughtfully-made video, thank you for putting this together.

[@larrychildress171]

I picked one of these up about a week ago. I saw how good it was working for you, I hope mine holds up and works just as good. Great review Alex. Good idea of putting clips in. Keep it realistic.

[@Mr_Man_7803]

I’ve never used 13 Fishing products before. Nice video!

[@RealisticFishing]

Worth a try if you can find them for a good price 👍

[@tommymckiddy7872]

I have a medium heavy bass spinning rod from them. I caught a 32 lb blue catfish on it. Very tough rod.

[@thefishermanz8349]

I have the 13 Inception baitcaster and I am very impressed. To be honest, it is one of my smoothest casting reels.

[@RealisticFishing]

I believe it. For an entry level reel, this one is great.

[@ifishcatfish]

Dont know how it works but looks sophisticated. 13 has a good aesthetics designer. All of their products look nice.

[@tgbrown4689]

Thanks for the honest and unbiased review, good quality at a reasonable price, that’s realistic fishing

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats it!

[@peewee6377]

Damn good drag talk sir. Fun intro! White bass on Old Hick have been great lately. Great info as usual. Thanks.

[@fishn_aaron_outdoors4984]

Great review! Not rushed like most reviews and very descriptive! Excellent job! I will most definitely try a 13 baitcaster! 👍🎣

[@HopskysLounge]

that reels looks pretty nice i like how you put in the clips of you catching fish with it

[@RealisticFishing]

Gotta have that!

[@fishingwithvance]

Excellent review after 6 months. I know nothing about baitcaster reels. Perhaps i need to give these a try. Fish on! "madded goop"

[@RealisticFishing]

Worth a try for sure, just for versatility 👍

[@carnufiasfishing8444]

Great review bud, looks like a very promising reel. I might pick one up after your review. Thanks For Keeping It Realistic 👊🎣😎

[@rolandocastro7709]

Good vid as always, I picked an inception last month and I also have to tell you that I am very impressed by it. Only thing I dont like is a cracking vibration on the line guide, but other than that a great reel, even considerate as one of my to go reels. Thumps up so far. Keep up the good work sir, still enjoying your vids!

[@RealisticFishing]

cracking vibration... that doesnt sound good

[@rolandocastro7709]

@@RealisticFishing not at all, so far still retrieving good and have been able to keep reeling the fish in with no problem

[@bdaquatics7584]

I wish all reviews were like this because now I'm sold on getting a 13 origin lol awesome video man

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching TR

[@crzyruskie86]

I have the 13 fishing Origin C and its the best reel I own. Super versatile and the breaking system is so freaking smooth no matter what I throw. Great channel man I love it. Oh and try simple green on your grips and cleaning the outside of your reel. Its biodegradable and wont harm the body of the reel or anything.

[@sneakersnapper]

I see realistic fishing i click

[@RealisticFishing]

👊

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

you know, i was looking into the 13 fishing concept Z bait caster, the orange one, and it didn't have the best reviews so i was unsure what to do. but seeing that you seemed to enjoy your reel from the same brand makes me feel like looking back at something by 13 fishing would be something i should consider again. maybe just to something as expensive as the concept z. thanks for this video

[@joanreyes3118]

I like realistic reviews with no bs 🔥🔥🔥

[@lisatwitchell403]

I know it's silly but I still love the mahogany grips on the crank on my oldest reel. I don't know how Shimano did it but the grips have been used for over 45 years and they still have a perfect finish.

[@mr_b22]

I've never seen '13' products in Ontario, I'm sure there are similar style and quality up here though. I often miss solid bites and I also keep my drag fairly tight. Your mention of backing the drag off a little is good advice, I'll try it this weekend. Thanks for all the realistic suggestions.

[@RealisticFishing]

And thank you for watching Steve 👍

[@mjk208]

Thanks for this review. I agree w/ another commenter, it's nice to see a review after more than just a few casts.

[@tommyschlegel5653]

Another great video. Always good stuff for the average Joe 6 pack guy. Just straight up honest reviews. Nephew just gave me a 13 Origin combo in white because he can't cast a baitcaster. I gave him an Ugly Stik spinning combo, the one I always recomend for ease of use, durability, and value.

[@robertomedrano312]

Love your channel great fishing tips thanks to you i got my first baitcaster

[@RealisticFishing]

I hope it serves you well 👍

[@juliocruz7481]

That’s great info man!! I bought an Inception 8.1 2 weeks ago I’m liking it so far!!

[@garybond3663]

Nice review Alex. Really enjoyed it.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Gary

[@maxwilson6688]

An excellent review of a reel I know little about. Very realistic and practical for most fishermen. No pie in the sky as I've seen in reviews by sponsored narrators with vested interests..

[@tonybishop51]

Your rod pairs up well with it too!

[@doctoordan]

Thanks for the review I might check into this real further.

[@joshlawson8603]

I really like that reel too, just the look of it and I watched you test it with a 1/4oz lure. I actually like the handles like that, if they were super bright white I think it would turn me off more cosmetically. Thanks for Realistically reviewing!

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Never used any of their rods or reels. May pick one of those up. Been itching for a new reel lol. Great video Alex. (Just noticed I have a 10 dollar off coupon at dicks so that’ll make it 70 bucks. Still not bad.) Gonna pick me up some different color grips also lol

[@RealisticFishing]

70 aint bad, but I bet its out there for less 😉

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Realistic Fishing yep, just found it cheaper 👍🏻

[@imonyoutube8801]

I’m gonna order the LTE & Favorite rod this weekend

[@rossbowman202]

Thank you for the information Alex. Thank you also for no bias bs.

[@RealisticFishing]

[@dylant4737]

3:57 great tip! Gotta have a fast spool to get them out of the weeds

[@RealisticFishing]

You ain't kidding!

[@victorkaren2393]

Great review video. I may just have to buy one of those!!! Keep the videos coming!!!

[@BassGeek]

Seems like a killer reel. I haven't used much in the 13 line. I get the white handles though. That should be a obvious no go by the design guys.

[@kansaslawdog4034]

Gotta love culprit baits! Nice review brotha. I like slower retrieve for cranks though

[@AnCap1776]

I recently got into baitcasting and surprisingly I learned it quick. It only took 1 day, and have only had 2 backlashes since I started 2 months ago. I didn't go cheap for my first setup, which the Bass Pro guy thought I was crazy for. I spent $220 on my first setup. Bought the Abu Garcia Veritas 7"0 Medium Heavy Rod and Pro Qualifier 2 6:8:1 reel ; both absolutely amazing. I spent so much because then I felt forced to learn. If i spent less than $100 i wouldn't of cared as much if i just stopped trying.

[@RealisticFishing]

i guess that makes sense some how 🤔

[@AnCap1776]

@@RealisticFishing lol. I know it's somewhat confusing.

[@bigjoe3287]

Good to see an honest review after real use

[@rogerdecker2732]

Great channel man! One of my top favs. Question about the Origin A: I just picked up one and liked it a lot until I started using it. Spooled up 12 mono, 7’ MH/F, 3/8 oz plug. Nothing but backlashes, no matter which brake setting I used. My Reels of choice are Abus, and I thought I’d see what 13 is all about. Have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for the great vids man. -Roger

[@RealisticFishing]

I would guess that your brakes arent working correctly. Maybe make sure your internal weights are adjusted correctly.

[@robertveith2255]

You can buy knob covers to put over the white knobs in different colors

[@Thepondguy85]

Another nice vid man. 👊🤙 I have been thinking about getting the 13 concept A or C

[@RealisticFishing]

Choices choices

[@deepiper6529]

Great review Alex. I like the Origin TX (green one) and the Inception reels from 13 Fishing. I own a Shimano SLX in 7.2 ratio and to me it's fast. It does pick up the line quick though.

[@ILLUMINATHAN79]

Awesome video! If you like the Origin, you should try the Concept A and Concept A3. Great baitcasters.

[@912Metalhead_5]

My lews slp baitcast reel and duckett rod is still going strong and smooth, but nice reel!!

[@daviddake22]

I liked the honest review, also the intro was cool. It would be nice to maybe see some fan sent intros.

[@kevintebo3736]

Still love the frog bass. Love it

[@RealisticFishing]

Me too!

[@tommymckiddy7872]

I agree with the looser drag. I hear about people locking down their drag and then whining about hooks bending out and loosing fish, with your drag properly set that won't happen. If you need to lock it down put your thumb on the spool people.

[@RealisticFishing]

I like you.

[@tommymckiddy7872]

@@RealisticFishing I like you too. Keep making the great videos.

[@b-radsoutdoors965]

I have a 13 fishing concept C and it’s by far the best baitcaster I’ve ever owned

[@tymorrison8499]

The 13 fishing reels (baitcaster/spinning/freefall) are generally very good reels at that price point. I will say though. I worked as Product Specialist, for the fishing department, of one of the top 5 big name outdoors/sporting goods stores in the US, and we received waaaaay more returns on broked 13 rods, then all other rods combined! I moved on from that job about a year ago, so maybe they have gotten their shit together since then, but boy were there rods junk at that time.

[@jeromeik8081]

I like the new(ish) intro featuring other fisherpeeps 🍻

[@robertminnis417]

[@Tommy.461]

One of them magic erasers might make the knobs white again. Worth a try.

[@jamesdavis9040]

Still love that part where you try to rip the face clean off that frog fish! Good stuff!

[@RealisticFishing]

except my drag slipped like I explained in the video 😉

[@josephhillman8831]

Budget minded fisherman like myself appreciate the feedback on a product that's not going to break the bank

[@dan8402]

Good follow up! I wonder how they stack up against the Lew's and Abbu in the same price range? No reason to pay $150 plus on a reel when a $50 will do just fine!

[@ThomasHardenFishing]

I always destroy my reels frog fishing in the slop after a couple seasons. My frog reels are always the first ones to start making noise. Nice frog fish!

[@FishingGrubbZ]

I need to get a faster reel for frogging. I’ve lost too many fish with my slower reel

[@greggvenenga8219]

I have one on a 7'3" ×heavy rod for froging super thick pads. If you don't keep it quick they dive deep.

[@octaviofuentes7781]

i just bought one of those and i love it

[@RealisticFishing]

Nice!

[@easloc1676]

I have a origin TX, a concept z, and a fate black gen 2 which the concept z is on and I absolutely love all of them. The concept z is definitely worth the extra cost if you can get past the price tag because it is absolutely silent after using for a while and will consistently case around 5 yards farther. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with the origin other than you can hear the bearings loudly in mine even when oiled but that is a very nit-picky thing to complain about. They are both much better than the Lew's tournament MB and Abu black max that I have. So if you're not looking to spend a fortune get the origin but if you're looking for the best of the best try the concept z.

[@josephhillman8831]

When you had to let that bass get out of the weeds were you cutting wind or was that the drag LOL !

[@traviswells8180]

Hell yes Alex. Excellent video.

[@RealisticFishing]

yay real life 😅

[@nashguy207]

I have been enjoying your intros there pretty cool. Do you this is a good real for someone wanting to learn how to cast a bait casting reel ?

[@RealisticFishing]

not exactly, this uses a unique brake system

[@TheJuggaloFishingPosse]

Ive heard good things about it so far. More good than bad anyway. Would love to find one at a decent price somewhere

[@RealisticFishing]

It was worth $58 in my opinion. 👍

[@cmeplumb]

What’ll be your next 13 reel? I have a concept a but it’s not worth the price to me. I do like their rods, I have an omen and a fate chrome

[@RealisticFishing]

I think I will move on to something else (another brand), eventually.

[@WorlockBojangles]

Not gonna lie it kinda gives it a bone white look after a while. Think Jerry Cantrells guitars in the 90s. Lol I dig it.

[@koreywilliams4570]

I have a baitcaster but I have no idea how to properly use it. I have it set up for catfishing and I tried to bass fish with it but couldn't figure out how to keep it from backlashing.
