Thanks a million for this in depth review and for the complete honest truth. It really helps to weigh all the pros n cons before laying down the Franklins.

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

You’re welcome Jacob!! The biggest questions I got about it was about the memory of line the lower in the spool. Going straight braid you definitely wouldn’t have that issue. It’s a dope reel

[@cuivre2004]

Good review. I have an original Concept A and I needed to replace/upgrade it. My issue with the old reel is the designs I have to encounter when breaking it down to clean it. I have the super small springs and metal piece used as the "clicker" in the drag. I've gotten so used to the ease of break down of Lews, the Fishing 13 reels are a bit more of a pain to deal with. BUT- I still got a Gen 2 Concept A, since I'm hoping some parts are interchangable with the original version, if needed.

[@CreX_official]

Great review!! In Sweden we only use braid so the line memory is not an issue. Thanks! Will buy this reel.

Hey boss great video I think it'd be pretty cool if you want to take the time to do it to do a video on the best reels under 60 bucks. I have a couple of suggestions one would be the piscufin , and of course a black max. And the lews classic pro. It'd be interesting to see what you came up with and your thoughts on them. I use some of these reels and I have expensive reels and to be honest with you I have found some cheap reels that are excellent.

[@84neilbone]

Got to say my Daiwa tatula 150 HS from the start feel in love no problems here with mine. My only dislike is it's very easy for the number knob to back out on you. As far as tweaking mine had none I keep the knob at 8-14 and it cast far and smoothly with no backlashes. I always wanted to try a 13 fishing reel. Looks nice.

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

That’s awesome you didn’t have the same issues as me 🤣 I’m used to the ease of Shimano. But they don’t have as many brake settings. Like I said though, love my Tatulas

[@f.a.r.outdoors6094]

Have one and you are correct about the spool and what it does to the line. To be clear, I like the reel.

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Lol I like how we’re both clear about that. I like the reel a lot!!! But this one part sucks lol

[@f.a.r.outdoors6094]

I was not sold on 13fishing because I didn’t know about them. I like to give correct reviews before judging a fairly new company. I grew up on quantum and shimano and like both of those companies very much. I ended up buy four 13 reels and rods to judge for myself. They are getting better and better every year and have come a long way in just a few short years with their products. I’m still getting use to them and so far I like them. Are they the best, no, not yet anyway. I have the A2, C2, Z, and Z-SLD with two Defy rods an Omen rod and a Muze rod. I think they have a little more backlash in them than most other brands I have but they do cast well and the drag is awesome on them. I am satisfied with them so far.

[@Wanderingsamurai_life]

I grew up fishing quantum reels as a kid loved them. Is it worth switching to 13?

[@f.a.r.outdoors6094]

@@Wanderingsamurai_life this review was a few years ago, and now I can honestly say that it is definitely worth the switch. I own nothing but 13 Fishing rods and reels now. Love their products and they are a great company to deal with should you need anything!

Good point it give me something to think about thank you an God bless.

[@legitoutdoors4525]

The spool diameter thing doesn’t really bother me. After having fished with my Lews BB1 and having put line on it several times I realized that even as a cheap man having good line is the cheapest way to make sure you don’t lose fish. That’s just my opinion but either way. Great review! I appreciate the honesty.

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Quality line definitely makes a difference! No doubt about that Thanks dude!

[@TackleJunky81]

Nice review man! We do our reviews very similar, I don't go over any specs that can be found online or what's written on the box. I have the A2, but haven't spooled it up yet, but I'm loving the Z2 so far. Have you tried stretching your line to get the memory out? Works pretty good.

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

That’s a helluva compliment my friend! Thank you! I haven’t tried that actually, great tip! And man... that Z2 is SLICK, I still love the original Z and throw it a ton still. Might have to pick one up! After Christmas lol

Great review however I prefer a higher capacity because I’ve been spooled more than once on a shallow spool reel such as my beloved Shimano Curado E7. One never knows when that big flathead or giant Striper is going to decide to have a snack and eat a small bait lol.

[@rltdoutdoors]

nice review!

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Thanks man!!

[@MoniqueTrentREALTOR]

The cork knobs get sticky if you leave the reel in the heat of your car in FL. Black flat paint is flaking off. I cast the arrow head line guide through my rod eye yesterday, running a perfect FG knot/ wind on leader through it. Hook keeper is in the perfect spot to snag your braid while in use. Clutch relief click may just be so audible that my subsurface targets get spooked 🤦🏼‍♀️ Size is comfy, settings are versatile, drag is strong and consistent. Stays dialed in and fine tune settings seldomly require adjustments. Price was reasonable. I'll determine my overall satisfaction after navigating their warranty/ repair process this week.

[@jameslumpkins4609]

I'm a fl guy to thanks for the info gonna pass on this reel

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Got plenty of footage of me fishing that reel on the channel 👊🏻 I appreciate it!

[@lorenzgielis666]

Love the videos! I'm thinking about getting a new reel. Would you pick a 13 fishing concept a3 reel or a daiwa tatula 300 for casting heavy baits between 2 and 3,5 ounces)? thanks!

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Thank you!! So I have the A3 and Lexa WN. If you’re going to be throwing more slow moving baits, I say the A. If it’s gonna be more swimming baits or topwater go with the Daiwa. That’s what I have mine setup for! The pickup per turn is pretty high on the high gear Daiwas

[@willtrax71]

I have had both and sold my Concept A2 for a Loss and bought another SLX, it’s just a better smoother Reel and I have an Inception SZ that’s an amazing Reel and I actually prefer over the SLX. It’s where you check your drag it’s so smooth reeling to make sure it’s tight lol it’s one of those type of Reels.

[@smittys802fishin8]

Great review. If you use braided line the spool size doesn't really matter.

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Thanks dude! And you're absolutely right about the braid and spool size

[@ericdurst9715]

I've got a 13 fishing concept a and love it. I use it at the coast fishing for red fish and I use braid and haven't had no problems at all. I run straight braid no backing.

[@aninjarex2759]

You should fish braid then and thumb your spool more often if your worried about losing line would help you out buddy

[@thewaterox1]

Why not use braid backing? You never have to worry about the memory and you never have to replace the whole spool.

[@2b_outdoors182]

Looking for a casting reel for 1.5-2 oz swimbaits..would this or a tatula CT or a curado handle a bait that weight without flexing? I've had reels struggle under too much tension in the past

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Sorry for the late late response! But out of those 3, I'd go with a Curado 200 all day. Those reels just have beefier and better internals for the 'bigger' baits

[@raymondfrancoeur5544]

Good info as usual but I will keep my lews and Diwa

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Thanks Raymond! And no problem with that dude! They all will catch fish 👊🏻

[@charlesm.362]

Couldn’t you fill up the spool with braid to make it larger that switch to floro or mono? I’m thinking of buying this reel.

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

I think I mentioned that at some point, and if I didn’t, absolutely you can. Backing is the answer to that

[@8.21productions9]

if the spool is such an issue why not run backing? or use braid? that’d basically eliminate those issues.

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

It doesn’t eliminate that the spool is so deep and narrows... unless you’re going to fill the first third with backing. And that’s a waste. And I was specifically talking about flouro 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@legionssb]

Caught my first white bass Saturday, 17 inches, probably about 3 1/2 - 4 Ibs, world record white bass was 18.5 inches and 4 1/2 Ibs

Lol I got some comin for ya! Don’t worry about that. I’ve had guys asking for this vid for a while now

[@TheFishinAddict]

I see your point. But I thought most of us use backing under braid or flouro? I don’t know anybody that fills a spool with expensive line and expects to use the very bottom of the spool. That line is useless no matter what, hence using cheap crap mono under your expensive braid or flouro..

[@aaroncantu7702]

I was thinking of getting this reel I do saltwater fishing in Texas gulf coast and use 20lb braid so I shouldn't have this problem?

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Not a chance dude!! It’s just the memory you run into with straight fluorocarbon. A lot of guys have chimed in about braid and I know that won’t be an issue. Just wanted to address the flouro issue 👊🏻

ha,ha,ha,are you even being serious ,your bringing attention to line size at the very bottom of the spool!you mention being mindful of saving money on line because your working fulltime,have kids etc?that has NO bearing on the reel,thats a you thing,why even bring that up,the reel is awesome and you know it so lets be honest on the review,and while we are at it,IF YOU CANT AFFORD FISHING LINE AND HAVE TO BE FRUGAL WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF YOUR TACKLE YOU BETTER PICK A NEW HOBBY OR GET A SECOND JOB!!!!

Lol and you sound like a complete idiot with your piss poor English and grammar. But thanks for watching and giving me more views 😘

[@rossrobichaux9425]

@@OklahomasWorstAngler realistically once you get that far down how much of it is actually useable once I get to half spool I'm casting my line off I have lews sp, currado dc, 13 tx, and a bass pro Johnny Morris. Serious question.

WHY YOU COMPARING A 200 SIZE REEL TO A 150 SIZE??????

[@andresjurado4756]

muy malo ese video no es una estafa ese carrete esta muy equivocado

[@aarondavis8224]

Cant really compare the SLX to this reel. The SLX is $100 and the A2 is $180. The accurate comparison would be the curado 200k. If its my money spent Im fishing the curado lol.

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]

Lol not a comparison. Just showing another spool design to show the only real fault in the 13, in my opinion. Cant compare a 200 to a 150 either

Holds up reel to see the bad chip... Me - can't see it and doesn't want him to see my gear... Lol

[@OklahomasWorstAngler]
