Review of the 13 Fishing Origin A Baitcasting Reel - Fishing Tackle Review

[@kayseven520]

I love the fact that your review channel is separate from your sponsors. You give an honest unbiased opinion which a lot of people don’t do that. Been watching your channel for years keep up the good work!

[@connorrieck264]

I LOVE how you have a separate channel for reviews that you can give your honest opinion from. Most KZbin anglers say they weren’t paid to say something but they really were. Thank you for being different!

[@secondchanceoutdoors3140]

Like the reviews and highly respect the fact that your not letting your sponsors hold you back in what you do and say.

[@noahsmith7438]

I like that your reviews aren’t unboxing like everyone else’s. I can read the website too and the stats on the box. Keep up the good work!

[@jeremiahgiles3593]

I like that the reviews you do are REAL reviews where you've used the product and didn't just do an unboxing and then judge it off face value

[@nathanb400]

Been watching your videos for about 2 Years now and love them! I’ve learned so much from your channel and I bought a 13 Fishing inception and fate black 2 setup myself because of your testimony of their products. Great review.

[@maxlhemp]

I like the reviews on for the budget angler. Anything up to $150 I love. Cause you can always find a deal on it somewhere for a better price. And a good honest review from someone that fishes it for a good amount of time makes all the diffence. Do more reviews

[@danchilds881]

I am just getting back into bass fishing and picked up the bad habit of kayaking fishing (bad to my bank account any way!). I greatly appreciate the fact that you re including reviews from throughout the price ranges. Right now, I am trying to build my arsenal on a fairly low to medium budget; being able to watch these reviews and the videos on your "Flukemaster" channel saves me a ton of time and money! I honestly and fully believe you when you say that you speak only the truth about how you review products, sponsors or not. I have learned a lot from you and thank you.

[@dustinh806]

Gene, highly respect your opinion, all equipment I have purchased is based off of your review... Okuma TCS rod based on your review, most recently 13 fishing inception reel that I matched with it and others. I am sold on 13 fishing and am saving my penny’s to get your frog rod. My son who will be 13 in February and I love to fish... he works every Monday helping clean our church and is saving for a bait caster set up because he loves using mine and based on your review of this reel it will be a great first real for him!!! Thank you for your clean family friendly vids that my son and I enjoy and the time you take to do instructionals and reviews... helps fisherman like my son and I to decide on products and learn new techniques!!! Keep up the good work. Would love to see another review on that frog rod, I know you already did one looks like a great product. 👍🏻

[@normanwillsie5145]

Your honesty is without question. Thank you for the great job you do on both channels!

[@shawnaranyos5368]

I love the reviews. It's good to see your honest personal opinions about reels,rods,be nice to see some more kayak fishing reviews in the future. I also look forward to watching future reviews from you. Keep up the good work! FISH ON!

[@danchilds881]

I am glad you are taking the time to review equipment that isn't all high end stuff. I fish on a very tight budget and usually only get new stuff when I have the opportunity to hustle some extra work. This year, I have a Son graduating high school and he has plans to attend Kansas University. I have a Daughter graduating from Kansas State University and 2 Daughters getting married within one month of each other this fall. Long story short; I am a Daddy first and always will put them before me! So, I don't have money to just blow. I have been kicking the idea of another baitcaster and setting up a frog rod. I am a heck of a lot closer to pulling that trigger with this review!!!!! Thanks Gene!

[@matthewmoore5840]

I happy to see this new content on this channel again. I know emotionally, it wasn’t easy to start up again. Thanks for all you do, your channel has taught me a lot. Please review some more ONE3 and 13 Rods, when you can.

[@midwestoutdoorsman274]

bought one of these reels on black Friday and am dying to use it once spring comes. Love watching these videos, especially of rods and reels around the 70-100 dollar price range

[@kylegellner4101]

I really like how you give positives and negatives in your reviews, and love how you tested casting distance. Really helps in making a purchasing decision. Bought the concept Z after watching your review. Love to see some more comparisons between high dollar reels and maybe even rods.

[@kevingray7515]

Glad to see you doing reviews on this channel again Gene

[@clsanefor]

I am confident that any product you review will be thoughtful and honest. Looking forward to the next review.

[@justinparker9807]

I like that you use the stuff before you review it not just pull it out of the box and tell us it feels good. Keep it up, I say review anything you think is relevant we’re here to learn from your experience.

[@cameronsmith3098]

I love your reviews because they're so in-depth and give a lot of detail to the product review great job

[@mikemcfarland2722]

Love watching your reviews you always tell it how it is weather it’s good or bad. And I’m glad to see the review channel come back to life.

[@brycepope6768]

You should totally review the origin tx! That reel has really caught my eye lately. I just want to know how good it is! You have helped me a lot in learning about bass fishing and it has been invaluable. Thank you!

[@christopherhill4600]

I have a couple of the white origins and a couple of inceptions. Love my 13 fishing equipment. Thumbs up to your channels. Thank you.

[@joelshaffett9273]

I'm probably too late but it's ok. I have learned more in the last 2 weeks watching your other channel than I have in the past two years of fishing. Keep it up! As far as content goes I haven't seen all your videos yet so I'll just encourage you to keep doing what your doing, it's great!

[@darrenwu6348]

I love your reviews because I get to learn a lot about whatever your reviewing. Maybe review the most versatile rod you have or you favorite soft plastic craw.

[@drewfreeland8792]

Your reviews are awesome! I love how u go super in depth and not just take it out of the box and do a review. I can't afford super nice reels so I think this will be my best option for the price.

[@adamm4411]

I like ur reviews cause ur honest about stuff thanks to u iv saved money by listening to ur reviews and I feel better about buying an item that uv reviewed both ur channels are great!

[@nickcavazos5718]

As always a good review. Alot of so called reviews talk about stuff that isn't important and doesn't help decide on a purchase. You keep them about what matters to the user. Thanks for that , and thanks for the chance to win.

[@welchins77]

A review on something your not sponsored with. Something new your not used to using. I like your honesty on your reviews, great job!

[@bloodmogul]

Thanks for the review. I've been thinking about getting the reel for my second baitcast setup I currently have a black max combo. Love the channel man!

[@graytonnorrell1146]

did you get it i have a black max combo rn but is this reel worth it

[@Codybarnett23]

I was actually looking for this review on your channel yesterday because I was thinking about buying this reel. I have it saved in my cart on tacklewarehouse lol. It's kinda funny that you put up the review today! Big fan of your channels, keep it up!

[@joehenriquez6569]

love all your videos because you are a true person and state whats real that's so nice and refreshing when you look around at everyone trying to get a sponsorship and get something for free loved your videos from I cast I am interested in a new frog rod and you showed the one you helped design and sayed you would be doing a follow up on it I never saw it would love to get a review on that rod

[@jeremycooley9769]

Thanks for the review. Love to see some rod reviews. There seems to be tons of reel reviews on KZbin but not as many rod reviews and content on what makes a rod work well.

[@adangutierrez749]

Would like to see a review on 13 fishing rods. Keep up the excellent work! I learn the most from your channel then any other KZbinr channels.

[@jacobjohnson6537]

I really like how you did the Concept Z review, I think you should have more comparison tests in your reviews such as the casting distance! It’s nice to see the reel go head to head with others in their price range. Keep up the videos man, love both the channels.

[@tylerwhite1285]

Great review. I am looking for another good baitcaster to add to my arsenal. Just started fishing last year and your videos have been amazing for helping give me guidance for catching some quality fish while I’m out on the water. If your ever down in NC I would love to meet you. I live right around falls lake. I would like to see you do a review and some comparisons with some affordable options for some rod and reel combos. Keep the videos coming!

[@MrCMyers11]

Love the hard work you are putting in for the fishing community! Keep up the good work fluke!!!

[@aydenwoelk5909]

I love both of you're Chanel's gene and they both have made me become a better fisherman. Keep up the good work 👍

[@jacoboneill9247]

I really enjoy both of your channels. Very useful information on both.

[@xaviergarza7713]

Thank you for the review on the Origin A. I just got a fate black casting rod, but I haven't decided what reel I want to throw on there yet. I'm only a weekend warrior, the Origin A and fate black would probably be a good set up. Flukemaster I'de like to see you fish the potholes in Washington state sometime, I grew up fishing those lakes and I think you would love it out there. There are so many lakes to choose from and they're perfect to fish off your kayak. Hope to see you out here sometime!

[@raymondtriplett9949]

Hey there fluke. Another great video and great review. 13 is becoming common in my arsenal as others fade away. Make a video on whatever. I’ll watch it and I’m sure I’ll learn something. I need this reel.

[@jimmyscottfishing1537]

Great review. Review of safety equipment, really anything you review is fine. Your genuine and trustworthy.

[@bluegrassbassin5639]

Great review as always! Been a fan of your channels for a longtime learned a lot from watching! Keep up the awesome work man!

[@johncoyote6755]

You turned me on 13 a couple years ago. I have a fleet of inceptions. I did the boca ceramic upgrades. Nice reels. Thanks gene! Go dawgs!

[@scottnstuff7352]

I like that you use them for a good while before reviewing.

[@yakcaptnkirk719]

Great review! Always like your honesty on this channel.

[@codywayne35]

I’m glad you review some of the cheaper stuff because I’m a beginner and on a tight budget. I will definitely check into this reel when I get ready to buy another reel.

[@josealfaro797]

Your absolutely awesome man! Enjoy all your videos and I always pick up on something new.

[@flameinhaler4972]

Love the videos! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to give us all entertainment and education.

[@The_KingPin87]

Love all your content gene. I learn something new almost every video. Maybe review on stuff that is more kayak related. Tight lines my friend

[@RichFrollini]

Thanks for the honest reviews... With all of that drag, I bet the 8 speed would be great for froggin'

[@horadin]

Great reviews, I would like to see come Kayak fishing gear reviews. Just got a kayak recently and can't decide what I want to do as far as a depth finder, rod holders, cooler, etc.

[@jakeroseberry6551]

I really like the reviews I was thinking about getting a few of these reels because I am just starting a fishing team at my university and 13 fishing is just an awesome brand!

[@2417icelandgoblin]

You convinced me just ordered one! Also, Texas rigged a bright soft worm and dragged across the opening to a nice quite spawning area.... and boom first 3lb large mouth after 10 casts! Thanks for the great tips of the trade! Folsom Lake CA

[@buttersidedown8006]

just bought one in 2023 and yeah it’s solid does surprisingly well with weightless texas rigs and light stuff

[@nathanielrada1009]

I like your reviews for the fact you don’t bs us I test some of the stuff you have told us about and I got basically the same feelings you was talking about that is what makes me come back time and time again and if I wanted to see anything it’s more reviews lol

[@chiefvape4391]

Bought this reel last year, has been the best reel in my arsenal. Truly amazing for their price point.

[@MEANDERJAYTHETWEAKER]

Chief Vape this is my first bait caster reel and I’m still learning but I love it

[@adamfrost2014]

Great review...i met you at the Field and Stream in Ohio and you showed me these new reels before they were in stores along with your new Jackson kayak... glad to see you are very consistent with your opinions whether one on one or in a setting where there are lots of viewers. Love my concepts but gotta get one of these as well.

[@giuseppe_explores]

Love to see these reviews from a guy like you! Been following for a long time on your other channel and have always taken your insight on things. With you also in the kayak world, definitely awesome seeing you out there in the yak! Keep up the good work and cant wait to see what else you have in store!

[@dongonefishin5386]

Love the reviews Fluke! Keep it up. I also like that you're reviewing equipment in my price point. Maybe someday I can afford to buy the top shelf equipment but for now I'm a shopper.

[@ericwilliams8116]

Nice review. I might have to add this. To the list of possible next reels.

[@steveminer2645]

Love both your channels! Would love to see more reviews.

[@DDIFishing]

Love that u r completely honest on your reviews, keep it up!

[@Joe690533]

I like having your honest opinion on products and would like to see some on budget rods and also maybe the 6th sense crank baits been hearing good things about them I just haven't bit the bullet to try them myself yet keep up the great work Gene love all your videos

[@bloodswordoffire22]

Got an origin a for Christmas. I'm in Michigan so I haven't been able to use it yet. Can't wait to try it.

[@garybon.]

I'd like to see a review of the mayfly kayak. I like that you go into a lot of detail in the reviews. I'd like it if you reviewed non sponsor items more often or review baits. Keep up the good work!

[@bradduff5898]

Really enjoy your reviews, it lead me to buy a blackout rod a year ago or so and I love it. Keep the reviews coming 👍🏻😁

[@hank77lewis]

Gene thank you for being a pivotal influence in my bass fishing experience. I would really enjoy you taking the "Top 6" rated reel brands on the market and fishing with them for two months at a time (does not have to be simultaneously) and doing a year review on them. Thanks for sharing the wealth of wisdom!

[@denchar1741]

Good review...got myself two Inception from TW during their Black Friday sale; can't wait to try them but with over 2ft of ice on the river where i live that will take a while.

[@sjkepner]

Thank you for reviewing fishing gear that matches the price point of most of your followers. Maybe a future review on an inexpensive rod that could be matched with that reel.

[@stevenmurray7868]

You're reviews are always top notch sir. Would be nice to see a review on some non sponsorship products. Like the v&m soft plastics or the catch co. Items from mystery tackle box as they have started making their own products would be nice to see you review those

[@eriktalty1251]

I love the reviews. Good insight on buying something I’ve never used.

[@jaypdollar8527]

Great Review. Great to see them return.

[@soldiermffm1969]

Just got my order from tackle wearhouse for this reel an matching pole... cant wait to give it a test

[@hillbillyproductions8353]

Thanks, I would like to see a review of budget rods.

[@bassmaster0002]

Another great review, i would like to see a review of the 13 spinning reels

[@ryanshiflet1015]

I really like 13 fishing reels my grandpa bought me a concept z and it is the best thing I've ever used can u do a review on some of their rods plz

[@mikegodsey5508]

Great video. Keep up the good work. I think you have covered so much in fishing that I do not know what something different you could cover would be. Fish on and God Bless!!

[@HuntDawg146]

I had this reel in my hand the other day at Field and Streams and was gonna get it but wanted to watch a few vids on it first. Thanks Fluke

[@rollo6203]

Great review. I'm planning on getting a kayak soon so any type of kayak gear/ accessory reviews would be awesome.

[@trentbrannon3079]

Love your reviews. Would love to see you compare reels/rods/tackle you like vs ones you don’t.

[@jcleveland9961]

Hey Gene, I love the reviews man, I love all your videos on your other channels too. Keep up the good work! Ps. Tell Chad to crank out some more vids

[@Dealuvsbill]

Heard your not going to make it tomorrow, maybe next time. The offer for dinner and fishing is always there. Thanks for the knowledge!!

[@beautamanini6627]

Awesome videos, a review of the origin C would be great!

[@lethalone1977]

love that they come in left handed 6.6.1.... maybe getting one now with a Fate Black rod. Thank you for the review and Go Dogs!!!

[@craigjones4104]

Great Review. Love your channels. Keep up the good work.

[@nathanladuke1754]

i would love to see you review other brands cant wait !!!!your videos have inspire me to bass fish..

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Thanks for the review Gene. I hope you can review the 13 Fishing Prototype X spinning-reel soon. I love 13 fishing I hope the get the PX right!

[@zachshott7833]

Would like to check one of those origin reel out. The inception was a lower price point reel and I'm happy with those for the most part.

[@tonydulac4344]

Love your reviews. Would like to see some rod reviews of something other than 13.

[@braedenmoening5562]

Would like to see a review of your kayak gear management. I’m considering the black pak or new wilderness krate. Thanks!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

I don't know why, Gene, but I trust you lol. No 8 Tackle and 13 Fishing owe all of my business to you. I hope they take good care of you. Hope you are doing well and keep the videos coming!

[@zjjaksn]

Enjoy the videos. Was looking at this reel to fill up an empty rod I have. Review the Curado K next!

[@stevensmith7014]

I enjoy both channels and i appreciate your honesty when it comes to products and other things companies try to run gimmicks on. I personally have handled this reel and i think it is a good starter reel or like you said to use sparingly but if you fish alot then i recommend spending alittle extra and getting a bit better reel you will be much happier in the long run.

[@nicholaswesley7303]

I like your reviews! I think some more lower end affordable rod and reels reviews would be awesome!

[@Lqviolin2]

Love ur videos. I was very happy for this review since I only have a spinning reel and am interested in learning to use a bait caster.

[@hooked_for_freedom1026]

Hey Flukemaster! I love all the content you post on both channels. Your very honnest in your reviews and I love that you kayak fish. I would say I'm an intermediate fisherman and I love 13 fishing. I would love to see other reviews on brands that you support and believe in. Maybe even kayak brands you believe in and wanted to review. Anyways love all your content and I hope I win! Thanks.

[@bryanwaters945]

I would like you to review the Piscifun Phantom bait caster.

[@masonwright2304]

Good work Gene, sounds like a great reel, I would love to try I think out

[@tarvos307]

Would love to see some kayak gear reviews! Awesome video, keep it up!

[@kennycantin3872]

Nice review. May have to add a couple of these to replace some old stuff.
