13 Fishing Concept A3 LH

13 Fishing is one of the most popular reel manufacturers in the USA.

A Baitcaster Built for Big Baits

The second generation of the 13 Fishing Concept A3 Series consists of extremely robust, low-profile baitcasters. Designed with a clear focus on power and durability, the Concept A3 Generation 2 Series was built to handle large lures and big fish. The aluminium frame has been treated with the 'Ocean Armor 2' process to make it highly resistant to corrosion, which means these reels are equally at home in salt water and brackish water as they are in fresh water. The raw power of the reel comes from a hardened brass gear developed and manufactured to Japanese Hamai precision standards. The carbon drag delivers a substantial 18 kg of braking force - more than enough to put the brakes on your next personal best. Additional features include an alarm drag, an Arrowhead line guide, an integrated hook keeper, and the 'Beetle Wing Rapid Access side plating system' - a wing-door mechanism that lets you open the side plate with minimal effort for straightforward maintenance. The reel ships with both a single-handle and a double-handle crank, so you can easily adapt it to the conditions and your own preferences. All told, this is the ideal choice for casting large lures in both fresh and salt water; in Europe it is particularly well suited to pike, heavy zander fishing, and largemouth bass.

Available in 3 Gear Ratios

The 13 Fishing Concept A3 LH is available in 3 versions with different gear ratios. The high-speed version at 8.1:1 is ideal for fishing large surface lures or when drifting quickly by boat - you can keep pace with even a fast drift without tiring yourself out. For soft lure and hard lure applications, the standard version at 6.3:1 is the one to go for, letting you work big pike lures all day long and covering a wide range of situations. If you favour high-resistance baits such as large bucktail spinners or XXL spinnerbaits, reach for the lowest gear ratio at 5.5:1 to keep sufficient power in reserve even when the lure is pushing hard against the water.
