Concept 13 reels. I won one of their lower line reels (Concept A about $175 full retail)as a door prize. Only used it a few times seems to be OK so far. Not sure about durability yet. Only had it out twice. It casts real good now. We'll see after a year of so. I've had some Diawa and Quantum reels (lower line) that were good at first but after less than a year fell apart.

I bought a concept A 8:1 and I like the cork handles and the internal mag adjustment but it doesn't seem quite as smooth as my Lews especially for the money but overall a good reEl.

I had never heard of them before but got one as a gift for Christmas. I have Chronarchs, Abu Garcia Revos, but the Concept 13 casts better and has a smoother drag system. So far I lilke it.

Bought one last year think its the E model. Cast great feels very sturdy and smooth. Its better than the 3 350.00 shims I bought last year what a disappointment they were.

13 Fishing makes great products. I have many of the Concept A and C reels about 15 or so. I have probably 20 Omen Black 1, Omen Black 2 and Envy rods. Both great quality and customer service. Have broke a few fishing and had replacement rods in my hand within 10 days. I am in no way affiliated with or sponsored by 13 Fishing. They just make a good product at a good price.

I have Curados and Chronarchs. Received 2 Concept reels as gifts and if I went and bought a new reel tomorrow it would be another Concept..

I have the C model and so far I agree with Scott's Creek Skeeter. I would have to buy another one. Best kept secret I have run across.

Concept reels are made by 13 Fishing based in Tampa,Fl. They also have GREAT rods, I'm using their Black Envy 7'3" Heavy for light flipping and pitching(3/4-1oz weights) My daughter gave me a Concept A,8:1 ratio for my 7'11'XXX heavy rod for Father's Day. Like it so much I'm buying the Concept"C" 8:1 for the 7'3". Tackle Warehouse sells 13 Fishing. Was leary of buying reel because No reel repair/service place I contacted works on them. Called 13 Fishing about it, any repairs/cleaning is done In House, problem solved.
