Interesting. They will sell a bunch. The other reel manufacturers will be right behind if the concept is valid.
Seems it doesn't have zero bearings. It has zero conventional ball bearings. The new bearings are made with high tech polymers.

I'll bite. I'm a 13 guy. Smoothest reels I've ever owned. And I've owned just about all of them.

A replacement for the Concept A. Orange is the new black...... I have the E, C, and TX. Something about the C doesn't feel as solid or smooth as the E or TX. If this new one is as smooth as the TX I will be replacing all of my other reels at $200 each.

MSRP is $200. I thought it'd be a lot more. I'm not too pleased with 13 because I have had issues with my C in saltwater, but for $200 I'll try it out.
