Casting reel 13 FISHING Concept A2

13 Fishing Concept A Gen II casting reel

A versatile reel designed for uncompromising fishing

The Concept A Gen II establishes itself as a casting reel designed to accompany demanding anglers across a wide range of situations. Its ultra-low profile promotes a natural grip, while retaining real power reserves and a higher line capacity than the previous generation.

Comfortable, robust, and particularly pleasant to use, it meets the expectations of anglers who want a reel capable of handling back-to-back sessions with the same consistency, on technical fishing styles as well as more demanding approaches.

Robust and intelligent construction

HD aluminum frame and optimized design

The Concept A Gen II is built on an HD aluminum frame, combined with Ocean Armor 2 treatment and Anti-Electrolysis Screw Pads protection. This construction enhances the overall rigidity of the reel and improves its resistance to the demands of repeated use.

The new frame shape also promotes better water drainage, a real advantage for preserving comfort and reel durability under sustained conditions.

Mechanics built to last

Hamai transmission and reliable retrieval

At the heart of the reel sits a BOSS H.A.M. Hardened Brass Precision Cut brass drive gear, born of Japanese Hamai Precision craftsmanship. This technical choice delivers excellent power transmission, smooth and consistent retrieval, and a true sense of solidity when the reel is put under load.

The reinforced Railed Clutch Cam engagement also contributes to the overall reliability, with clean and durable operation, engineered to maintain precision and consistency across sessions.

A powerful and progressive drag

Bulldog Carbon to keep control

The Bulldog Carbon drag system is one of the standout features of the Concept A Gen II. Powerful and progressive, it allows you to stay in control during hard-fought battles and to effectively manage the runs of the most aggressive fish.

This power reserve secures the whole setup and allows the reel to be used across a variety of fishing styles with a high level of confidence, whether for precise retrieves or more intense fights.

Excellent casting control

Fine adjustment and versatile behavior

The Low-Friction braking system allows finer and more relevant adjustment depending on the weight of the lure used. The reel remains easy to tune and maintains healthy behavior across a wide range of applications.

The Gen II Line Guide, combined with the Arrowhead line guide, contributes to clean line flow and more consistent casting. The Concept A Gen II thus proves well-suited to fishing requiring precision, repetition, and control.

A practical reel on the water

Useful details for everyday use

As is often the case with 13 Fishing, the Concept A Gen II features several patented elements that improve ease of use. The Beetle Wing side plate allows quick access, convenient for adjustments and routine maintenance.

The integrated KeepR lure keeper adds an extra touch of practicality, especially appreciated when moving between spots or during lure changes.
