20 sty 2017 · My experience with 13 reels was as follows: 1) Concept A - smoothest reel I've ever had, casted a mile, but the paint bubbled up all over the frame from corrosion. CS had it all fixed, for free, within 3 weeks. Looks brand new. 2) Concept A (another one) - no problems, smooth as silk. 3) Concept C - bearings were toast after a short period of time.
6 sie 2020 · While this reel has a small and lightweight HD aluminum frame, 13 Fishing didn’t sacrifice line capacity to achieve it. Fortunately, the Concept A2 allows for 25% more line capacity without increasing the overall size of the reel.
The 13 reels aren’t built badly, but they lack refinement compared with most other brands, especially Shimano and Daiwa. They also have obvious problems with the quality control at Banax (the factory that manufactures 13’s reels).

I have 2 of the Defy series spinning rods, and Kalon reels for open water, and I enjoyed fishing them way more than I did my ugly stiks. Granted, I have never owned a real premium rod, but I was impressed with the 13 rods.
What have been your experiences with 13 Fishing Reels? I was originally drawn to them because of their drag system ratings, anti-corrosion and slide tech for their higher end. I have an old Inception (non G2 model) I got for a steal (<$40) and not super impressed.
