Its actually available in both. My understanding is a power handle "synthetic" comes with each reel.

Here is the first sneak peek:

This is going to be absolutely perfect for the big bait fisherman - Swimbait & Musky guys for example.

I cant wait to see the other stuff!

Gotcha! If that is all you need (additional stock spools), just email info@13fishing.com with what you would like. They said they can get those for you. Tight lines!

I have 60 lb braid on 2 Inceptions right now, and have more than enough ...

Something like a 6.6:1 or in that range is a great multi-purpose reel IMO. Is it perfect for everything, of course not. But when looking at a ratio that can do a lot of techniques really well it does a great job. Next would for multi-purpose would be a 7.3 or 7.1 as mentioned.

Yeah in that range I'd go with the Omen Gen 2 personally... With that said, the Blackout is a very good rod for under $100.

The majority of my set-ups are 13 Fishing Rods. I just feel like for the price, they can't be beat and I'm big on value.

Strike King Burner Spinnerbait. I really like the blades they use on these, they turn perfect at very high speeds.

I can't speak to the Bass Kicker, but the Wobbletron is one of the best frogs I've used! Really like throwing it, and its replaced some of my buzzbait usage as well.

I'm with everyone else, Mend It works GREAT to expend the life of otherwise junk plastics. It will pay for itself many times over once you get the hand of it. Another thing that has saved me tons of money on Plastics (maybe it was mentioned and I missed it) is super gluing my plastics to the jig whe...

4" Chigger Craw in Green Pumpkin. This is about the only open-water (ie: non-flipping) jig trailer I use at this point. The Smallmouth love it on football / arkie jigs.

I love the Rapala Touch Scale, personally. I'm also a northern angler so 15 lbs is plenty for me lol. I understand it may not be for others.

I've had good success with the VMC tungsten bullet weights - zero complaints in 2+ years of use. I can't say for certain since I haven't bought any in quite some time, but I think they are on the cheaper end as well.

This is great thread - great question darrin! I'm a Northern Angler, so w/ the Drop Shot I target smallmouth 99% of the time in very clear water. For this reason, I'm a spinning rod guy. For this application, I've found the reel to be less important, so long as the drag works well. My current reel i...
