OHHH AHHHH more hype from 13 fishing. No thanks.
Adding magnets is nothing new. Fancy new carbon frame materials - nothing new. CZB bushings that actually do need oil ... yawn.

Re: At the end of the day, did you like the 13Fishing Concept Z?
I think the fact that they are on Ebay for almost half of what they sold for a year ago combined with the number of negative user reviews on this site is your answer. I purchased mine from Tacklewarehouse about a year or so ago with great anticipation but it proved inconsistent, it would cast well s...

Re: Do you keep back up reel
Yep, I sure do. ..when I find a favorite reel at a great sale price, I'll buy a second for sure... sometimes a third.

Re: Store brand rods and reels
The competition between Bass Pro and Cabelas pushed them both to be competitive with their offerings at different price points, now, .. not so much. I liked the Cabelas house brand (rebadged Daiwa) stuff better. Now that Bass Pro has taken over, they are phasing out most of the Cabelas house brands...
Re: Lews
I've got nothing bad to say about Lews reels, I have a few TEAM LEWS reels that have served me well. No problems over the 6 or 7 years. I have no experience with LEWS newer stuff. Yes, I've got Curados, Zillions and all that stuff too. I pretty much have a love/hate relationship with Curados... but ...

Re: Sadly done with Shimano Baitcasters
I am split between the two depending on application. The Daiwas work better for me with lighter lures at lower price points. I really like the mag braking system with the SV spool reels. I don't even think about it backlashing, even with my TATULA ct. I think the TATULA ct is really good for the und...

Re: Considering a baitcaster finally.
Remove the non handle sideplate and look inside. Does your reel have internal centrifugal brakes and magnetic brakes, usually if you remove the non handle sideplate, you can see the little white tabs in the spool , and / or magnets inside the non-handle sideplate. If you have centrifugal brakes (lit...

Re: Considering a baitcaster finally.
Youtube is your friend. Go over to youtube and watch the videos about setting up a baitcaster. Learn about the different types of braking systems in general and you'll understand what the problem is. Gear ratio doesn't mean squat if your baitcaster is not setup properly. Gear ratio is about the retr...
