Specs on shallow spool?

Do you know when you will have the specs on the shallow spool like weight and line capacity?

JWR,

We should have some information to release on the deep and shallow spools soon. We like to wait until we have the final prototype approved prior to actually giving specifications. We are happy to give general information but we don't want to print specs until we are sure that they are accurate. The KP spool will be slightly shallower than the A, C, and E spools(approximately 75yds vs. 100yds)with the ceramic hybrid bearings we don't want to go too shallow....the reel casts ridiculously long and we designed it to handle all types of fishing, it isn't just a finesse reel like many of the ultra high end ultra light baitcasters.

Matt, a small follow up question.

Will the KP spool fit the A,C, and E reels? Also will there be a silver carbon handle to match the reel seat hood of the Omen rods? Oh any more thoughts on a Black Betty fly rod and a nice 3wt 7'6" ENVY fly rod?

Thanks so much for answering all of my (and the rest of us on here) questions.

JWR,

Yes, the KP spool will fit the other Concept Reels, and it will be available for purchase in our parts program. We do not have any plans for a "silver carbon" handle to match the Omen, but it is a pretty solid idea. We have many ideas, for many very cool parts and materials...we will be adding things to the "13 Trickshop" as new designs and parts are approved. Expect a pretty solid array of colors to come first and many material and custom design hardware to be added as the program as it develops. The 13 Trickshop is all about adding the WOW factor to your reel, so as soon as you customize your Concept we will introduce something even cooler to get you jacked up!

No fly tackle in the immediate future, but anything is possible.
