13 Fishing Concept A2 Baitcasting Reel 5.6:1 Left

13fishing Concept A2 — Reliable Power for Every Cast

The Concept A2 5.6:1 left-hand baitcaster combines robust construction with tournament-grade performance. Its Bulldog Carbon Drag System delivers 11 kg of stopping power, while the H.A.M. Japanese Hamai-cut hardened brass drive gear ensures smooth, reliable cranking for big fish.

Built to Last

The HD aluminium frame with Ocean Armor 2 treatment and anti-electrolysis screw pads resists corrosion in fresh and saltwater. Seven bearings (including two High Spin corrosion-resistant bearings, four stainless steel bearings, and one Dead Stop anti-reverse bearing) guarantee smooth operation. The reinforced clutch cam and Generation II hard-anodized worm shaft handle repeated heavy loads without fail.

Precision Casting and Control

The Low-Friction 6-Way Braking System lets you fine-tune brake settings for all lure weights, from finesse soft plastics to heavy swimbaits. The Arrowhead Line Guide reduces line twist and wear, while the ultra-low profile design offers 25% more line capacity (0.33 mm / 114 m) without increasing overall size. The Beetle Wing Rapid Access Side Plate provides quick access for adjustments, and the integrated KeepR hook keeper secures your lure between casts.

Choose the Right Variant

The Concept A2 series is available in four gear ratios to match your technique and target species:

• 5.6:1 (56 cm retrieve, current product) — power cranking for deep-diving crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and chatterbaits; ideal for pike, zander, and bass in heavy cover

• 6.8:1 (68 cm retrieve) — versatile all-round ratio for jerkbaits, topwater lures, and medium-depth cranking

• 7.5:1 (75 cm retrieve) — fast retrieve for jigs, Texas rigs, and reaction baits when you need quick line pick-up

• 8.3:1 (83 cm retrieve) — high-speed finesse fishing for drop shots, Ned rigs, and fast-moving topwater presentations

All variants feature left-hand retrieve, 211 g weight, and 11 kg maximum drag.
