13 Fishing Concept A2 8.3:1 — Built for Speed and Trophy Fish

The Concept A2 8.3:1 left-hand baitcaster combines tournament-grade durability with blazing retrieve speed, delivering the precision and stopping power serious anglers demand.

Bulldog Carbon Drag for Maximum Stopping Power

The 25 lb (11 kg) Bulldog Carbon Drag System handles even the hardest-fighting trophy fish with confidence. Paired with the H.A.M. Japanese Hamai-cut hardened brass main gear, this reel offers unmatched strength and reliability when it counts.

Ultra-Low Profile with Enhanced Line Capacity

The ultra-low palm fitting profile delivers 25% more line capacity (0.33 mm / 114 m) without increasing overall size. Features like the Railed Clutch Cam, Gen II Line Guide, and new water channeling frame design ensure smooth operation and superior durability in all conditions.
