13 Fishing Concept A3 Baitcasting Reel 3 5.1:1 Left

13 Fishing Concept A3 — Built for Big-Bait Power

The Concept A3 5.1:1 left-hand baitcasting reel delivers the drag force and gearing strength you need to land trophy pike and saltwater predators with confidence.

Unstoppable Drag and Hardened Gearing

At the heart of the A3 sits the H.A.M. (Hardened brass) drive gear, precision-cut using Japanese Hamai methods for smooth, durable power transmission. The 40 lb / 18 kg Carbon Bull Drag system provides serious stopping power when big fish make their run, while the reinforced clutch cam handles the torque of oversized lures and hard-fighting fish.

Built to Last in Fresh and Saltwater

The HD aluminium frame features Ocean Armor 2 protection to resist corrosion in harsh saltwater environments. Seven bearings (including two High Spin corrosion-resistant bearings, four stainless steel bearings, and one Dead Stop anti-reverse) ensure fluid operation. The Arrowhead line guide, Generation II hard-anodized worm shaft, and low-friction 6-way braking system give you precise control, while the Beetle Wing side plate offers rapid spool access for quick adjustments on the water.

Choose the Right Variant

The Concept A3 is available in three left-hand retrieve configurations to match your technique:

• 5.1:1 (64 cm per turn) — Power-focused retrieve for working big baits slowly, cranking large swimbaits, and applying maximum pressure on heavy fish

• 6.3:1 (73 cm per turn) — Versatile mid-speed option for a wide range of techniques and lure weights

• 8.1:1 (94 cm per turn) — Fast retrieve for quickly picking up slack, burning lures, and covering water with aggressive presentations
