13fishing Concept Z SLD 6.8:1 — Adaptive Cast Control On the Fly

The Concept Z SLD Generation II sets a new standard for baitcasting reels with its adjustable SLIDE magnetic cast control system, allowing you to fine-tune your cast mid-flight without missing a beat.

SLIDE Magnetic System – Adjust During the Cast

The thumb-accessible SLIDE magnetic brake sits exactly where you need it, letting you compensate for wind gusts or switch between pitching and flipping techniques on alternating casts. Combine or isolate the 6-way low-friction centrifugal brake with the magnetic SLIDE for complete casting versatility.

CZB Technology and Advanced Polymer Drag

Zero-corrosion CZB bearings (6 + 1 Dead Stop anti-reverse) deliver smooth performance in any conditions. The 20 lb / 9 kg Advanced Polymer drag system resides within a hi-tech Cast Iron Carbon frame and side plates, offering both durability and reduced weight. The Ti-Armor aluminium Hamai cut drive gear and reinforced clutch cam handle powerful fish with confidence.

Choose the Right Variant

The Concept Z SLD is available in three retrieve ratios to match your technique and target species:

• 6.8:1 (68 cm per turn, 190 g) – Balanced all-rounder for crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and steady retrieves when you need power and control for pike, zander, and bass

• 8.3:1 (83 cm per turn, 190 g) – High-speed retrieve for fast-moving lures, jigs, and quick line pick-up when targeting active predators
