13 fishing fall reel11/23/2023 ![]() So far, it has taken a beating without any structural issues whatsoever. ![]() I’ve accidentally stepped on this reel on my front deck and I’ve loaded it into the bed of my truck to go fish a pond from the bank. Expect easy one-handed operation, smooth drag, and the perfect all-around gear ratio for shallow to mid-depth (5 - 50 ft.) ice fishing. It kind of took me a little while to get used to using such a light reel that felt so sturdy. The 13 Fishing FreeFall Ghost Reel features the revolutionary FreeFall trigger that allows hard water anglers to hit specific depths, and get instant hookups by releasing the trigger in the target zone. Weighing in at only 5.8 ounces, it’s also built from a cast iron carbon material that adds tons of strength to its frame while virtually eliminating any flex. Thankfully, 13 Fishing has created something pretty special with the Concept C2. I just don’t want to be replacing parts on it or feeling like I have to baby an expensive reel when I’m on the water. If it weighs another ounce or two, I don’t really care. I’m the kind of guy who wants to know my reel can take a beating. I’ve tested several like that, especially in the past two or three years. ![]() While that’s all good, a lot of these reels turn out to be flimsy and have somewhat of a cheap feel to them. Reel manufacturers are spending a lot of time and money to get their reels as lightweight as humanly possible. The 13 Fishing Concept C2 is available at these retailers: I wanted to share what I’ve learned about this reel, so I’ll quickly go through my thoughts and experiences with it. After putting it through just about anything I could think of, I can comfortably say that it’s going to be a mainstay on my front deck throughout the rest of the fall. I’ve used it with topwater lures, crankbaits, jerkbaits and I’ve even beefed up the line size and flipped a few boat docks with it. This has given me the perfect opportunity to test out the new 13 Fishing Concept C2 casting reel. They’re concentrated in small areas right now and I’m having to cast like a madman to find them. As the summer is quickly fading and fall takes its place, it has been imperative for me to fish quickly to find these moody, transitional bass. I like to eliminate as much dead water as possible, so I probably make more casts during a day than many anglers probably do. I fish very quickly most of the time especially when I’m on the water by myself.
