13 Fishing Concept A3 Baitcast Reel – 8.1:1 Gear Ratio – Right Hand – CA3-8.1-RH
The 13 Fishing Concept A3 Baitcast Reel is built for anglers who demand power, durability, and precision when targeting big fish with heavy techniques. Designed to handle hard-pulling species and high-resistance lures, the Concept A3 delivers smooth performance and rugged reliability in a compact, ergonomic profile.
Featuring a high-speed 8.1:1 gear ratio, this reel allows for fast line pickup—ideal for techniques like frogging, flipping, pitching, and burning large baits back to the boat. The HD aluminum frame and cutting-edge gear design provide the strength needed to manage heavy loads without flex, while maintaining smooth operation under pressure.
The Concept A3 is equipped with Black Seal corrosion-resistant bearings, a bulldog drag system, and advanced braking technology, giving anglers confidence in both freshwater and light saltwater environments. Designed for right-hand retrieve, this reel balances power and control for serious anglers who push their gear to the limit.
Key Performance Features
-
H.A.M. Gearing System: The "Hardened Brass" drive gear is cut with Japanese Hamai precision, making it significantly thicker and stronger than standard baitcaster gears to prevent stripping under heavy load.
-
40lb Carbon Bull Drag: Features a massive multi-material drag system that delivers up to 40 lbs of stopping power—enough to halt a trophy fish in its tracks.
-
Ocean Armor 2 Process: The aluminum frame and side plates undergo a specialized salt-protection treatment, making this reel as capable in the salt as it is in fresh water.
-
Beetle Wing Rapid Access: The side plate opens on a hinged system, allowing you to adjust the 6-way centrifugal braking system on the fly without the risk of dropping the side plate into the water.
-
Dead Stop Anti-Reverse: Eliminates any "play" or back-slap in the handle, ensuring instant hook sets when that big bite finally happens.

Angler's Pro-Tips
-
Handle Choice: This model uniquely ships with two handles. Use the Power Handle when throwing giant swimbaits or deep-diving cranks to reduce wrist fatigue. Use the Double Paddle for more balanced, traditional casting.
-
Brake Adjustment: For long-distance casting with heavy lures, start with 3 of the internal centrifugal brakes "clicked" on. As you get comfortable with the high-speed spool, move down to 2 or 1 for maximum distance.
-
Maintenance: Because the A3 is often used in saltwater, always rinse the reel with a light mist of fresh water after every trip. Do not use high-pressure water, as it can force salt deeper into the H.A.M. gears.
Built to dominate demanding fishing conditions, the 13 Fishing Concept A3 Baitcast Reel combines speed, strength, and durability—making it a top choice for anglers who won’t compromise on performance.
