Just flat out Love the reel. I have all Shimano tataulals and this reel flat out performs the ST by far. Casting distance is incredible, smooth and allows the angler to do one hand long casts without thumbing the spool and will run out the line on the spool. Drag has not failed me as well the reel has not bogged down upon retrieve on a heavy big o fish through the heavy grass. I have this reels on flipping, frogging and finesse rods set ups doesn’t matter what type of fish presentation you do, it just performs above expectations. Buy this reel for the cost , performance and feel you are not going to be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Currently without peer. A great reel. *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2018* This was my 6th Concept 13 reel, and the first time I have tried the "Z". At first glance the "Z" is slightly more compact than the White, my other five reels. It is also distinction ligher at a diminutive 6.4 oz. Matched with one of Sarge Customs Warthog 7ft 6" MH, I wanted to see how this combination worked for Redfish, my primary target. I use P-Line Halo Fluorocarbon 10#, with 200# Fluorocarbon leaders. Not only did the "Z" cast as far and as easily as the White, it handled Redfish to 28" comfortably. In fact, I never felt a lack of control even with the biggest of the Redfish. I'm a believer. The plastic bushing instead of standard bearings works flawlessly. No wonder this reel was cited as "reel of the year" in several publications. My reel has a quick 8.1.1 retrieve, meaning you can catch up if the fish runs to you. Very impressive and super light. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Super smooth, light weight, slick af paint job *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020* In use this reel in freshwater and saltwater both and it has been absolutely awesome. It’s super smooth both reeling and casting and the cast is practically silent. The paint job is legit and the color really looks great in person. It has a shine to it you just can’t see in photos online. Solid reel and I highly recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/441570799-13-fishing-concept-z-freshwater-saltwater-baitcasting-fishing-reel](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/441570799-13-fishing-concept-z-freshwater-saltwater-baitcasting-fishing-reel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
