Quick take
Left-hand baitcaster with 6.3 gear ratio for general casting and a 40 lb drag system.
The 13 Fishing Concept A3 is a low-profile baitcasting reel in the 300 size with a 6.3:1 gear ratio and a left-hand retrieve. It pairs an aluminum frame with a brass drive gear, seven bearings and an anti-reverse stop, and its carbon drag tops out around 40 pounds. At roughly 10 ounces, it suits anglers casting mono, fluoro or braid for bass and similar species in fresh or salt water.
