Quick take
A 200 size baitcast reel with 7.5:1 gear ratio and 25 lb drag for bass fishing in fresh and saltwater.
The Concept C2 is a right-hand-retrieve baitcaster with a 7.5:1 gear ratio, so each turn of the handle brings in roughly 29.7 inches of line. It pairs a carbon-reinforced frame with an aluminum drive gear, 25 lb of maximum drag and nine bearings, and the spool holds about 125 yards of 12 lb line. At 5.89 ounces, it suits anglers who want a light, fast reel for casting lures.
