Quick take

A left-hand baitcasting reel with a 7.5:1 gear ratio, Japanese precision drive gear and 10 bearings for smooth casting.

The Concept TX2 is a 200-size low-profile baitcasting reel built around a cast-iron carbon frame and side plate. This left-hand retrieve version has a 7.5:1 gear ratio and weighs about 6.13 ounces, so it suits anglers who want fast line pickup for casting jigs, crankbaits and similar lures. Ten bearings and an alert drag clicker round out the package, and it comes with a skull cap reel cover.

Best for

  • Left-handed anglers using baitcasting rods
  • Casting lures with control and precision
  • Freshwater bass fishing

Skip if

  • You are right-handed
  • You want to fish with monofilament only

Strengths

  • High gear ratio provides fast lure retrieval
  • Japanese hamai-cut precision drive gear ensures smooth operation
  • Alert drag clicker lets you hear line leaving the spool

Trade-offs
