A durable low-profile baitcaster with a composite frame that resists corrosion in saltwater.
The 13 Fishing Origin TX is a low-profile baitcasting reel with a lightweight composite frame and a 7.3:1 gear ratio, built for both freshwater and saltwater use. A 6-way centrifugal brake helps control the spool and keep backlash down, while the Arrowhead line guide and anti-reverse handle the cast and retrieve. This right-hand retrieve model holds 12 lb line at 135 yards and weighs 7.2 ounces, a fit for anglers who throw baits all day.
