Great review!! In Sweden we only use braid so the line memory is not an issue. Thanks! Will buy this reel.

Thanks a million for this in depth review and for the complete honest truth. It really helps to weigh all the pros n cons before laying down the Franklins.

That is a nice reel but it’s pretty expensive here in Australia. Almost $300.

Genuinely an amazing video. Very informative, and I'm glad you knew what you were talking about!

I've had this reel for about a month now and I love it however I kind of feel a grinding as I retrieve but can't tell for sure. I also don't like the placement of the switch to open the side, I keep touching it as I cast and opening it accidently.
But like you said I do love it but wondering if it is really worth what I paid for it.
Glad I found your review, I subscribed and I'm in Oklahoma as well. Thanks man

Why not use braid backing? You never have to worry about the memory and you never have to replace the whole spool.

Just started following you today. Love your review videos and content

[derekjuip]

The cork knobs get sticky if you leave the reel in the heat of your car in FL. Black flat paint is flaking off. I cast the arrow head line guide through my rod eye yesterday, running a perfect FG knot/ wind on leader through it. Hook keeper is in the perfect spot to snag your braid while in use. Clutch relief click may just be so audible that my subsurface targets get spooked 🤦🏼‍♀️

Size is comfy, settings are versatile, drag is strong and consistent. Stays dialed in and fine tune settings seldomly require adjustments. Price was reasonable.

I'll determine my overall satisfaction after navigating their warranty/ repair process this week.

Have one and you are correct about the spool and what it does to the line. To be clear, I like the reel.

[adammitchell]

What if I use a braid to leader set-up? I don't think braid will have that kind of memory. I just ordered this reel, I been catchin muskies and need bigger reel, I hope it delivers.

[RoadDogAdventures]

I like that you mentioned the audible click. A lot of guys fail to do so

[steezyboiiii]

Do you think I could throw a top water/ frog if I get the 8:1 gear ratio

Great video good to see an honest review most people who like something only talk about the positives and the ones who don't like something only talk about every negative.

Don't own a concept reel and not sure if I ever will. On the spool I have one that is similar size and I put 15lb braid backing on it. Even had to respool this past weekend and was nice to not have to pull 250 yards of line. Keep up the awesome work. 👍👍

[legitoutdoors]

The spool diameter thing doesn’t really bother me. After having fished with my Lews BB1 and having put line on it several times I realized that even as a cheap man having good line is the cheapest way to make sure you don’t lose fish. That’s just my opinion but either way. Great review! I appreciate the honesty.

[charlesm.]

Couldn’t you fill up the spool with braid to make it larger that switch to floro or mono? I’m thinking of buying this reel.

[willtrax]

I have had both and sold my Concept A2 for a Loss and bought another SLX, it’s just a better smoother Reel and I have an Inception SZ that’s an amazing Reel and I actually prefer over the SLX. It’s where you check your drag it’s so smooth reeling to make sure it’s tight lol it’s one of those type of Reels.

[bobnewman]

Good review. It would be helpful if you includeed some footage of fishing what you're reviewing.

[Thepondguy]

Nice review man. I use nothing but braid so don't have to worry about the line.
