13 Fishing Philosophy

Fishing is a universal sport, connecting fisherman around the world. It’s a universal language, once a way we unite with our fellow anglers. Fishing is our passion; it is a part of our culture passed down from generation to generation. It connects our families with tall tales, it brings us around the dining room table.

It’s time we reestablish the sport as one where anglers can fully appreciate it. Let’s embrace socialization and cooperation between fishermen of all skill levels. It’s time to take fishing up a notch…or thirteen.

Fishing for those who truly appreciate this sport, offers great potential for expanding our cultural horizons. Let’s take it there. Let’s put fishing on the map as one of the world’s most enjoyable and indulgent pastimes. Let’s finally give fishing the center stage as an outdoor sport through the power of our fishing community.

User questions & answers

Question:	What’s the line capacity for 10 pound test
Answer:	13 Fishing doesn't publish 10lb line capacity specifically, but it is rated for 80yds / 8lb, 100yds / 6lb, so I would estimate it would be in the ballpark of 60yds of 10lb line.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the summer 3000 work with the shakespeare ugly stick gx2? or the ugly stick elite
Answer:	Yes. I use the CastKing Summer 3000 with an Ugly Stick GX2.
Question:	I got the 3000. Would that be allright for my 7 ft med action rod
Answer:	The 3000, size wise is on par with most 2500 series reels(Shimano)! A 6ft to 7ft Rod would not be an issue for this reel. Just consider what rod would fit your fishing requirements.
Question:	Does this bring an extra spool
Answer:	This reel does not include and extra spool.
Question:	Does this reel work for saltwater
Answer:	I've use my 5000 in Saltwater. To be honest last year I even submerged it while surf fishing with it, freshwater rinse after each use and stored for the winter. I figured being a very inexpensive reel, I'll just beat on it. Serviced it 2 weeks ago for schoolie fishing, opened it up, 1 tiny tiny spec of rust, on the spool shaft besides. Still had grease in it, no salt, or sand. A quick wipe down, oiled and greased and it's back in service. So I'd say for the money it will certainly work salt applications, had no problem taking down some 20lbs blues.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the max line weight will it take
Answer:	I use suffix 832 ice braid 20 as well as 30 lb. test. Tipped with a 3 foot leader of 17# Pline fluorocarbon. You can always change the leader. Similar to fly fishing. Caught many and plenty of trout here in Colorado. I know some may argue it’s too much, I like knowing when I have a 10# fish I have plenty of line strength. You eventually have to go vertical to get your fish out of a hole.
Question:	Based on the weight of the line what is the yardage capacity it will hold
Answer:	Line Capacity (lb/yds): 8/80 6/100 4/125 3/175 2/350
Question:	How are these reels different from the black betty hard water model
Answer:	Spool components and drag system vary between the BlackBetty FreeFall, and the BlackBetty FreeFall Ghost. The Original FreeFall is the performance model with higher drop control.
Question:	i hold the rod with my left hand and reel with the right hand so what reel would i need thanks for the help
Answer:	You want right hand retreive

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this reel have anti-reverse on it? Also how is the drag

Question:	Can I get the alluminum spool separate
Answer:	I haven't seen just the spool separate. If that's important to you I'd go with the red version which is a bit more expensive but comes with that spool. Brian W.

User questions & answers

Question:	In which country was this made
Answer:	They are made in the good 'ol US of A !!!
Question:	How do you keep the line on even on the eagle claw inline ice fishing reel when the reel is under the rod
Answer:	I have 2 of these and must say they are great reels. I use my pinky to move the line back and forth when reeling in. Been doing it so long that its automatic and I don't even think about it. Very easy to get used to
Question:	Do you think you could cast with this reel? I am thinking of using it for small streams
Answer:	No I would not suggest trying to cast with this particular reel. I use it for ice fishing and it is an awesome ice reel but there isn't any type of braking system on this reel so you would have nothing but back lashes. The retrieve rate also isn't suited for casting this reel. I would suggest some type of under-spin reel.
Question:	Does left hand reel have the handle on the left? I know silly question just need to be sure
Answer:	Yes, I bought the ECILIRBL. I hold the rod in my right hand and reel with the left. The reel can be converted to either hand. I think there is a youtube video on the subject.
