13 Fishing Origin R1 Baitcast Reel 6.6:1 RH

The 13 Fishing Origin R1 is a 6.6:1 baitcast reel built for anglers who want to get into baitcasting without spending a lot. At $34.99 it is one of the most accessible entry points in the category, and it doesn't cut corners where it counts. Eighteen pounds of max drag, a magnet control brake system, and instant stop anti-reverse give you a reel that handles real fishing situations, not just calm-water practice casts.

What It Does on the Water

The 6.6:1 gear ratio is a good all-around speed for crankbaits, jigs, Texas rigs, and most other presentations where you want control over your retrieve speed without burning line back too fast. The MCS magnet control brake system is easier to tune than a centrifugal system for most beginners — turn the dial, adjust the cast. Eighteen pounds of max drag is more than enough for bass and most freshwater species. Instant stop anti-reverse keeps the handle from backwinding on the hookset. Five total ball bearings keep things running smoothly for the price point.

Right-hand retrieve. Fastback frame design keeps the profile low and comfortable in the hand.
