Casting reel 13 FISHING Concept Z SLD

Concept Z SLD, a casting reel built for precision

A design conceived to push the boundaries

The Concept Z SLD is part of the Concept Z series, recognized for its innovative approach to materials and engineering. This casting reel was developed to offer a high level of control, smooth mechanics and a particularly rigid structure, in order to meet the expectations of anglers who seek performance, consistency and ease of use.

Immediate and intuitive cast control

One of the great strengths of the Concept Z SLD lies in its Slide Magnetic Cast Control system, positioned to allow quick thumb adjustments on the fly. This configuration is ideal for instantly fine-tuning the brake according to conditions encountered, particularly in headwinds, tailwinds or when changing fishing cadences.

The combination of the SLIDE magnetic brake with the Centrifugal Low-Friction system allows very fine adjustment of the reel's behavior. The result is an excellent level of control, both for long-distance power casts and for more precise techniques such as pitching or flipping.

Advanced mechanics in the service of smoothness

CZB technology for lasting reliability

The Concept Z SLD benefits from the brand's signature CZB technology, designed to limit the effects of corrosion and maintain smooth rotation over time. The Zero Corrosion bearings directly contribute to this smooth feel, while enhancing the reel's durability in demanding environments.

A rigid frame for better stability

The Cast Iron carbon frame and side plates deliver remarkable rigidity to the whole assembly. This architecture minimizes deformation under stress, improves mechanical alignment and helps maintain a clear sense of control during the fight as well as during lure animation.

The Hamai machined handle knob in Ti-Armor aluminum completes this high-end build by delivering precision, robustness and consistency to the retrieve.

A reel designed for technical and demanding fishing

Comfort, power and effectiveness in the field

The Concept Z SLD is not just technical — it has also been designed for everyday practicality. Its Arrowhead line guide, reinforced clutch, Beetle Wing quick-access side plate and integrated KeepR lure hook make it easy to use at the water's edge.

The Advanced Polymer drag system, rated at a maximum power of 10 kg, provides the reserve needed to effectively control powerful fish. The Alert Drag Clicker adds a welcome audible feedback during the fight, for even greater readability and control.

Available in right-hand and left-hand versions, the Concept Z SLD is aimed at anglers who want a premium casting reel capable of combining innovation, precise adjustment and long-term durability.
