Can not confirm your statement on the old alphas air having problems casting heavier BFS lures. I'm using braid and the reel never failed casting 3-5g softbaits 25-30m or 5-7g minnows 20-25m. It cast as far as my buddies curado BFS with similar lures. There is no difference in distance.
Still hoping to see a refresh of the regular Alphas SVTW, maybe a new Curado 70, or bring the Scorpion 300MD over as a Tranx/Curado 300 (hopefully with lower gear ratios).
I think they should just ditch the mag hub rotor for bfs because that thing weighs heavy. Typical rotor weighs 1.5 grams. How are they going to over come that when most reels now days hitting mid 3 grams spool only and things like kkr hitting 2.5 grams. They just need to ditch rotor and develop a whole new brake system that is bfs specific to compete.
Placement of the old brake dial was the nail in the coffin for me personally and sold my alphas air within a week. Due to the placement of it and being uncovered, i kept catching it and changing the brake settings on the cast.
That’s wild. That’s my favorite placement. I’ve got a pile of Zillions and they all have the adjustor there. It doesn’t even make contact with my finger. Different hands I guess
@@tobywonkinoby8916 I Got a megabass oneten lure with the first Daiwa reel i ordered. I have a delivery for the for an ABU Garcia REVO so let’s se if I get another.
@@raychoi4994 ¥30k-40k more or what? This reel is already way over ¥40k and I think around ¥45k. Do you need to spend ¥75k-85k to get a made in Japan one? No thanks.

Pretty neat that KTF makes the spool. Their Neo spools for Daiwa 34mm reels are supposedly as good as the legendary old ZPI 001 M and PG spools

When is the video coming out of it in action?
please make a video compare alphas BF 25 & SS air 23
Does the new Daiwa Alpha have a spool clicking drag ? i must admit on first looks i am not that impressed i think i will stick with my Aldebaran's.

@@tobywonkinoby8916 Yeh, they did that for my every purchase, nice touch.
@@tobywonkinoby8916I think once you’re a repeat customer, there’s always a free lure. I always sale mines & makes my reel purchase even more cheaper

BFS sounds much better than bf.

You need at 30000 to 40000 yens for a made in Japan reel.
