@@MrRourk I think so! With that said.. I am gonna put some work on it for my next few UL BFS trips gotta see how well it performs while fishing and also after some beating!
I like it, but don't think I'll be buying it before another Shimano Calcutta Conquest BFS probably get a HG because I have an XG. I might get the Shallow spool edition but may stick with another BFS got to think it over. The Metanium 70Dc is also tempting but it's not BFS...FishOn...jimi
@@1jimif while the Conquest is cool, this reel is lighter and smaller. Imma have to give it few fishing sessions before I can say which I would prefer over.. But it's not a bad time to get JDM stuff! Yen is down!
Thanks man! I’m looking forward to your guidance on when this reel will be”enter the US market” because I have no idea how to get it from China. Also, please keep us posted on the NON-DC version of this reel as I’m a little suspect of the longevity of a battery powered braking system. I wonder what brakes they use on non-dc version? Thanks!!!
@@davidcloyd1296 u got it! I will post an update whenever they say it's available. I dunno if they will have a non DC version this size.. But if they do, they will use the same module on the purple reel I feature on my YT channel. It's the same one on the Bates reels as well since they are collaborating on reel development
Yeah I did try it... But my Samsung was being stupid. Won't Bluetooth. So I said screw it lol.. Plus... Hard the hardest time getting onto that app cuz u either need to put a credit card info in or have Someone u know refer you onto the app. It took a while to get it on my phone... But do I really want a Chinese app that is mining my info? No thx
@@helotaxi it's one it my concerns as well. I'm clumsy... My Hawaiian friend would tell ya lolol... 3 trips with him I fell each and every single one hahahah
Directly from loongze USA. Link in the video description to their website. But it's not market ready yet. I was told soon since I have gotten it before public launch
Bro I just place an order from bait finesse empire was hoping you shot me a coupon code lol shit I take a sticker tho lol throw one in my order bro the green monster haha
hope you enjoy whatever you ordered. Unfortunately, I don't have any codes to bait finesse empire. Else I would give it out :) If you wrote a note in your order saying you are a fan, Amir usually throw in a sticker or two :)
Thank you for watching. First and foremost, you need to understand that this is a cast testing video. I am actually exploring the reel. It does not show you real fishing setting... When I can find the right time to actually create a fishing video of it, I will show u that it's a great reel
Very impressive. This reel might be a go-to reel. It can cast UL lures with ease. Loongze has a really nice braking system in their lineup.
@@pacman_17 loongze is known for brake design and development! With Bates as their partner, they spit out some amazing reels!
blinged out reel
U like?
This is a nice option to the Shimano and Daiwa usual.

@@rawrfishing yes still early in the review.
Dude that light lure casts a mile, that's crazy
@@Ardeact I was truly impressed by the reel performance. The spool is light and braking module is lit! Can't wait to put into some usage!

Can you do a video how to connect to the app I’ve just got one of these and I can’t even get on the app
@@ReelFishGods this model does not need an app.. I did not get the one that utilize the app. So no can do :p
@@rawrfishing ahhhhh I see!!! I wish mine didn’t need the app 😂😂🤣🤣 thanks anyway!

Where does one inquire such baitcaster
Link in the video description below! :)
Jimmy, great vid review! I'm looking to getting one to go with my 101 Airlite BFS.
Just wondering, are you going to Icast 2024 this month?
It's a fun reel. Yes I will be there wed and Thursday. Then I south Florida to fish Fri and sat before flying back
I'd like to increase the line capacity on the Gekkabijin. What aftermarket spool do you recommend? Thanks.
check out the roro spool.
Not a fan of the levelwind sticking out in front of the nose piece of the reel that's supposed to be there to protect it.
@@helotaxi it's one it my concerns as well. I'm clumsy... My Hawaiian friend would tell ya lolol... 3 trips with him I fell each and every single one hahahah
I'm looking for my first bfs reel. Whats the best one currently in your opinion?
Ark Gravity bfs reel! Enjoy

@@rawrfishing yeah didn’t right any notes all good tho saw your sticker and I was like ok he prob works here too lol
BFE is one of the retailers that I partner with. I basically get deals to make content. kills a flock of birds with one stone :P
Very cool. Just too pricey
@@adwhite804 price not even available yet for the US, but could be cheaper than JDM round BFS reel!
@@rawrfishing How much is it in the US? I got one in China for 999 CNY (~135 USD).
I put playback speed to .75 to make you sound normal...
@@GoldenTroutBFS u do what u need. I put all my videos in 1.5 to 2. So normal is subjective!
all dc reels make that noise
At the moment, yes
Not the first*
Nope sir! But thx for watching
Thank you for video.Not impress at all,cast too close,a bunch of overcast with bird nest.
