Anyone tried curado bfs vs aldebaran bfs? Seems like the Curado is cheaper but I've always thought of Curado as a good reel. Wondering if the Aldebaran is any better or if Curado BFS is the way to go dollar for dollar.
I been fishing the Curado BFS in lakes and streams. It does very well fishing in streams for trout. A bearing upgrade will make it even better for casting trout lures and for accuracy.
I’ve had my Curado BFS for over a month, fished it @ 10 times, love, love, love it. I could never cast my spinning setup like this setup. I have it paired with the Zodias BFS rod, it it smokes the light stuff, and smooth as a baby’s ass. Can’t wait to take it to the river for trout.
@@mearziefishing2210 it’s the 7’2 ML. I think Shimano makes two models specifically for BFS the other is like 6’6. Line rating is 7-14 lbs, and lure rating is 5-15 grams, 3/16-1/2 oz. I’m throwing 8 lb. test. I don’t have many finesse hard baits but have been catching some with the Curve 55 squarebills from 6th sense.
buenas, una pregunta podria lazar señuelos de 15 a 18 gramos con un carrete de bfs? gracias. Sobretodo lo pregunto por el tema del peso del carrete que siempre es mejor manejar algo mas ligero.
In the Instruction Guide of my Curado BFS XG it says: "The spool is designed only for Fluoro & Braided line. Do not use Nylon line." No futher explanation. Any idea why I shouldn't? You are using Nylon mono, aren't you?
I just got the curado bfs and ordered a phenix feather light . I was happy when I saw your comment 😂 because I couldn’t find anything with this combo. When I saw this I was happy I ordered the rod to pair with the bfs curado because o was having a hard time deciding. Reason I wanted the phenix feather because I have my other setups paired with my baitcaster. Glad you like it. What pound test are you using?
Just took mine down to the Texas coast last weekend and it worked really well on under slot red fish about 14”. Can’t wait to get some keeper speckled trout and slot reds on it later this year.
Thanks for all the great content. Have you tried throwing the same size lure (with the same line and a comparable rod) from a comparable quality spinning reel? I'd love to know how bfs compares to spinning in these situations and if it falls down for the super light ned type baits? Thanks!
spinning gear casts some bfs lures less far than a baitcaster, if you tune it to the perfect 0 tolerance point the spool will move like its basicallu weightless. And allow the lure to fly free because of the spool being horizontal. (without any line catching on itself because of the position) Spinning however can get caught on its tiny ridges of line at a certain point in the cast, thus slowing it down and not getting as much distance. Yes ive tested it, vanford vs aldebaran 2016 was an interesting match
Enjoyed the video. What line type and size would you recommend. I plan to use this reel with an Old 18 Suppressor to fish Ned baits in lakes and smallmouth in a favorite creek. Thanks
Since you were using the same rod and line for all casts, couldn't you have counted the handle turns on the retrieve? Wouldn't you get a pretty accurate idea of the RELATIVE distances attained with the different lures? Still not an accurate measurement of the absolute distance, but still interesting...
Great pic of the carp ! I really liked this new format you used to test the Curado BFS, and the carp proves it is a really capable BFS Reel. Great Test !
Another excellent review. Of all the Shimano BFS reels where does this one have its niche. For me I love using the SLX BFS and Scorpion BFS in the Saltwater as I have confidence in the drag system and because I feel the spools are a little more robust. What do you think is the difference between them all?
Been watching your videos for years, I knew you used Crappie Maxx for testing, but what do you prefer for fishing? I mean from UL to H, would love to see a video about YOUR line preferences per technique. I use 8lb Sufix 832 on my BFS, but have considered 4-5lb Sunline Sniper...
i'd like to see more daiwa alphas air tw videos , it is the most popular bfs reel among the new reels launched since 2020.Maybe a casting battle between shimano bad boys conquest and aldebaran bfs also abu bf8 ?
Hi, Did you have to degrease the bearings - using acetone or isopropyl alcohol - before the reel would perform at its best? I ask because others found they had to do this as the Shimano grease applied in the factory was too thick.
Just the best on tackle adviser!! Sir I’m in need of your help I need a reel comfortable to use jerkbait I’m between 3 options new alfalfas dc new zillion or new curado mgl151? Each one do you think is better palm ✋ for jerkbait ?
If u can afford it I'd go with a metanium mgl. Or a Budget friendly a slx. Haven't seen the new mgl curado in person but being its light and sits low I'd say its be a good choice too
hi great videos you make what is the max weight you can throw with the bfs reel im searching for a reel for my poison adrena most of i throw 5 to 15gram what do you recommend ? curado dc 151HG , curado bfs like the drag sound a lot or also looking for the daiwa tatula 103 thx alot en keep making videos
I noticed that in all of your videos you have to give a pretty wide estimate on how far you are casting. The drone was cool. Why not bring 2 rods. The rod and reel that is being reviewed and the other would be a rod and reel sturdy enough to cast a plastic ball or something enough to get out there and use a laser range finder and then use that distance to guestimate how far you are casting the ball. Just a thought.
Curado bfs is amazing but i think you overestimate your casts. 100 ft + comes down to around 40-45 full cranks(82cm per crank) to retrieve the bait. Did not look like that at all.
Sorry Reel Test. I’ve unsubscribed to you. I appreciate your videos and I can tell that you have a lot of questions, but you still have to consider the public, who placed you in the position you are. Which is a respected pundit . But you never answer any questions I ask you. So I felt left not wanted. Good luck with everything you do.
Just want to say I love the angle that you used for this casting video. It helps the viewer so much more to see the actual distance then a chest cam
I got mines already and all I have to say it is just beautiful 😍
Caught so many bass on it on top water. Just amazing
Anyone tried curado bfs vs aldebaran bfs? Seems like the Curado is cheaper but I've always thought of Curado as a good reel. Wondering if the Aldebaran is any better or if Curado BFS is the way to go dollar for dollar.
The Aldebaran is better in every way. But the Curado BFS is still a great BFS reel, especially for bass fishing
I been fishing the Curado BFS in lakes and streams. It does very well fishing in streams for trout. A bearing upgrade will make it even better for casting trout lures and for accuracy.
What kind of brarings? Microball?
@@pjoter1921 I have Roro Micro Bearings in mine. Size 733
@@HobieWanKenobi Thanx! And have a good fishing this test 💪👍
so the size for Curado BFS bearing is 3x7x3?
Will the bearing upgrade help casts 1/16oz lures further ?

What's the specs on the zodius bfs rod mate,

Why do u use 0.20 mm line with 1,8 kg breaking? You can cast way further with thin braid like 0.06 braid

Would this feel be suitable for throwing 1/4 - 3/8 oz jigs and weightless worms?
Great drone footage.
Btw, what brand of bearing oil do you get for your BFS reels?
I have a vial of Hedghog Studios Alchemy Oil

I own one. And it's amazing. 1/8 size on a Phenix Feather Light fast action. The combo is so good

RX Angler does the same fishing as you do and he uses BFS alot
Great video, awesome angle for the casting part. Do you think this curado bfs will hold up well in salt water?

REEL TEST is the Diawa Steez CT SV TW 70 a good BFS reel?
Thank for the content btw new angles are really good with the drone
I dont have one but Ive seen the Japanese test it and it can go down to 3 grams pretty easy.
Enjoyed the video. What line type and size would you recommend. I plan to use this reel with an Old 18 Suppressor to fish Ned baits in lakes and smallmouth in a favorite creek. Thanks
My personal preference for bass is 6-8lb straight flouro. 2-6lb straight flouro for trout.

Gritings from Poland 😉 👍🤙👊🎣
Drone is interesting but you cant tell real distances or how it compares to other reels, so what did we learn?
i wish Majorcraft still sold the BFS rods on their site. The Curado BFS looks really nice on the Speedstyle!
I ended up cancelling my preorder, bought it from aliexpress and got it in less than 10 days.
how about spinning reel does it has the same range? with the same lure weight?
Your reel is it made in Japan or America shimano bfs
Hi. How good this speed rod? Is it any close to ace hawk ?

I really wish i could see the casting battle between Alphas Air TW vs Aldebaran BFS XG.
Should try Shimano SLX DC XT as a BFS reel not marketed as one but can cast 2g havent tried any lower
Hi, Did you have to degrease the bearings - using acetone or isopropyl alcohol - before the reel would perform at its best? I ask because others found they had to do this as the Shimano grease applied in the factory was too thick.
How does the Calcutta conquest bfs handle 1/32 to 1/8th compared to the curado bfs?
I’m debating either the curado or the slx bfs?
Great vid! 👍 When do you plan release the casting vid on the piscifun alloy m reel? 🙂👍
Just the best on tackle adviser!! Sir I’m in need of your help I need a reel comfortable to use jerkbait I’m between 3 options new alfalfas dc new zillion or new curado mgl151? Each one do you think is better palm ✋ for jerkbait ?

I would pick the MGL 150 because it will out cast the Daiwas
Where was this shot?
Very impressive! I'd love to know how it stacks uo to the aldebaran and diawa bfs reels. Thanks for the video.
I mean its a budget BFS reel. Im sure the Aldebaran will outcast it, probably the Alphas too
Curado BFS vs. Scorpion BFS, which is better?
they are 95% the same reel.
hi great videos you make what is the max weight you can throw with the bfs reel im searching for a reel for my poison adrena most of i throw 5 to 15gram what do you recommend ? curado dc 151HG , curado bfs like the drag sound a lot or also looking for the daiwa tatula 103 thx alot en keep making videos
metanium mgl
If you are using anything higher than 8lb line I would choose the Slx MGL or Curado 70 MGL

I’m looking to pick this one up next week
How's the lingl bfs reel?
I gotta get this one nice video
What is bfs?
What’s the background music? I like it!
Nice videos always! I just bought a Zillion sv tw, would you take it as a BFS reel?
@@andersriksson100 I saw your video about it, that's why I bought it. LOL, Would you take a China spool when it's available and make a video?
Maybe down to 1/8th but there are a ton of bfs spool options for it already
Roro makes a couple BFS spools for the Zillion SV TW.
Now waiting tell next week to get mine
very nice video advice on bfs better zephyr .... shimano curado bfs .... abu garcia roxani bf8 thanks
I’m waiting for mine lol
Pls kindly test Penn Squall low profile reel.....
Nice camera angle
👍

Curado bfs is amazing but i think you overestimate your casts. 100 ft + comes down to around 40-45 full cranks(82cm per crank) to retrieve the bait. Did not look like that at all.
He said 100 foot not yards when he threw the plastic lure if that is what your talking about
@@pampeesantiago77 my bad i ment to say ft. That is about 45 cranks.
54f yammer,48f minnow, 39f lc bevy
60-65ft
Look like about 25 yards
