- Hey guys!
In this video Ill be showing you how to perform the worm gear bearing upgrade on your 2022 Shimano Aldebaran BFS. If you’re interested in this upgrade you will need to purchase one 4mm x 7mm x 2.5mm bearing. I have provided non-affiliate links below to the Roro SiC BFS 742 bearing below. Thank you as always and cheers!

Just found your channel a few days ago. I have a feeling this channel will be one of the better go to channel for bfs. Keep up the great work.
Steve… you rock. Thank you so much for the vote of confidence and I hope to continue to deliver good value and insight! Cheers my friend!
IMO you are a top shelf videographer, teacher and technician. When you were in the military was your job description related to one of those?
Hey Jay! I was actually never in the military. At one point in my life I was very close to joining but it just didn’t pan out. Long story haha… anyhow, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a wonderful compliment… thank you for that and I hope to be able to continue to helps folks out. Cheers Jay!
I'm not interested in changing spool, but I change worm gear bearing during the first maintenance, thank you for video.
Hey there! What did you think of the upgrade? Imho it really improved the smoothness of the handle rotation and is worth the effort of tearing down the reel. I wish Shimano had allowed for one extra bearing in the opposite side of the worm shaft and I’m not too sure how I feel about the worm shaft being made of plastic. In any case thank you for sharing your experience and cheers!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL haven't been fishing yet with Aldebaran, we have -20C , even the rivers are frozen ;)
@@sepaonualvar -20c is definitely cold!!! Stay warm my friend!
Another informative video, Peter! Would you consider doing an upgrade video of a MingYang CL25? That would be a really cool one to see given there are hardly any videos of it and it’s a very cheap “project” reel. Cheers!
Hey there! Thank you! Hm I’m not sure about the CL25 as it’s not specifically made for BFS but I do have a W300 I need to make a video for. I have plans on upgrading that reel but it seems the parts that I’m looking for are currently out of stock =\. Do you know if they make upgrade parts for the CL25? Cheers!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL, no I don’t think they make specific upgrade parts for the CL25 hence why I suggested it because it will likely have to be a hybrid/mishmash of multiple different parts from other reels to try to make it work hahaha a true project reel if you will 😅
Hmmm I’ll take a look but if there’s not a bfs specific spool it might be hard to make it into a bfs reel haha. I do recall looking at the reel once but it seems to be much smaller than the w300 which seems to be the Mingyang reel of choice for bfs applications. I’ll take a look again but not sure if I can promise anything! I appreciate the suggestion though!
those bearing have been sold out for soo long..... Great Vid btw!
Hey 5280! Ah that’s unfortunate… which bearings are you referring to ooc? Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL The 4x7x2.5, But I used to mess with RC cars and know of a place that sells Ceramic ball bearings and they had that size for 9$
Watching sir from Philippines infomative video
Much appreciated and welcome! Hope you are able to get good value and knowledge from my video. Cheers!
Good job on the video very informative
Appreciate it TJ! Didn’t do much maintenance in the video but then if I had I think it’d be even longer 😆. Not sure how long people can stand to listen to me talking about reel parts haha. Cheers buddy!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL well if they are smart and willing to learn it would be wise for them to sit there and listen for as long as you can talk lol
Hahaha I’ll leave that up to them to decide 😆 but I appreciate your vote of confidence!!! Also, people should check out your videos too! Some amazingly informative videos on your channel as well buddy! 🙌🙌🙌
What? The handle side plate is made out of plastic/ci4? I always thought it was magnesium. Soon, they'll be making the frame out of ci4, and assure us that its better than metal...
Haha I don’t think you have too much to worry about! I’m pretty sure there will always be a place for metal frame reels. That being said, I am no Shimano engineer but I don’t believe the sideplate absolutely needs to be made out of magnesium. Many other mag frame reels actually use the same strategy to save more weight and actually carbon frames aren’t bad at all. They’re not nearly as rigid as metal frames ofc but they’re pretty close, don’t get cold, and are much cheaper than magnesium. Would be cool to see a budget Aldebaran made of ci4 but that’s just my opinion. Anywho, thanks for sharing your opinion and cheers!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL Less than 10 years ago, a plastic worm shaft wouldn't be something people could even imagine, and here we're, shimano uses it in almost every of their reels. You really don't know. Not to mention that all reels with plastic handle side plate feel more hollow when under load, so that's another negative i am not to much of a fan off of.
To be honest, I agree with you 100% on the plastic worm shaft. I am not the biggest fan of that as well as the shaft housing being plastic. Just doesn’t scream longevity to me… I get what they’re trying to do but it would be nice if there were options or upgrades for metal pieces. As far as these BFS reels are concerned though I haven’t had any issues with flexing under load but I do agree that the carbon frames feel hollow. All the more reason to collect and upgrade(when possible) older reels I suppose…
Any experience with hedgehog studios bearings. Is there any difference if I went with a roro bearing vs hedgehog? Is one more premium than the other?
Hey Ronald! Unfortunately I have no direct experience with hedgehog bearings. From what I’ve been told they are great bearings and tend to have better tolerances than roros but some of the roros have that o-ring on the outer housing that absorbs a lot of the vibration and sound from their SiC ceramic bearings. I think you can’t really go wrong with either of the companies but my gut tells me that the hedgehogs might be ever so slightly more premium. Hope that helps!!!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL sounds good and thanks for that info. I tend to have a problem where if I see something is more expensive I automatically think it’s better lol. Definitely gonna be using this video as a step by step guide. Love the channel bro, super helpful for people who are deep in the bfs rabbit hole.
@@teamlary Ronald my pleasure! Sorry I couldn’t give you any first hand knowledge of the hedgehog bearings but they do come highly recommended by one of my friends who does a lot of work on reels. So… either way you can’t really go wrong. Thank you as well for the kind words and it means a lot to know that you find the videos useful. If you ever have more questions just lmk! Cheers my friend!
I have seen 2022 Aldebaran BFS reels for sale but they don't have that awesome looking finish you have, is that an aftermarket skin or something? Or a special version? Thanks much.
Hey Abel! Yea it’s a vinyl skin that I found on Amazon.co.jp. I got the skin because I was finding that the paint finish was getting small scratches quite easily not a good thing for a magnesium frame reel. Here is a link to the item:
amzn.asia/d/3LL6R3M
If that link does work go visit Amazon.co.jp and search for this title “CUSTOM SEAT.JP ARMOR YOROI 22 ALDEBARAN BFS CUSTOM DECAL SCRATCH PROOF SCRATCH PROTECTION BAITREL CUSTOM”. The storefront name is “customseat.jp”. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
Thank you much, in addition to the protection it truly does have some style my friend!!@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL
Does the 2017 model use the same size bearing? If so, what is the dimension of the bearing?
Hey Lee! Unfortunately, I am not certain of the 2016/17 aldebaran’s bearing size. Actually, which bearing were you referring to? It’s possible that they use the same size bearing for the worm shaft but it is unlikely that they use the same spool bearing sizes as the 22 has the silent tube bearings which are very unusual sizes. Sorry that doesn’t help much… let me know which bearings you were referring to and cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL Worm gear/shaft you show us how to update/upgrade here
@@leepao6302 hey Lee! Ok so I spoke with @themultispeciesangler and he’s performed this modification. He says it is the same size and the handle knob bearings so I am guessing that it will be a 742 sized bearing. I am not sure if he has a video on his channel but he may have one showing how to do this? Sorry I can’t be of more help with this but I hope at least this does help a little. Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL i just want to know the dimension, i know how to install it, i just wasn't sure about the size of the bearing that's all, thanks for going through trouble to help a stranger, but just subscribe is the least i can do
@@leepao6302 hey Lee! I appreciate it! If I am not mistaken I think the size will be a 4x7x2.5mm bearing. The other size might be a 4x7x2mm but that’s fairly uncommon. The 4x7x2.5mm size is used more in Shimano and daiwa for the handle knobs and that should be the size that the worm shaft gear bearing is. Hope that helps and cheers!
Great video! But you should do it without music. That music is unbearable.
Hey Steve! Thanks so much for the compliment! As for the music, you’re actually the first person to say anything about it… For “free” music I think it’s not so bad but until the channel gets a bit more steam and can start to fund itself I won’t be looking to any paid music sites. I think since this video I have lowered the volume a bit on the background music but I think the overall “vibe”(?) fits with the feel I’d like the channel to have. Kind of a laid back and relaxed approach to reviews and teardowns I suppose. That being said, I do appreciate your feedback and will consider changing things up in the future! Cheers my friend!
За эти деньги я лучше возьму несколько китайцев, которые будут удобнее...
Hey there! Yea there’s nothing wrong with that. I have reviewed quite a few CDM reels and I think they are definitely worth the money. That being said, there’s also nothing wrong with going with a higher end reel as well. Cheers!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL У меня есть 20Alphas AIR с облегчённой шпулей... Мне интересны для заброса веса от 0.4 до 0.8 грамма. Обычная китайская катушка FISHBAND PW100 у меня без проблем работает с весами от 0.8 грамма...
@@ДенисГудок yea CDM reels have gotten very good lately and quite capable of casting very lightweight lures. I have no experience with daiwa BFS reels but it seems people who own and use them really enjoy them. Thank you for sharing and cheers!
Great vid. Will be making some upgrades to mine asap. Noticed the resistance in winding however I thought this was how it was supposed to be. Pretty cheap of shimano to not use a bearing and replace it with a bushing. +1 sub and I followed on insta 👍👍👍
Hey there much appreciated! Yea the only reasons I could think of that they didn’t include a bearing is for weight savings and also corrosion resistance. Those considerations are a bit on the negligible side though imho… anyhow I’m glad you got good value out of the video and cheers!
Yeah it could well be. For the price of the reel you would have thought it would be premium parts throughout. Cheers for the reply!
@@makeorwellfictionagain3553 I agree with you on that 1000%. They dropped the ball on that part sadly… That being said, the reel is buttery smooth out of the box but it’s that much more with the bearing installed. Still have no clue why they went with a bushing 🤦♂️ haha. Cheers buddy!
