Great review. Purchased a Curado (as an upgrade from a SF) and I am more than impressed with it. I mainly fish canals and this reel does everything I ask of it. Keep the reviews coming. Ernie
whats good all around BFS rod for my needs.. will be throwing 7 to 14 grams and mostly for bass and bottom fishing ..looking for 1 solid piece rod and want it cast far as ill be using it in open bay ocean between 5 to 15 up to 40+ feet deep waters
The updated zephyr bfs reel is a good cheap option, even has a drag clicker which I love and my other is a curado bfs which even better but not worth 2x the money of the zephyr (modded with ceramic bearings) imo
Hey dude it depends on the waters you are fishing . I’d definitely suggest a solid tip stick though as they load really well on small lures . I generally use a 0.5-8g Tsurinoya Dexterity, Kuying also have the Teton 0.5-3g which is a cool stick in itself
@@BFSJEDI could you please recommend me a stream rod Jason @ 100£. I was thinking about Tsu trout master or MC trapara native. Or do you have some for sale?
@@BFSJEDI I have the elf trout which is a brilliant rod for open waters. Can cast down to 1g with stock aldebaran. But need something shorter for tight streams. I think I’ll go for that trout master.
Why all your vlog too easy to understand? And fast response too... I LIKE IT I hope u get many subs and stay healthy in this pandemic. daiwa and shimano right? Cries in zephyr hahaha.
@@BFSJEDI thanks sir. Iam ur new subs from overseas. Now time to watch all ur vlog. Pardon me if i ask too much about bfs, especially rapala trailblazer mini ops vs ceratina.
Good choices but id suggest waiting for roro spool designed for slx and curado bfs this way you can cover all with one reel and 2 spool. Or you can get tatula sv 103 plus chameleon diy t32 spool and cover from 1-30 gr much more versatile.
It’s not always the spool it has a lot to do with the breaking system and magnets used ,( especially in shimano ). I’ve had the chameleon spool in a alphas and found it lacking in breaking power as the springs in the floating inductor are way to weak. However Roro are great spools so let’s see….. I don’t however believe the Tatula or Curado with upgraded spools will perform as well as the Alphas sub 2g, especially for flick casting and pitching at those weights. It’s hard to beat a KTF built spool that comes std in the alphas.
@@BFSJEDI true that sub 2gr stock alphas air tw reallly shines.i had the chameleon spool modified for alphas air tw but not had a chance to test and compare with original spool.I ve tested alphas air for power finesse 6-10gr , casts amazing and can spool braid up to 90 meter I think quite enough for micro shore jigging .I’m planning to stay in 1-5 gr zone though I will buy slx bfs xg for power finesse as you suggested ( we don’t have curado bfs unfortunately)
@@InfinityFishing dude try get it off Ali express. There is a Avail microcast spool that fits the scorpion bfs ,( exact same platform as the Curado ). If the spools are the same diameter as the SLX it may fit. I have a spare spring from a alphas spool I will put into the chameleon and give it a test . The other option is to glue the inducter in the closed position and have a static inducter . Some swear by this . Let me know how you get on with the chameleon. I’m subscribing to your channel now 👌
For me it depends . The Alphas is unbeatable sub 2g in tight spots , the cards stay low and accurate and don’t balloon. The Curado however sees more time on bigger bodies of water than any of my other bfs reels . I simply use each for different scenarios

Great channel , Im new to bfs fishing so channels like yours save people like me loads of money purchasing the wrong rods reels etc many thanks.
Welcome to the poison ☠️! I’m glad you are getting something of use from my vids man . Thanks for the kind words and tight lines 🦾🦾😎
very professional, wish some day you can review our new finesse products
Thank you . . Feel free to contact me if there is anything you want me to use and review 😎

Thanks man . I’m glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for the support 🦾🦾

given the fact that you have the calcutta bfs too, how do you compare it the daiwa air and the curado bfs?
Well the alphas air dominates sub 3g , the calcutta definitely feels the most refined and solid of the three and the curado is a absolute work hoarse
Good information, I fancy a Curado bfs from Aliexpress, just don’t want to get scammed, is it pretty safe to order from them ?
Hi Kevin . I’ve not received any knock offs from them ,( I’ve had 5 reels off Ali ). A few other folk I know have ordered and not had any issues.😎
@@BFSJEDI Brilliant, thanks for the response, I’m going in on one. All the best . Kev 👍👍👌
Lowest I’ve thrown on the Curado BFS is 1.3g! Not a bad reel for pitching and flicking in streams
The updated zephyr bfs reel is a good cheap option, even has a drag clicker which I love and my other is a curado bfs which even better but not worth 2x the money of the zephyr (modded with ceramic bearings) imo
Good to hear . I have no experience with the Zephyr unfortunately so I can’t really compare it but I’ve only heard good things about it
Whats the rod you would recommend for throwing a 1gram +?
Hey dude it depends on the waters you are fishing . I’d definitely suggest a solid tip stick though as they load really well on small lures . I generally use a 0.5-8g Tsurinoya Dexterity, Kuying also have the Teton 0.5-3g which is a cool stick in itself
@@BFSJEDI thank you i have recently checked up on those and they seem like the way to go too. Thank you👍🙏
@@BillaBong1 anytime man 😎
Have you tried the new Aldebaran mate?
I haven’t dude. I hear it’s great though
@@BFSJEDI could you please recommend me a stream rod Jason @ 100£. I was thinking about Tsu trout master or MC trapara native. Or do you have some for sale?
@@OVSpr Hey dude , I had the shorter version of the Tsurinoya Trout Master and absolutely loved it .
@@BFSJEDI I have the elf trout which is a brilliant rod for open waters. Can cast down to 1g with stock aldebaran. But need something shorter for tight streams. I think I’ll go for that trout master.

Thank you 🤘🤘
The Zephyr is a good reel dude! Plastic frogs will be a little more difficult to cat than 2g jigs as they have more wind resistance 🦾😎

Love me curado bfs had the alphas before and prefer the curado cast 2-3g comfortably
May I ask why? I also love the curado btw
For me it depends . The Alphas is unbeatable sub 2g in tight spots , the cards stay low and accurate and don’t balloon. The Curado however sees more time on bigger bodies of water than any of my other bfs reels . I simply use each for different scenarios
Casts * not cards 🤦♂️
@@gobybryant1001 that fact the the alphas doesn’t come with a clicking drag was a huge negative for me, and also the curado feel much better built.
