Ill never underestimate Shimano again lol
whay...?
Love mine. Very hard to put down!
can you make a stock battle ( trout magnet ) among alphas air tw , aldebaran bfs , calcutta conquest bfs and revo ltx 8? all stock no wind same rod and perhaps with braid this time? This would be the final legendary battle imo
Damn! You and Hobie-Wan Kenobi’s channel inspired me to get a Shimano Aldebaran BFS! Have been having a BLAST with it paired with an ultra-light and a light St. Croix (spinning) rod. Best success is my fishing smallmouth streams where in one 5-hour outing I landed 86 smallmouth and on another 5-hour outing I landed 96 smallmouth Bass! I am not a true BFS guy as my go-to lures are a things like a 1/4 oz. Panther Martin Fly Spinner (6 Grams) or a Z-Man tube with a 1/10 oz. or 1/6 oz. Z-Man EZ Keeper Hook and 4# Berkley Nano-Fil w/ 6# flouralcarbon leader.
I fish a lot and seem to always choose this darn Shimano Aldebaran BFS. I fish via a bassboat with at least five rods rigged up. If the weeds will let me fish, I will often grab that darn reel. All my reels are Shimano. This and my Shimano Metanium DC are my favorites.
Be well and keep up the Excellent videos.
What line and how much capacity do you get on the aldebaran bfs?
@@jamesh7469 I load about 100’ of White 4# Berkley Nano-fil and then 6’-12’ of 6# flouralcarbon on the BFS spool. I use the FG knot (with 25 twists) for the connection. That way I can make a 110yd. spool go a long way. My casts are probably 80’. While I am more accurate with spinning gear and I have found that “skipping” a lure oftentimes “excites” fish to bite, I get more casts per hour with a baitcaster. The act of catching the line with your index finger, opening the bail, casting and then manually closing the bail is slower than with a baitcaster.
Hope this answers your question.
Be well.
dang! Ill never catch that many smallmouth in my life! lol
@@THEREELTEST Ha, ha. YOU are the Boss. Try In-line Spinners (Panther Martins, Joe’s Flies Elite Series (1/4 oz)) and cover water (horizontal and vertically) fast. Fish larger streams and find the holes and slots (deeper narrow channels) that are in stream runs. Holes hold the most fish. Big rocks in the holes hold the largest fish. Fish the rocks with slower presentations like you are excellent with. My go-to lures are Ned Rigs, Tubes and 3” Fat Senkos (Texas Rigged), often with a 3/32 nail weight in the rear section for greater depth. Senkos, Texas Rigged, are outstanding in areas where you are getting hung up.
Mule Jigs would be PERFECT in the slower, rocky waters of streams.
Only other thought/reminder, which I do not always do:
Ned Rigs are best fished slow with the jig being dragged, not lifted much per Ned Kehde (Ned Rig namesake).
Lastly, best advice for anyone: Use White Line and be a Line Watcher. Close to 30% of my fish caught are because I see the line “twitch” or “move”. Fish don’t have hands. They feel with their mouth. If the line moves, they are “feeling” the lure. Set Da Hook!
Be well and keep up the outstanding, positive vibe videos. You Sir, are a STAR!
I started with one aldebaran, then bought a alphas air tw, ended up with 2 aldebarans and no alphas air tw lol.
what happened to the Alphas?
@@THEREELTEST I traded to a friend for a band new aldebaran lol
I currently have the Zephyr rod with my Daiwa Airstream custom with custom spool. I'm having trouble casting past 35 feet consistently. Do you believe i should upgrade to the rod that you currently have in this video? Thanks :) Awesome videos.
Awesome video 👍🏼
Nice content !!!! Keep it Up!!
You gotta run the trout magnet test on the Calcutta Conquest BFS as well now man ;]
If he can get his hands on such as rare reel lol
Oh wait it’s the DC version that’s the rare one huh
I got a light spool for my Scorpion DC and throw 1/16oz lures from time to time. It doesn’t do very well with 1/32’s but the 1/16’s do better than you would think. Great video as always. Hook a 2-3lb fish and you would have your hands full lol. Another guy I watch spooled up one of his BFS rigs with 200 denier fly tying thread. It’s tougher than you would think and he caught fish!
Where can you buy a light spool for the Scorpio DS?
Id like to know that too lol
Well now I feel no need to buy an alternative to my Aldebaran BFS XG. Bought it hoping to throw Trout Magnets but in practice I still find spinning to be better for that 1 g range. But at 2 g or more BFS rules! I also arrived at the same brake setting, 4.25 works 90% of the time. Thanks for the test brother.
I would say its also at least 60% rod.
...and hands - 50%...
"Fishing is 90% rod and the other half is the reel." to paraphrase Yogi Berra.
Awesome🤩
Are you gonna pick up the new Daiwa Alphas SV TW when it come out?
no, but maybe the zillion, im interested in the 2 stage air brake
it just need to be broken in! i said the same thing when i unboxed my XG, but now it's freaking smoooooothhhh
Its deceptive, it doesnt feel as smooth as the Alphas until you tighten the drag down and throw some resistance lures like inline spinners. Then the smoothness gets better than the Alphas
You said the Trout magnet go straighter on Alphas Air TW than Aldebaran BFS?
so if the abu has the lightest bfs spool, just put that on the aldebaran? or is it not fully compatible?
plan to review the slx dc 70?
next year
Esos carretes con 10 metros de línea trenzada de 30 libras ya están llenos!?
Does the diawa sv tw or sv tw103 cast as far as the tatula elite. I know they wont backlash as much because of the sv spool but if the elite casts way further than I don't know. Or could I go all in and get the diawa costal sv and put boca bearings in it and then it'll be able to do it all, while looking great.
if anyone knows how to help that'd be great to! thanks
The Tatula SV does not. I returned mine after I took it out and went with the Zillion instead. Much happier
@@majorlazer83 so what was wrong with the sv so far I have only heard great things about it.
@@BigOldBass the tatula sv can cast 1/8oz to 1 oz with like no effort it's a very polyvalent reel. It skip amazingly well.
I think the tatula sv is more of a close quarters /tight environment reel. Where you can only do hard short cast and don't want to blow that spool.
The coastal sv look to be tuned to cast much farther than the tatula sv. Maybe it's due to the CRBB bearing on the spool 😁.
Sorry for my bad English I'm french
@@scalzyyvier9852Oh thanks alot do you have them both.
Can you please do the Abu Garcia revo mgx vs the lews pro ti
I dont have either of those reels
Lol "so i just bought a brand new aldebaron". Shimano stock would drop if you quit buying reels. Id love to see a video of your entire collection these days.
COME ON SHIMANO!!!
please come with another bfs reel...
this dude cant make the proper comparison now ... one is oldies and the one is newies... 😂😂😂😂
btw, tf you bought another aldebaran😂😂😂??
Which one is the best Aldebaran bfs XG reel or the. Scorpion BFS XG reel
Aldebaran bfs.
Why not to make battle? Aldebaran ( stock ) vs Air vs Aldebaran ( upgraded )?
thats coming later
The aldebaran is the king of the lightweights, in my experience. Sure, you might find a reel or two here and there that might cast “such and such bait” a little better but...it probably won’t be as ergonomically nice. My oldest alde has been through years of hard work and it feels like it only gets better with time.
Do you have the 16 also?
@@makeorwellfictionagain3553
That I do
Why do you not use braid? Bfs still hasn't impressed me enough to spend a bunch on a set up. Do you feel it's worth it?
try the budget ones first.. I enjoyed fishing with bfs setup. if you like it then that's the time you upgrade.
No. A 2500 size spinning reel would cover a range of lures and caught many species just being versatile. I just got a vanford 2500
@@chaoyang9080 you know your vanford cost 4 times some of the budget bfs combos out there. I am with you on spinning reels being versatile, but it will not hurt if you try something new. Like I said it just boils down to your preference and curiosity. although I find it much easier and accurate casting with a bfs combo than with an ultralight spinning reel combo. especially when you are working with artificial lures throwing, jerking popping and cranking it up for their action. I kinda being slowed down using the spinning reel as you would be opening the bail out for each cast.
I only use braid on my bfs setups, with a fluorocarbon leader of course. To me bfs is my preferred style of fishing, I've caught pan fish, bass, trout, barred surf perch, corbina, mackerel, and bonito.
@@uuuuugggghhhhhhh your setup is the same as mine..braid with mono or floro leader.
Appreciate the Scripture at the front. Liked. Q; In what way can removing magnets improve the casting of a trout magnet? With stock setup, you can already dial the braking down so removing magnet would simply be the same function, no?
Good question, we will find out when I do the test.
How much line does it hold brother?
Goal for many is to maximize Distance with as light a lure/jig a# possible. I might suggest 4# test Berkley Nano-fil and 100’ of line and then a 4-6# Mono leader.
Be well.
Sabes no cacho nada de inglés pero igual te entiendo saludos
Love the scriptures. Just for that you got my vote
Aldebaran vs scorpion for a first time BFS’r? lol
Great biblical quote to start the video.👍🏽👍🏽
Not a very good copy of my GH100 🤣
I will say the line is more important than the rod
Good review bro..BTW i've sent u an email. hope u can respond to my question🙏🏻
Put the conquest bfs gear system in the aldebaran bfs 🤫
thats be great!! just exclude the weight.. huhuhu
@@muhdharith1808 not worried about all that hehehehe
@@The_Multi-species_Angler hahaa.. good for you... that's my concern tho
Im sure the next Aldebaran will have micro gears
@@THEREELTEST yezzaa...
i hate this reel
coz i dont have it
bait weight Trout Magnet = 1.8 grm., I guess?
0.9 grams
FILL UP YOUR SPOOL GUYS! There is physics involved; it is misinformation to not fill your spool up while expecting maximum performance, further casting distances and accuracy.
A full spool not only has a effect on distance and accuracy but also your gear ratio.
When casting with a "full spool" the distance gains come from more line coming off the wider diameter spool; that's why BFS spools have a wider circumference. The shallow aspect of the spool [line capacity] and porting aids in lowering the rotational mass and friction (lessened by line contact at the spool) which has an effect on lure weight options to be cast; in the context of BFS allowing for small lures to be cast further and more accurately.
Gear ratio is effected by line capacity due to the fact that it takes more turns of the spool to take up more line; there is a calculus involved in this part of the development of reels. Example: Changing the tire diameter on your car will affect the speedometer. [Speedometer calibration is done by tire size]
Shimano, Diawa, KastKing etc. exhaust alot of resources in Research And Development of their products and in my opinion I think it's in our best interest to approach modifications and expectations of performance, durability and functionality from the same perspective(s) as they do. Let's follow the science. (No pun intended)
I don't work in the fishing industry, I'm a subscriber and I like what you have going on. ✌🏾
You typed all that and missed the point of this video
For a shallow spool on BFS reel, it is the opposite. Less line = less weight to cast light lure
E
Alpha >> Aldebaran
prove it
And if I cast a 0.9 gram jig at 15 yards (45 feet) using the Tsurinoya X 50 reel, then Tsurinoya> Aldebaran?
The reel test, I really think you should prove it since you've got both reels at hand.
