Great Video❤ It‘s very nice to have content about the CC SE from a source that is obviously competent and I can understand. And yes: I would appreciate to learn more about the Huntsman- Rod. Thank You !☝️😌
you speak better English than many around me that were born and raised here in usa. I love the channel and content. More reel tech and spec vids please. Material used in reels is very interesting to me.... hint
Wow that is a big compliment lol glad you love the content. Material is indeed super interesting. Shimano has become more transparent on this (at least on their Japan website).
30HG will not be able to do 1 gram. Conquest BFS might be able to but not without proper rod and line matching. If 1 gram is constantly needed, I'd look at Avail's super micro casting spool for 23 Conquest BFS, it comes with the line guide worm shaft which limits the line guide to only the central 50% and turns the spool into a 14 mm width tiny spool.
Great video! I have a question for you…have you ever used a shimano Metanium DC 70A reel? If so, if you could get the DC 70A or a 24 Calcutta conquest 30HG for the nearly same price, what reel would you choose for casting 1/8 oz - 3/8 oz lure weights? The DC 70A looks to be 1.7 oz lighter than the CC-30HG….(aluminum gear vs brass gears?)….that’s a fairly substantial difference in weight.
Yes the new black out Met DC, I have the 71 lefty model, been using it for about 3 months. I would say if you plan to use only one reel to cover a wide range of lure weights and types (i.e. different air resistance), I'd go with the DC; if you plan to focus on lures on the lighter side like 1/8-3/8, I would go with the Conquest 30 HG. This is only considering casting though. For handling fish and lure presentation, the DC (or low profile in general) fits better for palming, also gives more leverage to the presentations that require a lot of wrist action (i.e. less fatigue). Weight difference is the other. Al gear saved maybe 5-10 grams of weight compare to the previous gen. Met and Conquest have two different platforms so a lot of parts are made of different material, with Conquest aiming at long term durability. For myself, I am not impressed of the micro module aluminum gear's retrieve feeling on the new Met DC.
I'm on the fence here. I need a reel to pair with my Fenwick Aces 6'8 Light fast moving special. Plan to use it exclusively for small crankbaits, such as the OSP Blitz and other 2", 3/16 oz baits. I really don't want to use a BFS reel as I want the additional line capacity. It looked like you were having some mild issues casting that 5 gram jerkbaits. How do you think this reel would perform casting quarter ounce crankbaits? I would imagine better than the same weight jerkbaits. My other options are to use my Steez CT or SV Limited Light.
I threw Megabass Z1, had no problems at all, but Z1 is equipped with LBOII, that helps a lot. With a 6'8" light rod I think you shall be able to throw 5-7g crankbaits more comfortably. The rod I was using was a light powered trout rod, pretty wimpy and short. Longer rod definitely will help.
I own the 23 Calcutta Concrest BFS. Will the setup you put together for your test, be good for bass fishing? Using my 23 Concrest BFS and the 6ft Huntsman?
No I will not use the Huntsman for bass or big trout. It is a spaghetti, a cooked one LOL but, does provide a ton of fun fighting a 1lber...just imagine a 5lber on this set up. If you want something cool and fun for bass, look at Pagani Trad or other Pagani series (Megabass retro old school bass rod mimic) or the Tenryu Speed Stick (I absolutely love this as a fun rod for bass).
A different view of fishing, like the technicality details in youre videos. When casting these light lures what type of rod would you recomend, noticed that youre rod bends easily with these light lures. I have a shimano metanium MGL and megabass levante 4 pcs rod 7-21g medium fast, should I go for a slower rod to get better casting distance ?
If distance is your aim, then find the rod that loads well with your daily casting weight is key, as important as using the thinest line that could handle your fishing condition. Type of lure is also critical since air resistance plays a huge role in long distance casting. Future vid will detail these. Stay tuned.
Hi! Good video... I would like to buy this reel for sea light game (7-10g baits). Would you reccomend the calcutta SE or BFS? I feel like the SE has more power but i could use it for small rigs anyway
I'd definitely go with the SE. BFS has line limit (if you want to stay strictly as the manual says, you could not use mono line, and you could not put more than 45 meters of FC line on the spool due to potential spool deformation caused by line tension...). For saltwater application FTB design to me is just calling for durability problem on the long term (salt going into the spool and onto the magnets etc).
Do you think I could use the 60L for shoreline BFS bass and other species? or do you feel like the taper is only suited to trout and trout lures? ( too soft ) Also thanks, your videos are quite good - subscribed to both of your channels.
Thanks for the support! It will be too soft IMO, can only throw super finesse treble hook baits and spinners and spoons, but not good for soft baits like Texas or small jigs etc. Also if any cover (weed, wood, boat dock, pilings etc), I don't think it would have the dominance to pull bass out given the power and length of the rod. Open water yes, a 1 pounder smallmouth would be a hell of a fighter on this rod lol Talking about bass applications using similar trigger rod for single handed casting, I would use Pagani (either the Trad like appeared in my first vid or the 1 piece) for bass-sized plugs, etc.
In a nutshell, the 24 Conquest SE is not a true BFS reel compare to the 23 Conquest BFS, I would not throw anything below 1/8 oz on the SE, but no problem going around 1/16 oz on the 23 BFS, and would be able to reach lower if everything else (line, rod, bait) are in good match.
hmm...in the test when I got down to 3.5 g leech spoon I was feeling the trajectory becoming much higher, approaching the lower limit this spool (with fluorocarbon and mono backing) could achieve. I'd say if you spool it with super thin braided line, it might still handle lighter lure reasonably OK. But for that regime I would opt to a true BFS reel like the Conquest BFS.
The casting brake mechanisms are completely different. BFS is Shimano's FTB (magnetic brake); this one is still SVS infinity (centrifugal); spools are different in diameter and line capacity (SE does not have the restriction of "no mono line" etc...); main gear material for BFS is Al-alloy; SE is still brass. These are some main points from top of my head.
@quintabass ti consiglio questo canale, ne ha anche uno originale in cinese con subs (a volte) ed ha aperto da poco questo. Uno dei pochi recensori che sa di cosa parla imho.
Megabass Pagani series has 1 piece or 1 piece+grip settings. Great Hunting is their trout series I guess they want to keep the closed length short for mobility reasons. Tenryu has those middle cut 2 pieces trout rods, awesome too.

Glad you liked it and thanks for the kind words. Tight lines 🐟
seems like the perfect power finesse reel. Subbed right away to the english channel. I can finally fully understand the content lol
Thanks! Agree
Thanks for the English version.
Thanks for watching!! Tight lines 🐟

I want to know more about that rod, like specs, price, and where I can buy one. Thanks

I’m looking for a similar set up that can toss down to 1 gram. Thoughts? Or maybe another video please. Great content thanks.

Great video! Would love to see a video on Megabass 4 piece rod!
That rod is a work of art!
I would like to see you fishing more with this setup, megabass rod and Calcutta
Will do! Actually I pulled Conquest SE off, Great Hunting is now paired with Conquest BFS. SE is now sitting on Madbull running spinnerbaits.
Great content by the way. Keep em cooking 👍
Awesome overview. Thank you.
I would also like more details on the travel rod
Thanks for the English version.
Please make a video on the Great hunting rod. Thanks
Cool, will do 🐟
Great video! Does this reel have the same dimensions as the Conquest 23 bfs?
The frame dimension is the same, spool dimension and brake are different.
That’s perfect so very palmable as you mentioned in the videos :)

Definitely want to know more about that Rod! And any other pistol grip rods.
OK I guess the rod you were asking about in the other vid is the pistol grip lol it is Megabass Pagani Trad with teak handle.
@@BassniperEng Thank you. I would love to see a video where you review it and the Great Hunting rod. And any other pistol grip rods you have.

comparison with the 23' conquest bfs? please
In a nutshell, the 24 Conquest SE is not a true BFS reel compare to the 23 Conquest BFS, I would not throw anything below 1/8 oz on the SE, but no problem going around 1/16 oz on the 23 BFS, and would be able to reach lower if everything else (line, rod, bait) are in good match.
how do you ? cast with gloves ? i would not be able to thumb it with those
These are nitrile gloves, they wrap tight around your finger so not too bad once you get use to it.
Do you think if the rod was UL, it would help with casting below 3.5 g?
hmm...in the test when I got down to 3.5 g leech spoon I was feeling the trajectory becoming much higher, approaching the lower limit this spool (with fluorocarbon and mono backing) could achieve. I'd say if you spool it with super thin braided line, it might still handle lighter lure reasonably OK. But for that regime I would opt to a true BFS reel like the Conquest BFS.
Can you put a BFS spool in this reel?
No. If you want true BFS spool, check out Hedgehog Studio.
Does the reel come in a LHW version to avoid wasting time changing hands every cast.
Yes it does. Shimano says should be available in April...let's see if Shimano keeps its promise for 2024. The past couple years, no.
Would love reviews on this rod.
Component constructions,performance, quality, value.
What's the difference between this one vs conquest bfs 23?
The casting brake mechanisms are completely different. BFS is Shimano's FTB (magnetic brake); this one is still SVS infinity (centrifugal); spools are different in diameter and line capacity (SE does not have the restriction of "no mono line" etc...); main gear material for BFS is Al-alloy; SE is still brass. These are some main points from top of my head.
@BassniperEng I see, it'd be cool to see the comparison video between SE and BFS! Thanks.
whats the difference between the 30 and 31 ?
30 is right hand retrieve, 31 is left.
Interesting, thanx!
great video👍
haha you apparently chased me down here 🐟
Happy new year🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year!! 🐲
@quintabass ti consiglio questo canale, ne ha anche uno originale in cinese con subs (a volte) ed ha aperto da poco questo. Uno dei pochi recensori che sa di cosa parla imho.
gracias Señor 🐟Thank you Sir~
so cool！❤
Happy Chinese new year !
Happy New Year!!🐲
I want that rod, but in a 1 piece preferably. A 2 piece will work though
Megabass Pagani series has 1 piece or 1 piece+grip settings. Great Hunting is their trout series I guess they want to keep the closed length short for mobility reasons. Tenryu has those middle cut 2 pieces trout rods, awesome too.
Because I can Cast 2 grams with my Tatula easy, sold my Aldebaran XG Daiwa has stronger spool and dragg too
Cool~I'm curious which Tatula?
Only watch your Chinese channel, thanks for the English version
Awesome， looks like I made the right decision. 🐟 And thanks for watching my other channel as well.
