Re: 22 Aldebaran bfs vs 23 Conquest bfs
I haven’t used my Conquest enough to answer this completely, but in general, to me, a round reel is just a different experience. They may cast identical, I don’t know yet, but the real difference is in having that hunk of round metal in your hand, which I like. I am a traditionalist and I like thing...

Re: Fluoro on Gekkabijin
How does the deep spool work in a gekkabijin? Looking for a finesse spool that can throw 1/4 oz well still but have like capacity. Where I fish, you can hook a small spotted bay bass or a bay ray. Had a few short bfs trips because of being spooled by a ray. It works very well! More than enough line...

22 Aldebaran bfs vs 23 Conquest bfs
For those who have used both the 22 Aldebaran bfs and the 23 Conquest bfs is one or the other easier to cast?
Disclaimer, I have both but I just didn’t get enough time with them this summer to make a determination. Herd thinning is on the hozizon and I’d like to keep the best performer.

Re: Calcutta Conquest BFS 2023 experiences so far?
My CC23 has been doing quite well. I was throwing a small beetle-spin with it and my glass progressive at a school of big bluegills under a railroad bridge on the Mississippi River the other day. It was great until one of my casts found a bridge support and blew up the spool. 🙇♂️ Need to put new li...

Re: What Did You Use (Hardbait) to Catch Your PB?
The summer I graduated from high school, 1977, I took a 22.5” largemouth in our west-central Wisconsin small town lake on a jointed Rebel.

Re: Thicker/Heavier FC for BFS reel
The Gekkabijin with a Ray’s deep finesse spool does a fine job with light duty work. Mine is on a ML St. Croix loaded with 8# Tatsu. It may end up with a braid w/fluoro leader approach but for now it’s straight #8 Fluoro.

I hope it’s priced less than Tatsu.
