Ok so japan tackle has it listed as 8 + 1
and it shows both side plates to be aluminum.

Here is a link

I would say that it has only one bearing per knob like the chron mgls to make 8+1
What is the new ald advertised as having?

But the shimano website shows the bantam to be 7+1

Thanks for the links! Now if I could understand Japanese ha. I wonder if it gained a bearing on the drive shaft?

I can’t find a thing about the new aldebaran!!!
Not in a single video.

So on the bantam mgl
The sideplate and the spool access plate are both aluminum?

Curado 70k???

Thanks for the info, these has been a bit of misinformation on some TT reviews lately.

So the TT review says it’s in a 70 frame?? I swear it looks like it’s in the 200 frame. Can anyone confirm if the new dc is in the 70 frame?

Thanks

I hope so too, I have no idea why companies are so tight lipped about the new releases. Let us drool now and save up lol

I have been fishing the 894 for a while, I am impressed with its sensitivity. They are leaps and bounds ahead of the previous model. I am thinking about another soon.

I’d like more info on the ald 30

AWesome - exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks!

Is the 842 handle shorter than the 843? It shows it to be on the tackle warehouse site but not on the loomis site. Not sure which one is correct.
This would be the newest style rod.

Anyone have both that could compare for me?
Thanks !

That’s what the curado k is. It has the extra drive shaft bearing too.

Awesome
Lol now I’ll have to upgrade all my aldebarans
