It was on Instagram - same account as listed above.

Got so hyped for that CC BFS, after I initally settled for: "nah, I wont be needing another BFS reel"
Im definitely getting one!!!

Me too. I have never pre-ordered anything before in my life, but I am going to be refreshing JapanTackle every day until they start taking orders.

Japan tackle is claiming the new Conquest is going to have centrifugal FTB brakes.. I doubt it but I wish!

[alafly]

Noticed that too.

It surprises me as I thought the break should be same as 16 Aldebaran BFS which is magnet brake.

And conquest BFS also has lovely Clicking star drag feature as 16 Aldebaran BFS.

I think it's an error.. unless they figured out a way to use centrifugal brakes without attaching them to the spool?

I hope too...

Ok Shimano finally released the specs for the new Exsence DC.
The Good:
4x8 DC Exsence Tune
Micro Module Gears and Xship of course
Unsure of what metal the body is made of but it loses a little weight at 225 grams
7.8 gear ratio
37 mm non MGL spool

The Bad:
74000 yen! Its basically a saltwater Antares DC with that price! Im disappointed in such a huge price increase but Im still getting one lol

The price is definitely unfortunate...whether I buy it or not

I wonder what the line capacity is on that new Exsence? I'm all in on that reel if it holds a good amount of line! Spool looks deep enough in the pics. Should make a sweet topwater reel for covering some water on the flats.

Just read that the Conquest BFS will have BFS spec bearings and oil.

insane +1

I know it was mentioned briefly in this thread early on, but is it confirmed that the CQ BFS is the same size as the '15 CQ 100/101HG?

I only have information from japantackle where it is stated that the BFS is "50 sized" ( smaller than the 100)...

On page 5 of this thread it looks like it has magnets on one of the pics.
