How much was that handle? That is the sharpest looking handle I've seen yet =P~ \:D/
And did it come with the knobs or was that an extra splurge?? Either way congrats!! I love that first trip with new gear.

It's an 80 mm zpi bfs handle I got off ebay. Think it was around $100. Knobs are the older model aluminum knobs I got off a buddy. Hard to find.

Plan to put them on a zpride whenever that happens... :)

Awesome pics man. Can't wait to get this reel for myself! I will be pairing it with my new Poison Glorious 66L+ BFS Rod when it finally ships sometime in April/May?

Thanks for the info! Been looking high and low for the righties, just placed my order \:D/
With the new Revo LTZ BF8 coming out, looks like it's going to be a BFS year

Nice, your aldebaran with purple zpi spool would pair nicely :big grin:

I'm always so envious of guys living in places that are a stone's throw away from spots where they can put BFS gear to good use. It looks so fun but I can't justify investing into the gear and then having to drive ~1 hour each way to pay the permit fee and likely rental boat fee at the "local" lakes. I feel unlucky but maybe I should consider myself lucky because of how much money it saves me :D I doubt I would be able to stop at 1 combo.

Nice crappie and nice setup, looks like a blast.

There are lakes are BFS specific? If you can use a UL-ML spinning rod then i don't see why you cant use a L-ML BC rod there either.
