Calcutta Conquest BFS

Post by timinmo » Wed Feb 08, 2017 4:46 am

Just received an email from Japan Tackle and my Conquest BFS is on the way. I am normally a Daiwa guy but I can't resist Calcuttas.

Is it bad to be left and use right handed reels? Figure I could use both...

Also what was the price after shipping if you don't mind? Those have the Finesse Tune Brake just like the Aldebaran BFS right?

Mine is a lefty. Basically it is $50 cheaper at Japan Lure Shop. Shipping was $20 at Japan Tackle, I don't know what it is at JPlure shop. My impatience cost me some money. I don't know if the brake is identical to the Aldebaran but the concept is the same I believe.

I remember they charge 2000 JPY so it depends on USD<-->JPY.

I am holding off until I hear some comparisons between the Scorpion and Conquest, vs the Aldebaran Bfs. Boy is it hard though... :lol:
