Aldebaran mgl vs. non mgl
Aldebaran mgl vs. non mgl
Is there any discernible difference in actual performance in these? I hate to lose line capacity but I’m also a sucker for the latest and greatest.
Re: Aldebaran mgl vs. non mgl
I was worried about line capacity also. Looking at both spools the mgl is noticeably shallow but the line capacity is 10 yds max difference. I run 10lb p line tactical and no issues. It throws a weightless fluke pretty far, more so than the '15 alde. The upgrade is worth it

Thank you for the reply. I should add that this will be a pitching reel for baits primarily in the 3/8-1/2oz range.
Re: Aldebaran mgl vs. non mgl
Line capacity should be no issue as a pitching reel. Where I think the alde shines though as a finesse casting reel. Maybe 1/8-1/4oz reel for pitching finesse baits. For me, for those weights you listed, I'd want a more powerful reel. And if I'm pitching those weights it'd would be around some kind of cover and I'd prefer a 8 gear ratio so the metanium mgl would be my #1 choice.5bites wrote:Thank you for the reply.

Re: Aldebaran mgl vs. non mgl
I’m considering one actually. I’m a sucker for super light weight and small size though. I have a chronarch mgl that pitches excellent but I’m kinda wanting to build an ultimate combo. If shimano made a magnesium curado 71 I’d be all over that.

Re: Aldebaran mgl vs. non mgl
When I bought these i took the line straight from my non mgl alds and maybe had 15-20 ft left over. They are basically identical.
Thats speaking of the ald 30mgl from japan. The casting performance is noticeably better.
