I need some help deciding on a new BFS reel. I have an Aldebaran BFS XG and was wondering how it compares to a Daiwa SV Light LTD. Anyone fish with both? Or, do you have a reel that you like better? I would be primarily fishing w/ 1/8 oz. baits and down to 1/16 on occasion. I don't think that I'd be fishing lower than 1/16 and anything over 1/4 oz. I'm probably using a different reel/rod setup.
I have (another) BFS rod on the way (Evergreen Stingray 66) and I'm wondering what reel to pair it with. To complicate things, I could put the Alde on it and find a reel to match w/the MB X7 Super Criffhanger that I'm currently using the Alde w/.

Re: Aldebaran BFS XG vs. Daiwa SV Light LTD
The Aldebaran BFS will do better with below 1/8oz. 1/8oz and above, SV Light is really nice. It can handle below 1/8oz too but, the Aldebaran will be a better choice at 1/16oz. The SV light is a really versatile reel. Only limit is line capacity for heavier stuff.
Other reels like the Alphas AIR and such will work as well but, on something like a Criffhanger, the SV Light seems like the best choice.
