Aldebaran 23 BFS Frame Material

Post by Ghost » Thu Oct 12, 2023 10:53 pm

What is the frame material of the 23 Aldebaran BFS? I see some sites say it's magnesium and others say it's Hagane.

Which material is being used?

It’s magnesium. Hagane is just a marketing term and can mean both aluminum and magnesium. It just tells you it’s not plastic…

How much 6/7lb fluoro can you stick on this spool? Does it cast with more ease and distance than the Daiwa offerings?... Gekka, 23 finesse SV TW
I've seen and read many times that this is the BFS king, but... I'm a Daiwa guy.
