In this video, "2022 Shimano Aldebaran BFS - NEW Shimano BFS Reel (BFS Fishing) Unboxing", Hobie-Wan Kenobi talks about many features of the Aldebaran BFS, compares to other BFS reel and even takes frame measurements. If you want information about the 2022 Shimano Aldebaran BFS, this video will give you MUCH information.

2022 Shimano Aldebaran Specs:
Weight: 130gr (4.6oz)
Bearings (10+1)
Line Capacity: 6lb-45m
Spool Diameter: 29mm
Spool Weight: 7gr
From Shimano Japan:
Aldebaran BFS, the leader in bait finesse, has undergone a dramatic evolution with a newly designed magnetic brake. The newly adopted FTB enables a wide range of brake settings by taking a long movable stroke of the brake unit, and the arrangement of the magnetic ring has been reviewed to eliminate the influence of the magnet in the weakest brake setting 1 as much as possible. Succeeded in getting closer. The synergistic effect of the new FTB that suppresses excessive braking and the low inertia Magnum Light Spool III realizes the growth in the latter half that does not stall until just before landing while maintaining the low trajectory that is Aldebaran's weapon. Even a 1g class ultra-lightweight lure can be sent to the depths of the structure with a trajectory that crawls on the surface of the water. It is the birth of a new Aldebaran that fascinates with ballistics.

Very nice introduction into the new Aldebaran! Thanks for the measurements and the overall breakdown of the reel. I've been very pleased with this new model. The casting out of the box is the best that i have come across so far. I own 30 or so bfs reels and this one gave me the chills casting it. Many of my reels are heavily upgraded and this new Aldebaran is right there or even perhaps a little better, especially with 1.5 grams and under. Truthfully, the looks of this reel in person are way better. Its really growing on me. It feels fantastic in hand. Looking forward to your next casting video!

Great In depth review! I just ordered one. The 2022 is super smooth and even stock spool and bearings seem very smooth and quiet. The only thing I noticed as well, was the drag star setting at the lowest/most loose point still seems pretty tight. Not sure why Shimano did that? My Shimano Scorpion and Curado BFS reels can go much lighter on drag.

One thing …. Shimano should make the direction of the brake dial consistent across all its baitcasting reels…. Eg clockwise … DC reels lessen brakes while other reels like the Aldebaran tightens brakes when turned clockwise …. surely a basic fixable re-tooling job I’m very keen on the new XG rate vs the previous XG rate (8.1 then vs 8.9 now) and the difference in how a lure retrieves

Wow I'm getting it. Those o-rings are genius, finally they may have silenced the dreaded spool play that drives me crazy when I'm jiggin and working jerk baits. I would like to know how it compares to the gekkabijin. Particularly smoothness and how tight the tolerances are from reel to reel. I've really keyed in on how tight the tolerances are in reels and it has become one of the most important factors to determine whether I like a reel or not. I don't like my curado bfs for that reason....

Shawn, I do cast some small hardbaits. If you are bass fishing with all around lighter lures, Jackson Blast Beats has some very versatile rods that can fish plastics and hardbaits just fine. Bait Finesse Empire got some in stock in the USA. If going to only use plastics, I suggest the Dobyns Sierra 700 SUF. Feels like a MH jig rod casting bass plastics but, downsized in power to cast lighter lures. baitfinesseempire.com/product/jackson-blast-beats-rod-series/ Whatever rod you decide, I want to know what you choose and how you like it. I like to see what people choose for fishing gear to get a feel of differences between anglers.

Man...might be enough to get me to get one....if the performance difference is there. Those o rings might allow for less spool tension. that spool design i like. but would be more beneficial on a shallower spool though. i always line my spool knot up over a hole in ported spools. one of the reason i never got a avail shallow spool was because of fishing the conquest shallow shallow special had knot issues. Probably cant use new spool on the 16? I wonder if the orings help retain oil? my aldebaran limited is almost unusable if it gets dunked because the lite oil gets washed away. Other reels i lose some performance before a re-oil but not as bad. I think the Daiwa Presso was out before the aldebaran bfs also. More of a niche trout marketed reel but its sub 1/8th performance still hangs with more recent reels. Super light drag also. like 2lbs or somthing. i fish with it cranked all the way down almost...lol Oh...Dont forget the bfs grandaddy the daiwa pixy! ;) Thanks for the table top review.

@@HobieWanKenobi true the pixy wasnt as capable an ul reel but its popularity kinda led to bfs in my opinion. The presso was a ul bfs capable reel. I fish my 16 aledbaran exactly how i fished my presso. Presso was overlooked and underated. Admittedly the presso dont cast as far or pitch as good out the box as newer reels but if it didnt do as good as it did i probably would of gave up on bfs. You gave up a lil distance with the presso but after you set the brakes and spool tension you could cast without thumb. Reel was suoer consistent.

The 12 has the same brake system as the 15 LTD. Not the greatest for light lures in the wind but, weightless bass plastics feel great with it. The frame is awesome with the CoreFit body. Fun fact: The Shimano Stile is the same frame as the 2015 Aldebaran (non BFS) with the CoreFit sideplate so, it is even smaller.

I've used the steez air quit a few times even on 1 but I'm crazy and like to push my skill on thumbing. Think where Shimano exelled is adding a bigger bearing on the smaller spool which gives it inertia to keep spooling. Like the 51s CQ heavy spool but due to larger bearing I could even cast 0.8 on it with thumb.

Micro module gears,so it a New reel! Oh wait Shimano puts Micro Module Gears in almost all of their baitcasters over the past years. I hope it can cast the 1 gram trout magnet. I really can't tell which brand is better anymore...Daiwa or Shimano. It's a wash. The Tackleadvisors was RIGHT.

What an ugly reel. Zero chance id consider this over any of the bfs alphas variants.

I agree about the looks. The casting is different story.

The looks arent horrible. I think the 2016 looks better but, looks arent enough to deter me if the performance is there.

@@GW2_Community_Is_Autistic I chose to to spend a little extra for looks with same performance than the 2022 lol. Once they come out with aftermarket parks for that ugly brake I'll eventually get one.
