Last year I got my 17 conquest bfs upgraded with a Roro spool. It outcasts the new aldbaran bfs. And the upgraded conquest has very low trajectory while casting, which is perfect for creeks.
@goblinelite1912 Жыл бұрын
what's your model of the roro spool? does it really cast further? and can it cast 1 g lures? thanks in advance

I am impressed. Not by the reel, but by your willingness to not praise a "new, better" Shimano to the skies. Thanks for a much more thoughtful, objective and useful Shimano review than is typical on your channel.

cuz it is truth. 23 cqbfs is no better than 17. So as 22 Aldebaran compare to 16. The new ftb system is unstable.

Honestly everyone has preferences when it comes to reel. Everyone has an opinion about which one is better. At the end of the day, the person who uses the reel matters about how the reel feels to them. No one is right or wrong.

Thank you for this! I’ll try to save y’all $$$. Crank up spool tension and brakes to near max then back them down as needed. When it is “free” it is FREE. This surprised me and cost a spool full of premium flouro. It was user error but assisted by the reel’s exceptional adjustability.

I got my Conquest BFS 23 this week. I am wondering what pound test you are using on your Conquest BFS 23 and if you are using braid or mono or flouro. I spooled 10lb, 2 lb diameter mono Power Pro Superslick 8. I'm not sure if this is the perfect line for this reel. It seems the line "jumps" when casting at times. I am thinking of jumping to 15lb braid that is 4lb diameter mono. Would going up to 15lb braid be okay to use on the Conquest BFS?
@philyphily774517 күн бұрын
For Power Pro, 15lb braid would be too thick for this reel. Seagur Seabass and YGK Upgrade 15lb would be better choices.
@alex111683 Жыл бұрын
I'm curious. Why all your videos you only use mono? Is it just a preference you have or what's your reason? I thought braid was the way since it keeps the spool the lightest.

Curious to see how the SS Air TW turns out. Have been living my Aldebaran BFS for small bass lures, using 7lb Fluorocarbon. Would be tempted to get a Conquest BFS even if it is same as the Aldebaran, unless the SS Air TW is crazy good...

Ive got a '17 scorpion dc that the yoke springs went out on it. Shimano was gonna charge me $200 to fix it. A new one is right around that price. I plan on getting a new one but i can handle replacing those springs myself if theyre attainable. Any suggestions???
@jurepeternelj9 ай бұрын
200$?! The yoke springs are like 3$ a piece.. Look at your schematic and find the part number (BNT....) , than just google it,order... Ez pz
