Impressive Seasir Commando BFS Fishing Reel
After using this reel for a couple of trips I really began warming to it. I was able to dial it in and achieve some incredible casts with both the light and the heavier spool. I found it to be very versatile and extremely smooth.
Join me as I let you know whats great and what I would improve slightly.

@@TheConstantAngler it’s pretty impressive what these affordable reels can do. Makes me wonder what the next big innovation is going to be as casting performance just keeps getting better and better! Loved watching you catch all those salt species. Out of curiosity, do you ever eat any of them or just for sport?

Thanks for the video, I have the Acura 50 and the bigger Dark Wolf 150 (not 50). Is the Commando closer in size with the Acura 50, or is it bigger? Is the spool compatible with the GKA 200? Thanks!

The Commando not sure how big in relation to the DW150 but it is the next size up from the Acura. I am pretty certain the spool is compatible with the GKA200 as it is with the misurelure

Hey mate, what do you specifically look for in what would be deemed a saltwater safe reel? Stainless shielded bearings? What about the Man gear material?

@TheConstantAngler 6 ай бұрын

Brass for a main gear is good and Aluminium can be, so most of the reels we use shoudn't be too bad. I guess because i generally use budget reels i do not worry too much. I spray them off after each trip and make sure i pay attention to the level wind plus spool and its rim. To be honest i don't have many problems but i am not using my reels day in day out and probably once or twice a month. This would be a great question for my group BFS Budget Finesse Fishing. Why not ask it and i will add it to the guides. While we are at it you are very welcome to post your videos on it mate.

@@TheConstantAngler thanks, yea I'm generally reluctant to post my visa on FB be ause I do y want to come across as pushy or spammy. I just had my first salt kayak session and sprayed my silver feather with water (I used a spray bottle you would use for your garden).

@TheConstantAngler 6 ай бұрын

@yep.ultralight that’s what I use. I add grease to the screw heads and levelwind. It’s not ideal but it helps. Don’t worry about posting mate it will give you some exposure, your don’t come across as pushy or trying to be some sort of expert. To be honest my moderators are far more knowledgeable than me🤣

@PIYOSKAMANFISHING 8 ай бұрын

I'm just concerned with the aluminum main gear..well its suposed to be brass right?will aluminum main gear stand the wear and tear? I just want to know your thoughts about the main gear.

@TheConstantAngler 8 ай бұрын

Sorry its taken me a while to get back to you. I agree that maybe brass will last longer but alot of these reels have Aluminium main gears these days and I have not heard of any problems with them. I guess it depends on how much and what you use it for, alongside how well the gearing is manufactured. Im guessing whatever they state it will be the same as that in many budget reels. As it is so cheap at the minute i think you have little to loose. ive not experienced any problems with mine but I am not using it week in week out. hope that helps.

I've got the KK valiant 2, and i can cast those 3 grams lures very far. It was more expensive, like 70 bucks, but i don't regret the buy. I don't know if it performs well in saltwater.

@TheConstantAngler 9 ай бұрын

I’ve used mine in saltwater. I have 2 VE2. I spray them off after each trip. Take off spool plate and take out the spool. I then wipe around the spool lip with a damp cloth to remove salt. Add a little grease or oil to the levelwind mechanism.

@@TheConstantAngler How does the valiant eagle and the seasir compare to the Zephyr?

@TheConstantAngler 7 ай бұрын

@slabslapper8507 The Valient Eagle isn’t as well made as the Zephyr but it has tighter tolerances and is a much more compact reel. Some say it is over braked but only if you consistently through sub 2gr lures. It is actually hard to birdsnest. The Commando is a fantastic reel for the money. Really smooth like the Acura but more the size of the Zephyr. Again I ended up tweaking the brakes by adding 2-3 magnets. Now it is a fantastic reel.

I’m not sure exactly as I didn’t measure it out, but as far as any other reel that size. It depends on the rod you are using. If it is designed to throw lures that size then good distances. It has a free running spool so probably further than others.
