I have my aldebaran bfs xg on an ace hawk also, I love the combo together, but am also a beginner in BFS. Do you have all 8 magnets in the reel and what settings did you have on your reel when throwing the 1.6g jig? Thanks

How much and how long would it typically take to ship a one piece 6' to 6'6" rod through rakuten? Thinking about ordering either the jackson trickster stc-64L or stc-60l from the seller proshopks. Also considering the MC Volkey vkc-65ul bfs too through plat. Any input on the rods would be great too!...

Great looking reel! similar to mine but i got the swept handle and aluminum knobs, my favorite reel at the moment.

Does anyone own the a jackson bastard rod? Was thinking about picking up the BTC-632L to pair with my px type r and wanted to know if it was any good compared any of the major craft bfs rods. I originally wanted a trickster, but i can't seem to find them in a two piece and don't feel like ordering a...

Just finished my metanium, everything from samurai tackle

I added about 3 of the thin metal/rubber shims and the knob fits much better but there is still a little play, i may try sanding down the plastic shims or go looking for more of the thin metal ones, thanks for the help so far guys, ill let yall know how it goes

I ordered everything from rakutan, proshopsk was the seller

I have the zpi offset handle on the way too, hopefully i won't have any problems putting the knobs on it, but any tips would be greatly appreciated

Its way too tight, is this the correct order?

I just got a set of the aluminum knobs and i can't figure out how to install them correctly, i've played around the bearing and plastic collar order but can't seem to get it . Can someone please tell me how to do it?

thanks for the reply, i do believe it is something thats in the side plate (side w/o handle) but i wasn't sure how to properly disassemble that side of the reel. If i pull that side off and shake it, it does sound like something may be loose inside.

Sometimes when casting or free spooling, if the reel is turned on its side with the handle facing up, it get a crackling/popping noise and it slows the spool down. Anyone have any idea or suggestions on fixing it? Thanks!

Like if i take it apart and pull the gears and drag pads off, its flimsy and moves around. With the side plate on, its fine, its just a little loose inside and is making a little noise

I usually only use shimanos and this is my first daiwa so I have no idea but is the drive shaft supposed to be flimsy? I took it apart to clean it and i had to grease up the drive shaft pretty good to get rid of the grinding noise when turning the handle. Other than that i love the reel, so far i've...
