Braid

Wanting to try some braided line with my 16 Aldebaran. Wanted to know the best way to attach it to the reel. Always heard you need to start with mono than the braid. With it being a shallow spool what is the way you attach braided line? Thanks in advance.

Re: Newbie Shimarno 16 Aldebaran BFS - Quick Questions

3. I've replaced mine with a BFS Air bearing. It also made a difference casting lures less than 2 grams. Note: If you are casting heavier lures (like 1/4 oz and above), the oils and stock bearing should be sufficient Which bearings did you use? Where they Hedge Hog? Looking to upgrade my bearings i...

I have no issue casting sub 1gr lures and also being able to boat flip big bluegill and small bass with it. It is my favorite ro...

Re: Micro Power Pole

I don't have any experience with either system you are talking about. Thought I would offer another option. Have you looked at the Anchor Wizard? I have one on my kayak I love it. Just loosen the handle and the anchor drops. Turn the handle to lift anchor. I use a 7# pyramid anchor and don't have an...

Crankbait Storage

Been looking g for a better way to store my UL Crankbaits. I think I have it figured out. I picked up a Plan D Pak Max Articulated Plus Fly Box, a couple Meiho Light Game Case J, a Daiwa Tactical Lure Organizer Stickbait Short Box, plus a couple of generic boxes for my micro cranks. All of these hav...

Re: Kayak on Subaru Outback?

I used to mount my Kayak on top of my Mazda # until I got a trailer. Not always easy to car top after a long day of fishing. Of course there are ways that make it easier if you are willing to spend the money. The Hullavator or other type racks like this makes it easier. The EZ REC Rack is another ty...

Reel covers

Never used reel covers for spinning or casting reels. Need to know what size cover I would need for Revo S4, Revo SX4, and the Aldebaran 16 BFS XG. Thanks in advance.

Re: 16 Aldebaran BFS w/ Conquest BFS micro gears

It would be a little faster than the non XG model as that is 6.5 to 1 and these gears are 6.8 to 1.

Re: 16 Aldebaran BFS w/ Conquest BFS micro gears

Been fishing my UL cranks and some 1 gram jig heads with plastic. The reel is stock with no upgrades or cleaning. It is a very capable BFS reel ...
