Got an email from Plat stating my lefty high-speed Conquest order will process on May 8.

Do you think the Gekkabijin with the Ray’s deep finesse spool will handle fluoro or nylon decently? I don't have tried fluoro or nylon for it. But I can't figure out why it wouldn't work good with fluoro or nylon. Ray's spool.jpg Ray's deep spool took 70 m of this PE#2.5 Owner Kizuna. Thank you. It...

Fluoro (or Nylon) I would not suggest for GekkaBijin.

. You have the Gekkabijin listed at 1.7cm cubed, and the Aldebaran is at 4.8cm cubed. That is a bit over double capacity, It’s almost triple the capacity. The Gekka Bijin is a bit frustrating because it’s such a cool reel and has all those bearings and smoothness yet it seems so limited by that sto...

I’m glad this came up because I’m struggling to find a niche for my Gekkabijin. I bought it and an Aldebaran ‘22 BFS and my initial impressions are the Aldy blows the Gekkabijin out of the water for general bfs casting with lighter lures. I ordered a Ray’s Studio 28mm Long Cast solid spool and I am ...

I like your idea of using the Gekkabijin as a mag bfs reel. It would be a nice match for my medium light custom St. Croix. Have you tried mono or fluoro o...

Is this it?

Are you gonna use braid + a short leader? If so, the Gekkabijin is an awesome reel. I didn't like the low line capacity of the stock spool, so I bought a Ray's Studio 28mm deep spool off Aliexpress. It has become my favorite mag BFS reel now and still cast down to 1/8 very well, though I typically ...

The pendulum swings both ways... In the 90s-2000s...Daiwa was known for tight precision-smooth connected gear feel and Shimano was butter smooth/gearless cranking feel. I am thinking more and more that I was just too quick to review the Aldebaran's smoothness. It felt tight this morning on Greers, ...

I can't take it anymore, ordering an Aldebaran right now. Misery loves company! 😫 I had planned for so long to get one but changed my mind. Ordered a HG Aldebaran BFS the second they came in stock, just gonna buy another Conquest 100HG for general duty unless I get the BFS crave. I recently sold my...

No news is no news or something like that.

12# fluorocarbon because of the near constant rock contact in my waters.

Any updates on the delivery schedule?
