Looks like Shimano FTB :lol: The Gekka TW was a disappointment which 28mm spool is too small and couldn't cast far enough. Hopefully this is better but I am not too positive for its again 28mm spool.

YES!

I'm so happy to be wrong in my speculation of this new Conquest BFS reel. Now I just have to wait until one of my primary JDM reel retailers has a pre-order for two right handle versions.

Plat take a pre-order,I already paid for my Calcutta BFS

Abu make a nice reels for BFS fishing,a most popular small ambassadeurs 1500C and 2500C ,in stock they're have a heavier spool,but it's a tons of upgrade for them,it's cost,but in the end you'll have one of the best reels for stream fishing.

Maybe of interest, 3g!!!

Without bearing 2.7g impressive!I've ordered already...

Sure

I did,nice spool,but not a big different from stock. In my hands A22 cast better them Gekka))),so it's all depend of full set-up(rod-line),and kind of lures you used. Mostly I'm fishing small jig(0.6-1.5g) and tiny cranks and jerks .Oh,yea, try to clean spool bearing,maybe A22 not so bad

Also interested about "new Ftb", is that different on right and left handed models,or same,like on old models(GH100 and Black Knight-Tsurinoya)...

For this budget it's hard to find something ...as an option,check blanks(or rods) from aliexpress.

Thanks for info! Looks like budget line,and good chose for different condition...but why no cast models

A bit bigger fish)))
