16 Aldebaran BFS w/ Conquest BFS micro gears
Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2020 5:46 pm
Is this the ultimate 16 Aldebaran BFS??
Conquest BFS micro gears w/ Avail 16ald15r spool.
Aldebaran BFS to me is the benchmark of bfs reels currently on the market. Lightweight, consistent casting and decently priced. Haven’t been fishing my Aldebaran much because I’ve been spoiled by the buttery smooth Steez CT and Air. Don’t get me wrong... the Aldebaran is very smooth but Steez CT/Air is on another level. Seen a post in this group a member using Aldebaran gears in his conquest to achieve the higher gear ratio and gave me the idea to use the micro gears in my Aldebaran. For my style of fishing I’m not too worried about gear ratio. I fish rather slow but I love reels that are ultra smooth so I can have the best feedback possible to what my lure is doing and to feel even the lightest bite.
No modifications needed to use these micro gears. Just need the main gear and pinion gear and it drops right in. The brass gears are 9.1 grams heavier but reel still weighing in at 136.4 grams (4.81 oz).
