Value & Source for 16 Aldebaran BFS-XG Spool?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Value & Source for 16 Aldebaran BFS-XG Spool?

Post by ultralight » Tue Jul 02, 2019 2:10 pm

I thought I asked this on TT but simply can't find where I did. Perhaps I was just THINKING about posting a while back.

How do i figure out what is the value of the 16 Aldebaran BFS/BFS-XG spool as it comes from the factory? Where can I order additional and does new spools come with the bearing installed?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Id say get the Avail 16ALD15R spool. Less expensive and performs better. KTF if you need more line capacity. Original spool is overpriced compared to the upgrades
