Anyone tried the Aldebaran MGL?
New JDM bfs reel.
Aboslutely love my calcutta conquest and thinking about trying this next but cannot imagine it can compare?
Looking for a reel as smooth as the calcutta but with lower profile.

I too am in love with the conquest and think it would be tough to beat. That said, a buddy with the Aldebaran says that they are very close. His words......” make your decision based on feel in hand”. The conquest wins when considering large swimbaits or crankbaits

Fishing the Aldebaran MGL now... it's a nice reel but it is not a low profile version of the Conquest.
That distinction goes to Antares.

Perhaps I should take a look at the Antares. After using the Calcuttla Conquest BFS Hg all my other reels feel geary.........Cal wrote:Fishing the Aldebaran MGL now... it's a nice reel but it is not a low profile version of the Conquest.

Coming from a Daiwa guy, the Antares is my favorite cranking reel. Casts far and is super smooth.1nutinthewater wrote:Perhaps I should take a look at the Antares.

Re: Anyone tried the Aldebaran MGL?
Soooo if i am seeking a low profile reel with the smoothness of the conquest does anyone that has owned numerous bfs reels have any recommendations?

Re: Anyone tried the Aldebaran MGL?
When is comes to smoothness, the Conquest has always been in a league of its own.
I have both the Conquest 100 and the Alde MGL.
The Alde MGL fishes about the same as the regular model Alde. I think the casting maybe slightly easier due to the new spool. On the retrieve it fills the same as the regular Alde that it is replacing.

Re: Anyone tried the Aldebaran MGL?
Thanks for the input- Maybe i should just get another conquest! Absolutely love the smooth, liquid feel of it just looking for the same in a low profile. Even the chronarch mgl feels like a pencil sharpener in comparison.
