I just received my 22 Aldeberan BFS yesterday and was surprised there were neither the reel oil or BFS bearing oil included.
I saw some YouTube vids on unboxing of this reel and to my surprise again, oil are not supplied.
Also saw some unboxing of the 23 Conquest BFS and again, no oils included.
WHY???!!!
How is a buyer of either reel suppose to lube their reel? I know aftermarket oils are available, but I don't have a clue what a good BFS bearing oil would be.
When I bought the Curado BFS a couple years ago, both oils were included.
So buying a newer JDM BFS reel from Japan, you plainly just get the reel, for exorbitant prices?
Shimano Not Including Reel oils???

Some sellers take some weird rule of what’s allowed on air fright too seriously and take out the oil before shipping.
I for example also can’t get any dipping dye from tackle warehouse shipped to Europe…
