The Ultimate Abu Garcia Reel for BFS? The Limited Run LX992Z
Introduction: When it comes to JDM rods and reels, Shimano and Daiwa receive all the fan fare and rightly so, but Abu Garcia has been thriving in that space as well. That's where their coveted Fantasista series of rods were born. With a few exceptions, most of the reels they've offered in this space have been USDM reels with different finishes, but every now and then, Abu Garcia Japan partners with founder of Imakatsu, Katsutake Imae, to deliver a custom tuned reel for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) worthy of attention. Today, we take a closer look at one such reel that sits atop Abu Garcia's BFS division, the 2020 limited edition LX992Z.
Unfortunate that these are difficult to source, as it's definitely a reel I wouldn't mind getting my hands on. The line capacity specs listed - Which spool?
On a side note, what did you think of that Legit Design rod?
Both spools are listed in the spec… legit design rod is written up and awaiting publication
Look forward to that one. So not a big difference in line capacity between spools. I like how the shallow bfs spool still holds more line than most dedicated bfs reels. 80 of 8 is about perfect for my outings.
