Post by zelmo » Fri Sep 24, 2021 6:14 am

Any reasons to use one over the other?

Weight rating. Both overlap a little but, the AIR BFS does the lighter weights better. The AIR are more versatile

Thanks.

I found the page on their website for them but don't see a weight rating. https://www.hedgehog-studio.co.jp/product/1950 Am I looking in the wrong spot or is that just something you need to know?

Basically if you will ever throw 1/2 consistently or surpass 1/2 as the max weight rating you are throwing with it, then go with the AIR bearings and not the BFS. If you are going to throw 1/8-1/4 all day every day with the occasional 3/8 that doesn't have a giant trailer on it or something, then go BFS.

Thank you. My reading comprehension is failing me.

That happens sometimes for all of us, I think...

But I have red those pages a lot and I remembered what there is and where it is...
