Lovin' this reel so far! It's fantastic for fishing the 1-2.5 gram range for me so far!
It's certainly impressive and it feels great! Can't wait to fish it for real!
Bought one of these after trying 2 of the top rated alliexpress reels and couldn't be happier with it for tossing Sierra slammers in high alpine lakes and streams. It honestly will SAVE money as my other Calcuttas have easily lasted decades and still perform perfect.
Glad u are enjoying it. I sold my Aldebaran 22 to get this guy. Both have similar quirks that doesn't make it a perfect reel, but u are right! It will so last longer than the majority of reels on Aliexpress. While those cdm reels are budget friendly and allows people to dabble in bfs.. I rather get reliable, better quality feel and best of all better performance for a longer period of time!
@@rawrfishing Great channel!
Thx, I appreciate it. I wanna do more trout fishing. Any recommendations on your fav lures to throw in bait finesse?
@@rawrfishing Being a novice, I seem to have the most luck with black woolybuggahs and blades in streams and tube jigs and swimbaits in the clear small lakes in the eastern sierra. Those high end hard baits cost me too much in losses😬
Wooly bugger jigs that I tie was my fav! If it wasn't for social media for sake of content creation... Marabou Jig of any variations is my go to! I think we could be good friends if lived around me lol
Nice! You were getting some nice long cast. I really like Calcutta Conquest. Thanks as always for sharing. Appreciate you! #raWrFishing rocks!
Thx! It's definitely a cool reel and now u may see me buy a bigger reel for my other fishing lol
Nice casting demo for the reel. I understand catching some fish while doing a demo. But catching a turtle. Come on, that is showing off a little. Again, nice demo work. Have a great and safe memorial day with the family. Be blessed. My friend.
Them turtles can be a hassle to handle lol... I felt bad at first, but I did remove some leeches so we are even I hope? Have a great memorial day weekend!
I bought this reel three weeks ago and received it relatively fast and I'm absolutely in love with this bfs reel (first bfs reel, go big or go home)😂
Damn son! Very hard indeed! So what rod did ya get?
@@rawrfishing I got a 3 piece lasting valiant eagle ultra light for traveling paired with it but I'm looking for another rod as well for local use
Kastking
Oh I have that. It's like a light rod rather than UL as the tip is too thick
@@rawrfishing I've noticed that, it says ultra light but doesn't seem like it throws really light lures well
The 1/16oz jig with a 2” bvibe is the first lure I fished with mine and it was slinging it far with ease. I’m very happy with this reel. I have mine mounted on a 6’8 Phenix BFS Classic rod
Glad to hear you are enjoying the setup and especially the killer B Vibe on the 1/16th. I used to do curly tail grubs and jigs exclusively. Cheap and it catches. But with these micro swimbaits, they just flat out Slays! Especially on your favorite bfs setup!
How long of a mono/fluoro leader do you attach to your braid? Use what knot? Does the knot get hung up on the rod guides when casting?
A yard or so. Never long. My guides are not small Enough to get impacted. But fg knot is the best for those who need it. I use the Albright knot with no problems usually
Good ehrn a fish hits even before ya get the rell dialed in.😁👍
The fish loves what I throw :p #thefishdontwait
Nice test man! So I am assuming in stocked combo the Calcutta will mainly be in the 1/16-1/4 range and higher for heavier lures? I am thinking it due to how heavy the spool is? I don’t think it will do well under a gram without aftermarket spool. Other than that if it bombs in the 1/16-1/4 area I’ll be happy with it in stocked combo. Do you think the Calcutta will be okay during trout season without any modifications?
This size 28mm spool is indeed a bit heavy. While Shimano advertised it being able it do 1 gram, you have to limit the line. But 1.3 grams and up is great.
As usual, for 28mm spools, u will not get great distance. It's more about having the spool light as well as dispense less line, making it easier to control and prevent over spooling.
So that said, your range is fine. But for 7 grams, you can have some far distance with larger bfs spools.
I think it's perfectly fine for trout fishing in streams
Sup jimmy, nice looking setup, got dialed in fast, and cought bass and a turtle lol. Everyone catching lot of turtles lately, hope snappers don't start up lol. Bad experience catching a giant, had my lab with me and she got to close, it but her back leg and cut a tendon, I thought was an artery the way was bleeding, had to shoot turtle and leave my gear to rush to the animal hospital, almost died and $1600 surgery, over $1000 vet bills... My friend went and got gear and snapper, they made turtle soup, I'd never try it but after the surgery and she stayed in hospital I ate 2 bowls lol. Wasn't thinking, but could've cut line, was in panic mode. Have a great memorial day with friends and family 👊, tyvm tc 🎣
I sure did get this reel dialed in. Good lord that's some major bill! Hope the pup is good now. Turtle soup is good I heard lol
@@rawrfishing yea I always heard was good but afraid to try lol, I ate many wild animals but was mental thing I guess? If wasn't panicked, then mad I might not have tried, was good, made like a beef stew with peppers. Daisy is 9 yrs old now and ok, but scared if take fishing, she couldn't hunt with me, so when I got really bad I had her trained as a therapy dog, never leaves me, even the regular I call sun turtles? I just cut hook and push barb through now, sometimes I cut and leave a piece of barb there, hope you enjoy weekend, son getting big so enjoy every minute bro👊, tyvm tc 🎣🍺
Glad to hear daisy doing good! Yeah my kiddo is getting big and sometimes he's too much to handle. Hope I can get him into preschool soon so I can get back my life lol
@@rawrfishing I hear ya brother lol, when get into preschool the hardest day is first day letting go. It's hard.👊
How would you compare your Salamandura BFS to the CQ BFS'23?
Two different reels as usual. I would say the Salamandura air tw is gonna be a better bass reel since it got a wider spool for heavier lures. But I will have to find out as I haven't had the chance to try it out yet. So hopefully soon! Put both reels on a heavier setup and try some summer tactics!
try using aldebaran bfs and cc bfs compare the two reels using lure fly fishing😍
I currently do not own Aldebaran BFS 22. I sold it. I have the 2016 one and a Roro spool. So I can try that one!
Nice vid Jimbo! I have the aldebaren, it’s just ok. Now the daiwa ss air, dare I say maybe the best bfs on the market….
Thx mate! I wanna try that reel after I recuperate on this reel lol...
I hear ya bud. Had to sell the aldebaren to get the ss air lol! The ss air casts like the zillion sv with the roro spool. Aaaamazing!
@@phatndo I sold alde for this lol
Thoughts on this having a aluminum gear? I totally forgot it did and ordered one. Shimano has been claming "as strong as brass" on some of the recent releases with aluminum gears.
Good! It isn't soda can aluminum. Aero grade! Ones they use on air planes. So got enough power for bfs. Bfs reels doesn't have much drag and anglers shouldn't even use max drag on it.
@@rawrfishing right was just curious of longevity! Thanks man
I think if it's fished as intended, it will be good! I have many cdm reels that uses aero grade aluminum and so far, no issues :)
Any drag sound sir?
Yes. Check the unboxing video
Pretty crazy how you caught that bass on the .9g jig head with nothing for a trailer lol! I noticed the break adjustment dial doesn't click this surprised me being the spool tension knob and star drag does click. Is it just my reel? Thanks...FishOn...jimi
Those jigs are flies so it definitely is something! They can see it well!
Nah brake dial does not click. It allows you to have better control. Clicker forces you on specific settings. No micro tuning
@@rawrfishing Thanks! I may go take a cast later today but it's pretty cold here in N.Florida 42° last I checked. I am pretty far north I could be in Georgia in a 1/2 hour from here...FishOn...jimi
Nice. It's better than what i got here... 29 degrees and frozen in NJ lol
@@rawrfishing lol What's crazy is I lived in Cherry Hill NJ most of my life! I used to fish Asunspink wildlife area, Parvin state park, Cooper river, Union lake, menantico sand wash etc. Wonder if you fished any of them? One of my favorites was rising sun in Asunspink wildlife area...FishOn...jimi
I fished Every spot listed ;) parvin is still nice with big fish, heavily fished tho by tournament folks for that reason
Hello,
I got my Conquest BFS 23 this week.
I am wondering what pound test you are using on your Conquest BFS 23 and if you are using braid or mono or flouro.
I spooled 10lb, 2 lb diameter mono Power Pro Superslick 8. I'm not sure if this is the perfect line for this reel. It seems the line "jumps" when casting at times. I am thinking of jumping to 15lb braid that is 4lb diameter mono. Would going up to 15lb braid be okay to use on the Conquest BFS?
Congratulations on the cool reel. I should have mentioned all the line details I have used in the beginning of the video. You can rewatch for the details. But the key is not to over spool line and use line thin. I often use 125 ft if 0.6 gou diameter.
I don't use lb rating when we talk braid diameter. We go by the metric used By japanese to measure line diameter, 'gou'
Do you prefer this reel over the low profile's? My next rod build is getting a bfs reel and I just dont know if I want to spend this amount for a reel that I may not like to palm. So Far the Daiwa ss is top of the list.
I feel like low profile reels are better for it's compact size. But this reel is surprisingly small. I usually grip my rod, so it doesn't matter much for me. But I can palm this. I will try to palm the entire thing next time I am out and fish it a bit and report back
I feel Shimano bfs brakes works best on a loose spool and turn the brakes up and let them
Do their job.
I think that's pretty much all bait casting reels that utilize magnetic braking. It's the only way I fish no matter want brand. Dynamic or static!
What knot are you using for the two lines
Albright knot! Need a tutorial?
What's a good ul rod that can cast 1-3g jig heads for ajing soft plastics?
Tsurinoya dexterity line up is a popular aji style rod!
@@rawrfishing can you recommend some UL rod that is not ajing specific?
Tsurinoya Dragon C602UL, Tsurinoya Clever C522UL
Thank you for answering all of my questions, but I have one last question. What is the best budget CDM BFS reel?
I like the USDM ark Gravity bfs reel. The CDM equivalent would be Haibo as they acquired the permission to use their gravity control braking system.
Have you had any trouble with your lock engaging after you cast mines been acting up ever since I took it out of the box I ordered it from Japan so I don’t think I’m gonna get any help from Shimano
Lock? Meaning the thumb bar pops back up and the the cast ends due to the sudden stop of the spool?
@@rawrfishing yeah it doesn’t fully engage about half the time
I have the issue of where it doesn't fully engage after cranking. This is one of reasons why I did not like the Conquest 2023! I knew I Should have gotten the older one :(
I think you can replace some parts. Could be something to do with the clutch system. Folks in the forum should be able to tell u more and suggest which parts to get if u wanna give it a go. Or there are reel maintance folks who might be able to do it for a fee
@@rawrfishing that’s the same thing I was trying to say.
Oh man. So it's about a few folks who experience this. Some of my older reels be like that.. But perhaps it simply just need maintenance. I think the group on FB should be able to give some advice. Robert or Earl be a good start if ur in the bfs group
try to convince EPF leo to get one too lol ... jk
Lol I was supposed to fish with him tomorrow.. But wife wanted a family vacation for the extended holiday weekend. So we had to cancel
Us; "describe 2023 Conquest BFS." raWr : " I am backlashing"
I shown the progression of learning and tuning the reel to casting good didn't I?
@@rawrfishing just pulling your leg, you did well!
Thx
Hey Jimmy, could you do a distance casting video, but where you adjust the spool tension according to the mass of each lure please? 👍
I can make something! Let me see... So a video on how to tune a bait casting reel for beginners essentially? From tuning everything on the reel to casting?
What’s your favorite BFS reel?
This is one of em. But alphas air tw and Salamandura Air TW are notable ones. And lastly, alphas 800s
I don’t get how this could be better than the 22 Aldebaran given it is mostly the same components, braking system, spool etc. If anything the added bulkiness would make it less balanced in certain rods. I think of this reel as an alternative for people that want Aldebaran performance but prefer a round reel.
Hey... I don't get it either. Just reporting the results of the two reels after fishing em. And no it's not 100 percent identical. This one have a bit more braking as the brake module is in a bit deeper into the spool where as the alde, its not at the lowest brake settings.
My 22 Aldebaran is very finicky on the brakes.
How about side by side comparisons of both
hi would u recommend this reel for peacock bass fishing
Sure! It's a good reel, but how big of a fish are we talking about?
@@rawrfishingif average size arnd 3-4lb?
Oh that's cake! I was pulling in 10 lb barramundi on this lol
Here's the vid ruclips.net/video/outWeA5s7s4/видео.html
How did you not like the new aldebaran?
It was inconsistent no matter what I did, unlike this reel.
@@rawrfishingI agree my 22 Aldebaran is very hard to get dialed in.
@@rawrfishing Same with me. I thought it was me or something wrong with the reel because no matter what I did, I couldn't get it dialed in. The Conquest was much easier to dial in and mine cast really smooth and with good distance.
You like and the reel test not so much...interesting
We are different folks after all. His casting style and fishing style is definitely different from me.
А обзор где?
I only have done a cast test and show how low it goes! What else do you want to know?
Damn this reel is $$$. Wife ain’t going to like it!
There is a reason why taking the wife out to the outlet once in a while and buying a bag she likes will allow you to enjoy more fishing gears lol
Unless you're a stay at home dad, I could understand.
Daiwa BFS > Shimano BFS
I think so too, but the amount is not vast. I like this reel a lot.
sell me one of the BFS reel that you don't use.
Ur a bit late on that lol. Just sold the Aldebaran BFS 22. I wanted to sell a kastking kestrel elite... But with the price drop on Aliexpress... I don't think I can sell it at a price that I would be satisfied :(. Everything else I have are not for sale. But if you wanna put in an offer for a slightly used left hand retrieve KK kestrel elite, let me know. I only sell and ship to folks in the US and will use PayPal to invoice (you won't need an account, just a CC
