That is true but I was very disappointed that the drag star is ci4 plastic 🤦♂️. For 300 bucs at the least it should’ve been aluminum. Still a great reel though.
Still thinking about getting it.... just don't like the magnetic contol wheel... unlike the Daiwa Alphas (which is beautifully done)... this makes the 22 Aldie look cheap... compared to the 16 Aldie which is such a beauty..... I bought 2 at a go.... 😜. Need to slowly let it grow on me.... I will take my time to get over the look.... 😬😵

Right now is the time to buy. The Japanese yen is in the dumps so the exchange is great. The Diawa Gekkabijon air tw is less than 300 dollars shipped. Menatanium is less than $250.
@@RXAngler np thanks to your channel I got the steez A TW HLC for 70 dollars cheaper than I bought by previous one. Gotta love this current exchange rate. Keep stickin’em!
I was going to buy a aldebaran but I think I going to change my mind I got the daiwa gekkabijin I think about buy two more Daiwa gekkabijin it’s more bearings plus it not graphite or plastic shimano needs to get rid of who in the world design there Reels Daiwa stepping up with there Products A-1 DAIWA
Do you have any problems with these magnesium reels corroding in saltwater? I been wanting to buy a magnesium reel but I been holding back because I mostly fish in saltwater.
A well respected reel guy here local in the Houston area opened one up and talked about how he doesn't recommend using magnesium reels in saltwater. And you see why when he opens it up.
It means wat it means ...he's not saying it and he didn't make it up. So he's doing something wrong by simply knowing wat something means??🤔 Focus on your plank...
In your shootout video, use a little zebco too. No bs. See how well it does compared to ultra premium bfs reels
the JDM SLX bfs came out with the MGL III first in Japan technically, so that most likely means first to the U.S. market.
Love these reel reviews. Keep em coming Nick!
💯
Nick the frame magnesium and side plates are ci4t.
Thanks for that.

The Daiwa Alphas Air is a great reel. I think this new Aldebaran will perform just as good as the outgoing model.

Just placed my first order from Digitaka because I’ve come to trust your channel…but I’m still nervous about getting scammed 😬
You made a wide decision. It’s a legit website/company. What did you order?
@@RXAngler that makes me feel better, I bought a Stradic C2000SHG
You have no worries, they are awesome and shipping is fast!
great online store. Fast shipping too.
Great store. It probably is already at your doorstep🙀
Hi mate. Now 2023. Tell me, who better aldebaran bfs 22 or daiwa gekkabijin air tw
I will say aldebaran bfs by a hair.
Can use at saltwater?
Rx Nick ,

Thnx Y’all

curious on where you finding it for less than 300 dollars shipped. All the place I'm seeing it is 350 minimum, that's pre shipped as well.
@@torment6369 digitaka. GekkaBijin AIR TW PE 21 GekkaBijin AIR TW 8.5R PE SPECIAL RIGHT is $297 shipped from Japan.
Question brother , Shimano Metanium Dc , 2020 Metanium mgl or 2020 scorpion Dc ? Which one would you say is better. Thx Manny
New Metanium
What’s the time frame if you order from digitaka ?
About 3-7 business days.
would you rather the aldebaran or the custom lite ?
Aldebaran
Nice video…new subscriber from east Texas here. Big bass angler. You wouldn’t happen to have discount codes to digitaka would you?
Not at the moment, no. Let them know you saw my videos in the notes section of the order and they may expedite the shipping for you.
@@RXAngler np thanks to your channel I got the steez A TW HLC for 70 dollars cheaper than I bought by previous one. Gotta love this current exchange rate. Keep stickin’em!
I got mine for 275 yen is super low right now thanks for introducing me to digitaka, my wife hates it 😂

The Daiwa Gekkabijin is a hell of a reel. I think this new Aldebaran will do well too.
Wait you said that about the last reel. Bro I can't keep up with you. DAMN DIGITAKA!!!!
Don’t listen to whatever the RUclips people say
Acquiring these new reels….It’s a black hole you can never escape hahaha
you are always getting nice fishing reels. Are you sponsored by Shimano?
No sir
Do you have any problems with these magnesium reels corroding in saltwater? I been wanting to buy a magnesium reel but I been holding back because I mostly fish in saltwater.
If you properly maintain them after use, you have nothing to worry about.
A well respected reel guy here local in the Houston area opened one up and talked about how he doesn't recommend using magnesium reels in saltwater. And you see why when he opens it up.
Who pays that much for a reel lol that's wild af honestly
people who got money lol
*have Lol 😂 do you actually use them or keep them all nice somewhere on a shelf
@@Marcus_918 i use mine, i don't have expensive reels though i have metanium mgl and exsence A
That’s what’s up.
Dang man those reds are gana spool you if you catch a hard fighting 1
You would think, but I’ve caught some big reds on the older Aldebaran and never had that issue.
@@RXAngler I have the model Alderberan prior to this one, and was worried about that as well but man it handled reds 30”+ like a champ
green?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Lol
What does WTF mean Christian? Do you really need that nonsense for views? How much difference does it make?
It means wat it means ...he's not saying it and he didn't make it up. So he's doing something wrong by simply knowing wat something means??🤔
Focus on your plank...
