Yea if you want to cast long on ultralight you definitely don't use a 500. You use atleast a 2000S if not 3000S

[@danielkarlsson3734]

Not bashing the test but...choosing a 500 size spinningreel was not a great choice. Spooldiameter(bigger)IS THE thing when casting thoose coffeygrinders. A wiser choice would have been a 2500 sized spinningreel. Thoose 500's are really not that great. I'm a baitcasting-nut myself but a missmatch is a missmatch...

[@jamesbarron1202]

The best FAIR comparison is matching them by similar weight.

[@billsikes4007]

The distances between my 2500's vs a few 1000's are inconsequential. There is a slight advantage with the 2500, again, not a enough to make a difference. The biggest difference with smaller diameter is the the chance for a wind knot shoots up considerably.

[@THEREELTEST]

I disagree, bigger spool, bigger coils to fit through the guides.

[@jamesbarron1202]

@@THEREELTEST DUH! I know that. Who wants to throw a heavy ass reel compared to lighter reel. I’m saying base them on equal weight for the same fishing experience. If you aren’t doing that just go for a 4000 size spinning reel which would cast even farther. Apples to Apples.

​​@@THEREELTESTi understand your point, we didnt see any cast battle from him. Props to you for doing this video. But to be honest, he got valid points too, why dont you use thinner braid? It cast much smoother and longer. In my knowledge when it comes to tiny lure, most of the fisherman i met always use braid. Its a hassle to tie the leader everytime , i get that, but it does have more advantage compared to mono or flouro. Im not on anyone side here. Im just pointing things out. Once again, thank you for the cast video.

I have a casting and spinning delicacy. Maybe I will try to do the same with an optimal spinning reel or just compare the optimal spinning reeln to a 500 sienna

[@THEREELTEST]

lets see it

[@rhysperry9548]

Couldn't of picked a worse spin reel, for a start, its a basic bait reel for kids, versing specifically made BFS reels. I would suggest a 2500 Vanford or alike thats been designed for lure fishing. Next the rod been a cheapo, with slapped together parts, maybe ok for bait cast but definitely not spin reels, bet the spin rod first guide is less than 30mm(guessing 20mm), wont affect bait casters, but spin hate it. May i ask why your not using casting plugs or tear drop sinkers for these shoot outs? IMO, this is not an accurate test.

[@greyson8035]

Have you done a 2022 aldebaran versus 2023 conquest bfs casting battle because im trying to figure out between these two which one I should buy and. And what’s your favorite bfs rod

[@THEREELTEST]

honestly the Conquest might be more beginner friendly. The brakes are not the same on both.

[@jessicaandtrains7768]

A spinning reel with a bigger capacity like a 2000 or 2500 would cast better. Bigger spool. More line coming off from the outer portion of the spool, causing less friction with the lip of the spool. A smaller capacity causes the line to come off from deeper on the spool quicker, increasing friction. I'm usually a fan of multipliers over spinning reels but not when it comes to BFS lures and line sizes.

[@GoldenHourFishing]

Most people are using 0.6 or lower on a spinning reel that small. Not to mention higher tier shimano reels have the long stroke spool which further assists with casting, the sienna is an entry level spinning reel.

[@THEREELTEST]

Most people use flouro for spinning from what Ive seen. Also a bfs reel casting 0.6 will increase casting distance as well. A higher dollar Shimano spinning reel is irrelevant. BFS haters always say a cheap spinning reel will outperform bait finesse reels, I just proved them wrong

[@GoldenHourFishing]

@@THEREELTEST If the point was to prove "A cheap 500 size spinning reel cant outcast a bfs reel" then yes you have succeeded.

Someone could probably answer this for me, “Expensive Spinning Reel Vs. Cheap Spinning Reel, -which cast further and or does it even matter?” Thanks 🙏

[@leepao6302]

it doesn't matter the price; but spool size do matter more, because bigger spool will create larger coil, larger coil means less friction while the line is dispensing from the spool so less friction means you get further distance relative to the weight of the bait/lure you're casting

[@TTangOutdoors]

This video answered a question I always had, and that is why THEREELTEST channel almost never reviews spinning reels... and I'm a long time follower. A small diameter and shorter spinning reel spool does not equal to "ultralight spinning reel", it's mostly the weight of the reel that makes a spinning reel ultralight so it balance nicely with an ultralight rod. Casting distance on a spinning reel is mostly dependent on line diameter (thinner braid for best distance), spool diameter (bigger diameter the better), and line lay on the spool (longer spool height and slower oscillation makes the line come off easier), better spool lip design for less energy loss and obviously longer rod. These great features can be found on higher end reels like the Vanford, but even getting a 2000 size or 2500 size Sienna would be better than a 500 for casting. You picking the 500 Sienna distance casting 4 gram lure is like picking a Daiwa Tatula 300, in terms of picking the reel for BFS weight distance casting. I read some comments here and I have to agree on some of them… In a recent video, you mentioned you barely used spinning reels in fishing, so I just assume your knowledge in spinning reels is not as in depth with bait casters. Nothing like butt hurt feeling or anything like that, but when I saw this video on your channel I just noticed something off… you post great stuff man and I always appreciate the bible verses in the beginning.

[@channguyen3349]

I have done similar tests and I can confirm the result. Spinning reels with mono have no chance against baitcaster. Also done tests with braid. Bait caster still win with braid, but with less margin.

[@Woefman911]

Thanks for your hard work, its fun to watch. Cant wait to see bigger spinning reel challenge as well.

[@billsikes4007]

Great video and get ready for spin fanatics, they will be coming fast and furious. I will grab my spinning gear 100% of the time for dropshot and low light fishing. It use to be this way for trout fishing on streams, until two years ago. After a couple of days on the water with the 22 Aldebaran, there was no going back. I've never compared ultralight casting distance between the two because distance was never a problem with either due to the type of fishing. But I absolutely can say the distance on the open water is ridiculously in favor of baitcasters and it's not even close. The one thing that has people shying away from ultralight baitcasters is the effort needed to be able to have a repeatedly functional cast. Hand both reels to your friend that doesn't fish much and see how many casts he can make with each before you have to respool. For one of these, the answer is always one so I do get it if you do not fish a lot.

[@THEREELTEST]

as I stated in the video, any butt triggered people can film their own cast battle and post the results. None of them will. Enjoy the Aldebaran, its still the best

Cool comparison here, but I have to weigh in. I certainly appreciate your hard work and time input to creating these videos. I do not have the means and time to create my own comparison. However I have to agree with others that a 500 size reel is not a fair comparison. Personally I would be comparing a BFS reel to my 2500 or 3000 size spinning reel. I hope we get to a thousand likes because I can’t wait to see the next comparison. I would like to see a segment with a full size spinning reel vs BFS. May I recommend for the next video a 2500 or 3000 size shimano ultegra. They are the cheapest reel with the “long stroke spool” which is supposed to help casting distance and can be had JDM for around $90 USD. Although I totally understand not wanting to spend the $ just to create a video. I predict BFS and casting reels always coming out on top anyways lol. Thanks for all you do sir!

[@leepao6302]

coming from person who used a lot BFS reels, this comparison/battle is kinda stupid, because the spinning (500) you use/choose was choking it's distance due that big lip rubbing on the line when the reel is dispensing the line from the reel, try the 1000/2000 the result might be bit better. somehow i feel you been unfair and bit biased. plus i feel like you don't really know the different in shimano spinning at all; just so you know the 500 size reel have big wide area lip on the spool compares to the 1000/2000. the 500 size spinning meant for short cast in stream and drop straight down only; not for distance casting. so i suggest you do your homework on spinning first before you do this funny unfair battle; just saying 🤣

And yes, I do have and fish with several of both types of reels and enjoy both. That said, I would rarely go bank fishing with only my bfs due to the real possibility of a catastrophic birds nest lol. You put so much emphasis on cast length in your vids when there are so many other factors in reel performance you breeze over. Also, a reel expert such as yourself, should know the Sienna is not Shimano's least expensive reel. Just sayin'

Unfair comparison, a 500 is not designed for casting at all. A 2000s or 3000s is preferred for this, I use bfs and still have spinning for 3lb straight through as bfs can’t match the distance really (and I say that with a grain of salt) as I’d much prefer it not be the case. Mono is also terrible for a casting comparison, it has stretch, and it behaves different on casting and spinning tackle. Try this video again but with either a 2000s or 3000s and see what changes.

Is it just me or is like 85% of this whining about how he bought a tiny spinner? The spool was probably the biggest issue in terms of feeding.

The rods don't need to be artificially matched because literally no BFS or Spin finesse fishers fish buy a rod to make sure they don't have a unfair advantage over some random angler. They get the best they can manage with X amount of dollars. Start a dono for the test IMO. I'd cough up 5-10 bucks to see it tested properly.

[@AlluzHH]

@@DustyNonya I currently own more baitcasters than i do spinning reels. Just built 2 really nice sets for this summer, the biggest problem with baitcasters are that you need to have a specific type of spool and bearing to be able to throw lures under 7g somehow efficiently. I was just out testing my 10-30g vendetta v3 rod and even the 10g lures were hard to get far with a normal baitcaster. I haven't been able to test my bfs setup yet but i really don't believe much from it since the rod was a lot stiffer than i would have liked (LEW'S TP1 speed stick). But i got it for -50% so i decided to keep it for my other reel since it should be an insanely good rod, i've once had a rod with the American tacle microwave guides and it was unbelievable, for a 7-42g that was stiff as hell i could still throw the smallers lures from my box insanely far on a spinner setup but my friend broke the stick in half :(. I think i'll have to buy a glass fibre rod with fuji guides from aliexpress since i've heard that they're insanely good for bfs fishing.

[@AlluzHH]

@@THEREELTEST The sienna was the first reel i bought as my own, i used it for 2 months until the spool starting wiggling all around the reel and it made horrible noise even though i took good care of it. But it's understandable since it's basically one of the cheapest shimano reels you can buy. And for what i've seen shimano reels really aren't worth buying. My friends got dc reels and multiple high end shimano spinning reels and there's really nothing special about them. And i think that you made a huge mistake in this video for not using small diameter braid, still a great video tho.

[@DustyNonya]

@@AlluzHH I'm actually more of a spinner guy than I am a baitcaster fisherman but I even like pushbuttons. As you point out, Baitcasters generally have to be designed for those light baits or simply have a tighter band of usable equipment. I can also swap out an extra spool faster than most backlashes can be fixed; but that's just Pre-BFS finesse tactics as I'm kinda old anymore 😆

Tham man great video. Now i know why I have better distances than my friends ussing baitcasting reels I just fought they don't know how to cast 😂

This guy lost me when he pulled out the crappiest spinning reel in a 500 size when u shouldve been using a 1000 - 2000 size for max casting on ultralight rods and use a vanford at least for the longer spool for casting distance ... and fill up the spool with line ... i own both baitcasters and spinning reels and spinners definitely casts longer distance so this test is VOID ... DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS CHANNEL FOR ANY TACKLE ADVICE .

I have millions of views and there is nothing you can do about it lol

The hell are you ppl talkin about 1000-2500 size spinning reels? Atleast where I live, 500 THE size for ultralight and isn't that what we're talking here?

[@THEREELTEST]

Thanks for being intelligent enough to realize the purpose. I was casting ultralight lures. And even with the 500 Sienna there was a ton of line left on the spool after a long cast.
