BFS Unboxing: Daiwa Gekkabijin PE Special & Jenko Double Down

[@donniefoster7713]

This rod so far is my favorite bfs rod I paired it with the soloking Acura it’s a killer combo and makes long cast with 10lb braided line

[@AaronHuntFishing]

The only downside for me was the guide spacing when you fight really big fish. But, understanding that Jenko is a crappie company, the design makes sense.

[@markuskuebler9294]

The colours match perfekt ! Hope we see you fishing the combo soon !

[@AaronHuntFishing]

Next video will be my first impressions and first time on the water with it. Should be Saturday's video!

[@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL]

Hey Aaron just wanted to say that I am enjoying the videos. I really enjoy your talking head format and imho it works well for you. Anyhow, cheers and look forward to the next one!

[@AaronHuntFishing]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy it. I just kinda felt like trying a style where it's just me talking to a buddy. Appreciate the comment and the feedback!

[@donniefoster7713]

I’m getting the 7ft version next week the handle is bright red

[@AaronHuntFishing]

Cool. Love a good 7 foot rod! :)

[@pauls3616]

Man, that combination looks fantastic. Thanks for the video. I am going to see if Jenko ships to Canada or has some dealers close to me.

[@AaronHuntFishing]

Had it on the water today - unfortunately nothing to really stress test it, but it's living up to the specs.

[@gobybryant1001]

With the way the exchange rate it is right now the Gekkabijin is a absolute steal. I’m waiting for the Gekkabijin air ags to come back in stock to pair with mine.

[@AaronHuntFishing]

Agree. I was considering the Kastking Kestrel, but for just a little more I had to get the Gekka.

[@darrellsomsanith3713]

This is the reel I was debating on getting over the Aldebaran. I am looking forward to more of your reviews on it.

[@AaronHuntFishing]

I had the same debate in the spring! So far I can say they are both very good reels.

[@kevythyrrakalastus1296]

Nice combo! I changed Hedgehog's studio micro bearings into my GekkaBijin. It turned even better. Despite of that there seems micro bearings in original.

[@AaronHuntFishing]

Thanks. Initial casting seems to be very good, and very smooth retrieve! Appreciate your comment!

[@letufamily]

enjoy the next fishing trip with this combo 😉

[@AaronHuntFishing]

Always enjoy the fishing trips! Video coming soon....

[@WereBettaThanU]

How long was it from date of order to receiving the rod? did you order from jenko direct or from bait finesse empire?

[@AaronHuntFishing]

From BFE - but it shipped direct from Jenko. About 5 days, but there was a weeekend involved too. pretty quick overall.

[@christopherlee4613]

The 1/80th oz refers to the bare jig/hook... no plastic or silicone skirt... it is actually 1/32nd oz.... to be exact... 😁 its just marketing hype to attract BFS fishermen...😜

[@AaronHuntFishing]

Well the first casting tests went well. So far not a bad rod at all! Appreciate the comment.
