I bought one the day I knew they were being replaced! Love these platforms!

[@chreim20]

I love mine, good buy, looking forward to you using it in your upcoming videos!

[@williambannister1127]

I love my Mg7, I got it last October, but sadly in October we begin to get ice here. I never got a good opportunity to really test it out on the water. It is super light, casts amazing. I got mine second hand as well. I got a the original box, oil, extra brake pads, etc. I got it for 240$ Canadian, about 165$ plus shipping USD. I also have a curado 51e, a Scorpion 1500XT. Hoping to get a few more from this line up! Love these videos

[@joeybowers4257]

I was in the same boat as you, just bought 2 one mg and an mg7 right around $165 each love them, just need the core to finish my collection! Good luck and tight lines man!

[@trent7700]

I hate unboxing videos,except yours.You are actually excited about it is I am when I get home and there is a package waiting.Tight lines .

[@pappasqually9140]

That’s a sweet looking reel bro !

[@fu11effect26]

just bought a shimano core 50mg7 cant wait to test it out!!!

[@NFL88]

You have good taste. That entire suite of reels just cast "right". The 6 pin VBS system just worked and could be pushed to the limit while maintaining predictability.

[@mojondro]

Noting like the smell of a new or even a second hand reel man that's great

[@tahadogan8638]

Excelent! I have it too.. It's versatile reel..

[@dcotto8765]

nice reel for a steal. tight lines D.C.

[@Toe_Knee_69]

Great review! I just picked up an Aldebaran MG7 on eBay from Japan. What handle and knobs do you have on your reels?

[@bryanyew5536]

looking forward to see the modifications u have for it!

[@BCSGFishing]

Check out the video from 11:53 onwards, I showed the before and after pics.

[@bryanyew5536]

BCSG Fishing hahas I totally missed it! totally gold like my aldebaran as well!

[@robertramirez908]

Happy for you.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 How about the alde bfs xg limited and a brenious? Internals are a bit different but based on same frame. Would be cool to have. I still need that mg 7 and the scorpion

[@BCSGFishing]

Ah those are cosmetically similar but internally different. I had my eyes on a 2015 limited while hunting for the 09 Mg7. I think the limited was on my watch list for almost 8mths and kept being relisted til someone bought it late last year. The main reason I didnt pulled the trigger in the limited at that time is because I didn't know anyone who made a drag clicker mod for it, whereas I had a few 09 mg clicker mods already on hand. I'm kind of a sucker for clicking drags on bc reels. I have since found someone who makes one for both the 2012 and 2015 alde's, but too late now I suppose hahaha

[@robertramirez908]

BCSG Fishing yeah I tried Oleg’s clicker on the limited but doesn’t work. I took it off and threw it my core 50

[@wilsonline90]

I had one of these. I was a bit rough on it. Sold it before it was 100% destroyed lol.

[@Nas-rh8xd]

Nice👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@DavidHernandez-ve6jo]

Out of all those reals which one do you recommend the most because I’m looking into buy one just don’t know which one to choose

[@muhammadfirdaus819]

hey i know all the reels featured in your channel are BFS-rated. however i cant help myself to notice the calcutta 101 box in this video. i believe that would be the 2012 silver JDM calcutta. Since currently im looking for a round bc without breaking my bank, perhaps you can share you thoughts on that calcutta 101. thanks!

[@bucac1213]

Do you think the Adebarran MGL would be a nice BFS caster?

[@michaelfoster5044]

Are you still fishing ? How about a review please on the new shimano rod they put out a video a few weeks ago something limited nice red color and an awesome sword hilt looking handle

[@robertramirez908]

How did you get those RCS corks on the curado and chronarch. Thaw others corks look like the rays studio, do they fit factory shimano handles?

[@BCSGFishing]

The Rcs knobs fit Avail handles which I use on those reels. Those ray's knobs are on ray's handles, I have never tried a ray's knob on any other handle, tho from what I'm reading, it should be able to fit on any shimano or daiwa handle, with a small ring required for the shimano handle.

[@speckleddaddy]

What oem knobs will fit a 50e shimano handle

[@26Tackle.reviews]

nice to see your a shimano guy " iv got the 2016 Aldebaran bfs and so happy as my 1st baitcasting reel ever"" does this 2009 mg7 have the same magnetic breaks and has it got the shallow spool or deeper spool buddybe good to see the reel with all that Bling Bling on it also

[@BCSGFishing]

Oh i'm most definitely a shimano guy, it's a neverending affair hahaha. The 09 mg7 uses shimano's old svs 6 point centrifugal brakes. It comes stock with a regular deep'ish spool and you need to buy an aftermarket shallow spool for it. It is one of the most popular modded reels tho so almost every major aftermarket part manufacturer has a shallow spool option for it. I did show it before and after the bling bling, check out 11:53 onwards!

[@26Tackle.reviews]

Looks spot on with those tuning parts buddy" I love the cork knobs buddy"

[@phildublin2005]

Hi 😊can I use a scorpion dc for bfs or would I need the bfs version. I mostly use soft 5cm soft plastics on a 4g head👍great channel😊

[@BCSGFishing]

Hey! If the smallest plastics u are using are 5cm plus the 4g head you may be able to get away with throwing them on the scorpion dc with something like 8lbs fluoro or lighter 10-15lbs braid. Perhaps filling the spool only about 3/4 of the way will help too. I'd still recommend going with a dedicated bfs reel tho cos that would be pretty much the absolute limit of the scorpion dc.

[@phildublin2005]

BCSG Fishing great thanks and would the bfs reel be ok casting slightly heaver lures too like 6g heads and 3cm soft plastics?👍

[@BCSGFishing]

Yes most abu and shimano bfs reels will have no problems casting all the way up to 15-20g rigs, with the exception of maybe some daiwa air's, those have exceptionally fragile spools from what I hear. Also important to note that bfs reels usually come with very shallow spools so you'd need to use 6-8lbs mono/fc or 8-12lbs braid to get a reasonable amount of line on them.

[@APRAPR-nq2wn]

ah happiness

[@trent7700]

Bryan help please. I can't decide between the Aldebaran BFS, or the Calcutta Conquest BFS? Than there's the Scorpion to consider. I won't hold you responsible for my addiction or my final decision.Tight lines.

[@BCSGFishing]

Hahaha i totally get the dilemma. If u have the budget for either the alde or conquest then don't bother with the scorpion, the spool on the scorpion is a little heavier so naturally it won't be able to cast as low as the alde or conquest. Between the 2 it would really come down to shape and weight preference. The conquest is noticeably heavier than the alde and round profile reels sit alot higher than low profile reels. I personally prefer the look of the conquest but am more comfortable with the lower profile of the alde, so if i were to choose I'd say the alde. However, I'd probably go with the conquest if you did more sw luring. Hope this helps!

[@trent7700]

Thanks for the input,this is all your fault you know.Thanks for turning me on to BFS. It really is a blast to fish this style on all my pressured lakes here in Arizona.Tight lines.

[@trent7700]

So i ended up with the Alde on a Pro flex2 thanks to your recommendation. love it.Thanks so much and congratulations on the little bcsg .tight lines.

[@ronanmccarter409]

You need to get your hands on a megabass zonda

[@BCSGFishing]

You aren't the first person to tell me that, I'm getting a little more curious day by day hahaha

[@ronanmccarter409]

I got my first one last month and want another already. They are almost too good.

[@richarddeboer8934]

Rather have Abu Mgxtreme2 the are better 👍👍👍

[@stevenkurth3729]

Why don't you have an aldebaren BFS?

[@BCSGFishing]

As great as the 2016 alde bfs is, I don't like the new look, abit too spaced aged for me. The 2012 and 2015 alde bfs's are both based on the same cosmetic platform as my 2009 alde mg, but the internals are very different and it was just easier and cheaper for me to get the 09 alde mg because I had all the spare parts already on hand.

[@stevenkurth3729]

Cool you have some nice reels I'm in Texas and am getting into BFS here, I'm using the aldebaren BFS an scorpion BFS fun to catch 5+lb bass on 6-8lb test!

[@BCSGFishing]

Oh I can only imagine! I would love to hook into some largies and smallies on BFS in the US if I get the chance sometime in the future!

[@stevenkurth3729]

I hope you get a chance Texas Florida an California are awesome for big BASS...
