Always got good info on the gear you use

[@RXAngler]

Thank you my man! I appreciate you.

[@williamscarlton111]

Loving the info im getting from your channel. I recently received my 1st order from digitaka "Scorpion BFS" thanks to you. Gonna grab that Daiwa Alphas SV TW next. You can't beat there prices for JDM reels 😎

[@RXAngler]

My man! Thanks for the support. I’m glad you are liking the BFS reels. So much fun.

[@antareslonghorn6943]

In my local, alphas air vs abg deez8... What is your suggestion? Is deez8 as good as hype? Thanks

[@shtizen4371]

The aldebaran looks sweet on the old 18 suppressor ul rod! Their a super effective casting combo as well! I acquired aftermarket avail spools for both the aldebaran and conquest bfs reels. I was looking for more line capacity for 8 n 10 lb fc lines. The 2.9 mm depth doubles line i can have on spool while being lighter than stock. I have only tried the avail spool on my conquest bfs as of yet but was impressed with performance. The conquest was on the new dobyns bfs rod and even in gusty winds performed impressively. Good luck n have fun with the new gear. Looking forward to hear those clicky drags take off soon!

[@RXAngler]

Thanks buddy!

[@Benjamin-S]

You would probably be more interested in the Abu Garcia Revo ALC BF7. It has the lightest stock spool on the market without the bearings (6,02 g). It casts some increadibly light weights. Also, if you lift the reel seat in your Revo box, you might find that they put some extra stuff in your box. I got a bunch of extra stuff in my Revo ALC BF7 box, including a reel bag, different colour handle nut keepers and a tool to help me open my reel up. I own one and highly recommend it. You can find it for a cheap price on Amazon Japan. I also own the Aldebaran BFS (with 6.8:1 GR brass gears from a calcutta conquest bfs) and while the Aldebaran is overall more refined, I'm pretty sure the ALC BF7 can throw lighter stuff.

[@yep.fishing]

New sub, I fish the brackish water mostly too here in Australia :)

[@randyprovost8426]

Looking forward to seeing you setup and use the Abu, since it is more affordable.

[@RXAngler]

Thanks for watching!

[@garyspopusa8311]

Me too. Really interested in the Abu

[@bencassidy4118]

Hi mate love your vids and great info. On your recommendation I have used digitaka for a bfs scorpion and now the aphas air. They are very good and prices are excellent. Cheers from Austialia.

[@RXAngler]

Thanks buddy. Digitaka is my go to JDM reel store.

[@daviddura1172]

great video.....FYI ...there is a great video on KZbin, THE HISTORY OF AMBASSADOR ABU GARCIA, very interesting......still own an Ambassador 1973ish......its on a 1973 ish Lew's original black pistol grip speed stick rod.....love them both because my late father used them when we (my brother Paul, my Dad and I) would go fishing......

[@RXAngler]

Thanks David! I’ll check that out.

[@bfsjunkie6115]

Change out the worm bushing for a bearing way smoother.

[@clemgarcia9880]

what is best the line you recommend for the reel

[@sidewinder-nf9qm]

Do you still have that abu garcia, if so was it worth the money? Looking to get in the bfs game but not cool with spending $500

[@hookedonbarbecue]

Never though I would find a reel beating Lews Custom Lite in weight.

[@RXAngler]

Yo

[@CrazyCranker]

As much as you like finesse, I'm surprised you haven't tried the Daiwa 2020 Alphas Air. I have and it cast the lightweights incredibly far. It's my go to finesse setup.

[@Benjamin-S]

He showed off the Alphas Air TW in the video.

[@Czarlite]

Just bought the Aldebaran using your link. Was thinking about BFS reels. Thanks for the reviews!

[@RXAngler]

Thanks man! I think you will enjoy this reel. It’s super ultralight. Make sure you take care of it by just using a damp cloth to wipe it down, no direct spraying of water on it, and frequent oil.

[@Czarlite]

@@RXAngler glad you said something! I'm a neanderthal on reel maintenance. Can't wait to try it on trout and smallmouth around here!

[@creekredfishingmastery]

nick, you didnt show the drag clicker on the aldebarron!.. also mine is completely wrecked from the salt. most awesome reel ive owned. in fact, i got another from digitaka in december but it will never see salt!

[@RXAngler]

That’s a good point about the clicker. I hope your Aldebaran gets fixed. Thanks for watching.

[@Benjamin-S]

It has a magnesium frame which can't stand salt. It's covered with a thin layer of corrosion resistant colour, which makes it "saltwater fine," however, one scratch and you can say goodbye to the frame. It scratches fairly easy so I wouldn't use mine close to salt or brackish water.

[@ygryan2525]

How is the revo holding up? was planning on Getting one

[@RXAngler]

Good. I think it’s a great reel.

[@gulfmancardenas230]

Have you every tried the Penn bait casters yet ?

[@sswayyyy124]

Just order the penn fathom 300 let see how good it is

[@Benjamin-S]

@@sswayyyy124 It's a made from the Abu Garcia Revo Beast 40/41 frame. They're very alike. The reels are both made by korean OEM (original Equipment Manufacturer) Doyo.

[@mariosolis1802]

I have two Revo’s from back in the day. 12 yrs. and an Abu Orra 7.1. They were all less than 100 bux. Gotta get new ones. Any recommendations for reels under 100?

[@RXAngler]

Shimano SLX from Digitaka.com

[@RGCfishingg]

I want one so bad

[@RXAngler]

Your dad said he hates the sound lmfao

[@wangolek7752]

im buying metanium 2020,but its not fit with me and later sell it and pick aldebaran bfs..haha.may i know ci4 is using on overall body or only sideplate and star drag?

[@Benjamin-S]

The Aldebaran BFS has a magnesium frame and ci4 sideplates. It has a metal star drag.

[@gregoryburris6374]

I'm going to get BFS reel....which one I don't know

[@RXAngler]

Do it!

[@Benjamin-S]

A cheap and well preforming option is Abu Garcia Revo ALC BF7. It has the lightest stock spool on the market.

[@MountainManThan]

Scorpion, aldebaran or wait for curado? 🙈

[@bfsjunkie6115]

Alderberan

[@reysalinas5357]

Hey bro did you sell your auto pilot to Mark's son I don't see you use it anymore I watch all your videos I see Mark and his son have twin looking kayaks I was thinking maybe you sold yours to his son I love your videos keep putting good content I would love to fish with you one day but I know that would be almost impossible

[@RXAngler]

Thanks for watching my man.
