2023 Shimano CONQUEST BFS... EXPOSED!!! Unboxing and Analysis

[@THEREELTEST]

This thing better blow me away in casting or it may be my last round BFS reel(unless its a DC of course)

[@BackWaterAnglers]

We need a DC BFS reel, we should petition shimano to come out with one! We've been waiting long enough!! 😂

[@markskibo5159]

Going too far !!! But then I remember gluing magnets to my garbage first gen Avet reels to no avail .@@BackWaterAnglers

[@markskibo5159]

Thanks so much, I just got mine from Japan, $369. I was in awe when I started playing with it an spooling it up. A reel up and above the norm. Your movie answered a lot of questions about it !!

[@Smolikrv]

I've bought Ald bfs 22, because of its weight. I own lots of light reels: Steez CT, Steez Air, Abu MGXtreme 2. Now Ald 22. I had always feeling the ultralight reel should be lightweight. But stiil had an interest about 23 CC bfs. Ordered one finally. Will see either I will love it or sell after first fishing

[@khangphantruong]

Why it so expensive ? And why this BFS is so heavy ? What a pros of this BFS ?

[@timb8970]

If you had to pick between the Conquest BFS and the Aldebaran bfs which would you pick and why? God bless you brother!

Hello friend and congratulations, beautiful comparison video for two beautiful BFS. Sorry if there may be some writing errors, I follow you from Italy. Congratulations also for your expertise, you can see that you put a lot of passion into it! Sorry I'm not so expert on BFS, I bought a '17 Calcutta Conquest BFS Hg left in Japan, for light bass and sea bream fishing, with rubbers and small hard baits. As I understand from your video, and hearing from a Japanese friend who owns both, the new model is slightly smaller with a slightly larger gear (Shimano's quirks, which has also accustomed us to fixed spools); the body is totally metal, compared to the internal cheeks of the old model right? Surely the new model has some important innovations, due to the smaller and lighter spool, which allows you to cast even 1g weight lures. But in terms of design I prefer the '17 Calcutta, due to the fascination with which I met them. I will certainly also buy the new model to combine with a Graphiteleader Nuovo Finezza Prototype s.t. Limited by 15g, and I hope I can leave you my impressions. Thank you so much again, obviously subscribed and I will follow you with great interest, keep it up!👋🏻👋🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘

I have been excited for this reel for a while. Ended up buying an Aldebaran instead of waiting. Still consider one of these, beautiful reel, but worry about the aluminum gears (my Aldebaran is rock solid so far though, using 7lb fluorocarbon and fishing more bass style BFS lures).

[@yep.fishing]

Apparently it has so much significance in the BFS world he had to tell us twice hehe

[@robertmceuen3630]

Get some calipers. If you can afford this reel, you can afford a pair of calipers. That way you can relay part size comparisons to the viewers.

[@overbuiltlimited]

And a box cutter...

[@Pigen-wx5zx]

Can you do a review on the bone voyage stream special bfs rod 😊

[@oslo7457]

Thanks for video, will you can compare with aldb22 casting perfomances too ?

[@judgetoogood1033]

Awesome review. What Conquest rod or brx+ rod would you recommend. Thanks.

[@troycote4503]

That's a good looking reel. Are the internals still the same? Love a review on the Bates .

[@fishonfishon7659]

Hello, where do you see a reel Abu Garcia Morrum zx3601 comparing to this 2 conquest? It's also for bfs fishing. Or you never had it in your hands? Thanks

[@sebastiang6410]

Finally, larger teeth. All of my micro module gears have lost their smooth sensation shortly after use.

[@timleng4404]

I guess I am not the only that experienced that with Shimano MM gears. Does the bearing contribute to that also?

[@HarryDK]

dont know if I should get this to upgrade my 17

[@judgetoogood1033]

What is the name and model number of yout scale and where can I buy one. Thank You……

[@kayakfishingforpredators9107]

Has some potential 😅😅❤❤

[@johnsenwong1546]

Where You buy that reel with free gift lure?

[@Q1Fishing]

Waiting for the Exesence DC and Antares MD review

[@soevasive]

Antares MD dc 23 is legit.

[@gerlor9425]

My OCD was activated when you ripped open the sides of the shipping box 😅 I was like "Just cut the tape" 😖

[@jahmalmorrison3366]

I love shimano reels but they’re making new reels with the same old body style very disappointing

[@eprohoda]

Woohoo,super! pro unboing~later-The~

[@aquaftm36]

I've got the 23, but not the 17. The thumb box (area to thumb the spool) in the 23 seems awfully small and deep. Does that area seem smaller in the 23 compared to the 17?

[@THEREELTEST]

yeah the new reels "thumb box" is noticeably smaller. Its going to be hard to pick out birds nests on this one lol

[@raymondjohnson6496]

tackle heaven is a high price for reels and they give you a bait it’s not free you pay for on the reel because I got one or two reels from them digitaka is cheaper than them people that’s where I buy my stuff from now on I can wait on them

[@THEREELTEST]

who said I got this from "tackle heaven"?

[@zubjr]

it says Japan, not made in Japan

[@moratheexplorer5791]

The problem is, this reel can’t cast far…

[@kabanchan5768]

Bait clicker?

[@alex111683]

I think this reel is honestly THE most overrated reel that has come out in most recent memory. It doesnt cast far, the aluminum will probably weear out faster than the 17. Alderberan is probably the best BFS reel still

[@P0MAPi0]

haibo air 50 must be longer)

[@MoSam-zf3yq]

The longest cast bfs reel 😍

[@THEREELTEST]

According to a Japanese youtuber, his Conquest didnt cast far?

[@216edwin]

Shimano tranx 400hg for the price is better

[@user-gd8jb6zp8b]

Reel for the rich 😭😭

[@Falconryful]

I am no fan of aluminum gears 🥲🥲🥲

[@jonliapis538]

‘Philosophers’ were vain and worthless? I guess the all knowing GOD of everything who we should bow down to who lets children starve to death is not? 😂 laughable.

[@opencontainer1381]

Every knee WILL bow, and every tongue WILL confess.

[@oxyuran5998]

🤔 Can't you guys get the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Mörrum in the US? That one is at least close to a BFS and a similar size to the Calcutta Conquest afaik.
