I don't know. I wasn't too keen on buying an expensive CDM reel. If it was half the price.. Sure... I would give it a shot. At that price.. Japanese reels all the way. Especially when Yen is down.

So, can an aftermarket drag clicker be installed in this new Daiwa BFS?
@rawrfishing4 ай бұрын
Sure! It's the same body as the alphas air tw. So you can technically buy the gekkabijin parts and put it in

It's essentially the rebranded alphas air tw. I honestly don't remember doing much casting of 0.5 grams in the past with the reel. It's not a weight I really use. The Ark Gravity bfs reel does it right out of the box, no upgrades!

People need to keep In mind... Pixy died already. End of story! This rebrand, whether you like it or not, it's here and could possibly be the spark to bring pixy back at different size spools! I am sure Effort were made that you are just not aware of! But while yen is down, do as you like! I urge folks to try JDM stuff all the time if they are global shoppers!

@@rawrfishing Effort was made in 2020 when they released alphas air tw. Don’t see much effort here, same reel brought to USA 4 years later. I’m glad they did don’t get me wrong but it’s hard to get excited about these “new” reels. They need to stop treating USA as afterthought when it comes to BFS and give us an actual new releases.

You can't blame a company for rebranding an existing successful reel to test the market in another country. This is their homework, so effort is being made elsewhere! Might be behind schedule of what we want it, but I am happy they are here and I'll do anything and everything to ensure it stay by growing it! This is the age of global market. I am okay for them not to bring over every new item over to the US. I can just buy it over seas while yen is down.
