Unboxing Daiwa PX BF TW 70 BFS Reel - Amazing Ultralight Baitcaster

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

I love how these top brands are dedicating BFS these days and you my friend are at it's core! THANK YOU Jimbo!

[@rawrfishing]

You bet! If anything they just need a bigger spool finesse reel like the alphas SV tw 800s and the US is complete

[@deever99]

Amazing video and amazing energy as always . I preciate everything you do for the bfs community Jimbo🙏

[@rawrfishing]

Thx mate! Gonna make bfs super big In the US!

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

What’s up jimbo dope real I need one 😂. As always Daiwa is king 👑

[@rawrfishing]

Daiwa is truly king! My fav

[@joepicasso69]

So, can an aftermarket drag clicker be installed in this new Daiwa BFS?

[@rawrfishing]

Sure! It's the same body as the alphas air tw. So you can technically buy the gekkabijin parts and put it in

[@denniswillems6083]

Nice unboxing 😁

[@rawrfishing]

Thank you 🤗

[@pacman_17]

Hopefully you're doing ok in NJ. I just heard about the earthquake.

[@rawrfishing]

Felt nothing on the first floor. Wife got startled up stairs lol. Nothing big! :p

[@rougaroux2359]

Jimbo pal I can’t wait to see the cast testing video. I wanted to buy the Alphas Air but was not able to get it. Jimbo you already know what I’m gonna tell you. Keep those lines tight and those lips sore.

[@rawrfishing]

I can't wait for one too. When I first started... My cast testing sessions were trial and error. I now have a process and it can made consistent for all my tests and will yield better results :)

[@rougaroux2359]

@@rawrfishing I will tell you a good one on me. I was thinking ok I will buy a Gomexus handle for my Gekkibijin and trick it out a little. I soon found out really fast that Diawa makes these reels perfect out of the box.

[@rawrfishing]

@@rougaroux2359 honestly, the gekka and alphas air fit my fishing needs out of the box. Roro spool and bearing can make it better for some of my super UL stuff.. But I rarely go that low.

[@DongJooLee-yt6hq]

Do you think this can cast 0.5g lure? If so what setup would you use?

[@rawrfishing]

Not out of the box well. Full cast resting video available for your viewing on the channel 👍

[@DongJooLee-yt6hq]

@@rawrfishing Thanks for that bro. What adjustments (e.g. Roro Spool) would make it viable for fly fishing (0.5g total lure weight)? Your help is much appreciated.

[@rawrfishing]

I have not tried any upgrades to this reel, but I would think that the Roro spool could do it with the upgraded bearings.

[@DongJooLee-yt6hq]

@@rawrfishing Thanks bro

[@rawrfishing]

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!

[@Demolitiondude]

The only thing I don't like about baitcasters is the silent drag.

[@fragment7]

My baitcaster has a click drag..

[@rawrfishing]

Some got em. Some don't! But there's always aftermarket kits you can throw on or just buy one that comes with it ;)

[@gonkurapikafishing]

I added a clicker drag to my tatula sv. I have a clicker drag ready for my curado DC. I need that clicker drag! Lol

[@rawrfishing]

Lol! Nice to have at times!

[@bass-a-roo]

This vs 23 SS Air TW for light lure capability?

[@rawrfishing]

I don't know anything about that reel. But I have shared in this video of which reels it's based from, potentially you can find someone who got the ss air tw that can compare to say the alphas air tw?

[@bass-a-roo]

@@rawrfishing Yes, I actually own it, but I haven’t gotten out. Busy with school 😭👍🏽

[@bass-a-roo]

(I want to sell it though)

[@rawrfishing]

the SS air? why? is it not good?

[@bass-a-roo]

@@rawrfishing Yes, the SS air. Mainly because it’s not very great for stream fishing. Mostly a bass bfs reel (good for skipping and whatnot). I want to sell it and put the money towards a better stream reel.

[@Smith944]

Dude, the price.

[@rawrfishing]

What about it?

[@SimanggangStreetFishingChannel]

What???same with daiwa Alphas air tw 😅😅

[@rawrfishing]

Not uncommon to rebrand reels for another country. not sure if this was their best rename choice. But it's an amazing reel and I am happy to see that folks in the US can now enjoy the amazing bfs reel from Daiwa. One of my fav

[@mikebor11]

No effort from Daiwa…..weren’t all previous pixy’s magnesium framed reels with nice color schemes…just buy alphas from overseas and save bunch of money

[@rawrfishing]

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! For me, I'm going to stay positive here and give Daiwa USA love and show that we want more! Tight lines

[@mikebor11]

@@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.

[@rawrfishing]

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.

[@SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Imagine releasing a pixy that looks generic af. How stupid.

[@rawrfishing]

Rebranding for a different country is something Japanese done for a longtime. No matter what you say, bfs is here! We should embrace it!

[@SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

@@rawrfishing A pixy type r was already released for the US market, and it didn't look as generic as this one. The current one is just laziness.

[@rawrfishing]

@Factual-Opinions a sunset product doesn't count in my opinion. I would say px was a wrong choice for em to use it for a rebrand. But w.e... It's here. I worked hard to build the scene... I will roll out the red carpets for em. Tight lines

[@eckharttolle-nq7qu]

❤ Im going to buy your handle so I could be a influencer.
