bootytrain Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I'm hoping the 32mm Yumeya Spool fits in the new Aldebaran. I'm gonna guess no since the braking system is going to be different. There might be a shallower spool option seeing as the released the Metanium with a shallow spool option immediately Quote

BigMoneyGrip Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 d**n, I thought I was through buying reels for at least 6 months. Quote

Super User tomustang Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 Hurry up with a 50i already Quote
bass1980 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Woot Woot, I can't leave the Shimano camp for Daiwa just yet. It's getting better and better. People said the reel was ugly.....I think it's bad ass! Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 20, 2015 Super User Posted January 20, 2015 Woot Woot, I can't leave the Shimano camp for Daiwa just yet. It's getting better and better. People said the reel was ugly.....I think it's bad ass! I love it's look as well, the spec's look good, still wandering if it's a magnesium or ci4+ frame.. Between this reel or the conquest I think this will be the first! Quote
bass1980 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I hope this is the exact color. Not feeling the lighter silver from the original picture. Quote

Between this reel or the conquest I think this will be the first! It looks like its going to have a metal frame of some sort. My guess is magnesium since the weight is so low. Quote
kschultz76 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Woot Woot, I can't leave the Shimano camp for Daiwa just yet. It's getting better and better. People said the reel was ugly.....I think it's bad ass! Liking that a lot more. That spool doesn't look as shallow either. This is going to make some hard decisions for me. Then again maybe I will just get one of these and a Metanium? Quote
kschultz76 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Oh and JapanTackle is taking preorders for $335 right now on the Aldeberan. Quote
JeziHogg Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Nice a tuned Aldebaran BFS, unfortunately it doesn't look like anything I couldnt do with Avail parts. Quote
JeziHogg Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 With the new 50 sized Aldebaran, thunk they'll come out with a new 50 sized Core? Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 With the new 50 sized Aldebaran, thunk they'll come out with a new 50 sized Core?Nope. I think the 50 sized Aldebaran is the new 50 sized Core. I think they just bring it over, same as the Antares and Metanium. Quote
JeziHogg Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Well they did it with the Aldebaran Mg7 and the Core Mg7 (same reels different colors) So it's a safe assumption. EIther way I'm getting like 5 of those 50 sized Aldebarans. Quote
bass1980 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 They're both the same reel except name and cosmetics. The core is just the US name. With shimano bringing over the Antares and Metanium I have a feeling they'll keep the name Aldebaran even for the US marker. Well I think....... Quote
bootytrain Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Core name might go away altogether. They are selling USDM reels in Japan now, first was the Chronarch Ci4, now the curado. Seems redundant since they have the scorpion. Quote
bass1980 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I prefer keeping the same name. The market that buys JDM gears over the US is so small anyways. Example buying a scorpion over a Curado. Very very little difference. I can see a reason for it if the JDM version had much more to their counter part. Quote
Cgrinder Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I guess I'm the minority but based on the photos, I'm not a fan. I guess it's new Conquests and old 51's for me. Quote
John G Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Are these coming out at the end of Feb or in March sometime? I agree, the Aldebaran looks bad ass except for the knob caps. Quote
bootytrain Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 The new Aldebaran is listed at TW. Feb 19. Quote
John G Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 The new Aldebaran is listed at TW. Feb 19. Thanks Screw that! Over $400.00 at TW and under $300.00 at Digitaka. I know where I will be buying mine. LOL 2 Quote
Pinoy_Basser Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 and it will be hard to detect by enemy radar Hmmm "Stealth Bob" I like it Quote
