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

You are right! I didn't even think about the different braking system.

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!

It looks like its going to have a metal frame of some sort. My guess is magnesium since the weight is so low.

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?

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.

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.

Posted

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.......

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.

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.

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.

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
