Super User buzzed bait Posted December 30, 2016 Super User Posted December 30, 2016 saw a picture of that yesterday and it looks sweet! Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted December 30, 2016 Super User Posted December 30, 2016 Looks like my bank balance might drop a bit in May... Here's the specs: It is interesting though that the advertising copy on the JDM Shimano web site says the 'first BFS round reel" - did they already forget about the discontinued Cardiff 50/51S DC and the Conquest (2000) 50/51 Shallow Special ?

Maico1 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 It will be fun to compare this to the existing collection.... Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted December 30, 2016 Super User Posted December 30, 2016 "Sensual winding with smoothness added to the rigidity sense." Well that bit of ad copy sold me, time to start saving up my yen! For real though, if it really works for super light lures and is saltwater rated, it looks perfect for the brackish/salt water combo I have been wanting. The RH model isnt available until May, so there will be a few months for all you wrong-handed jerks to give it a good testing for us correct-handed folks. 1 Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted December 30, 2016 Super User Posted December 30, 2016 42mm handle?? That can't be right! Must be only half. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted December 30, 2016 Super User Posted December 30, 2016 1 hour ago, Jeff H said: 42mm handle?? That can't be right! Must be only half. Yep. For some reason, Shimano Japan likes to specify the radius of the handle (from center of the driveshaft hole to center of the knob shaft) instead of the overall length (center-to-center on the knob shafts).

byram bassturd Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Guessing it's the same size as the 101HG. Would love a 51HG BFS... Quote

Super User fishballer06 Posted January 6, 2017 Super User Posted January 6, 2017 You're about a month behind the 8 ball.

Super User new2BC4bass Posted February 8, 2017 Super User Posted February 8, 2017 Looks like if I want to use a round reel for finesse I will have to stick with my Black Max 1600C as I know Shimano will be charging more than I can pay. 1 Quote

Or you can get a 1500-2500C and trick it out. I'm going to build a couple more 1500C's and a 2500C all with IAR since I was able to find brake plates. Quote

Maico1 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Jun's comment: This BFS has its body from Conquest 100, and spools and brake systems is from 16Aldebaran BFS, to make a solid ultra finesse bait caster. Spool is smaller than that of Conquest 100 reels. As to size this what Jun at Japan Tackle had to say....... Quote
Maico1 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Posted May 30, 2017 Finally the "Right Hand " showed up today , the Conquest BFS HG that is....... Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted May 31, 2017 Super User Posted May 31, 2017 I preordered one but am super on the fence about actualy buying one. I have never ussd a round reel before and am suddenly worried that i will hate the ergonomics of it. Quote

I have a 200 size Calcutta D that palms like a 100 and I love fishing it. With the BFS being smaller in general I doubt you'll have a problem with it. Quote
