Jeffrey Walker Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 anyone have any experience with the Megabass pop x stick and the siglett? both of these seem like they would be good for BFS but not sure how they compare Quote
Bucac Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 Received it about a month ago. Been waiting to get my hands on the new aldebaran bfs to pair with it. Feels like my triza aello but with a tad bit more power. Will be using it to cast roadrunner jigs and tube bait @ 1/32 for anything that bites. Quote

I have the new Aldebaran BFS and it's amazing at what it can throw but I would say a 1/32 oz lure would be too light. A 1/16 oz lure would be the lightest I would go. Also, I have not held the P5 Siglet but from what I have read a 1/32 oz would also be too light for this rod. At that weight you are in trout rod territory. Quote

Hoping upgraded bearings will help. My x7 super criffhanger is rated at 1/8 but im able to cast 1/16 with plastic just fine. 1 Quote

How do you like the trolling motor? I took mine out to today. Caught about 30 largemouth. One of the best days I have had in a long time. 2 Quote
Jeffrey Walker Posted July 5, 2022 Author Posted July 5, 2022 how does the aldebaran compare to the single str or the phenix or the dobyns ultra? Quote
