Dwight not sure yet been a little busy, heck I still need to get one for Stella 3000HG ......

Goose I am with you on the Conquest HG they will be next......

I am curious, is this how you feel in general about things in life that technology continues to improve or is this just an attitude regarding people who own Shimano products on this forum. I am whole heartedly trying to understand your two posts one that says you may enjoy the way things once were and the other an outright assault on Shimano consumers. I can certainly understand if you are one who does not welcome changes in life but why the tude regarding your words "Shimano Worshippers".

As you guys know I like my 50 size reels in the "round" however I decided to give it a go and dive into the LP arena. One factor that caught my eye on the new Aldebaran 50 is the SilentTune feature something that will not be available on the new BFS LTD model and of course the HG option. So here are a few pic's of the Aldebaran 50HG.......

Like anything else the real popular colors go first and fast so you need to check back and buy when you see them listed. However you can also e-mail them to inquire about specifics you may have as well.

I would suggest you put the items you want into the cart then check what the shipping charges will be . Then you will be able to decide whether shipping is expensive or not......

You boys need to shop around ......https://japanlureshop.com/bass-lure/deps.html?limit=all

I would suggest a Conquest 300......

G, Thanks for your review on the new Met DC. I for one was waiting to see what this reel would produce in the distance category and came up somewhat disheartened. Since I am a DC fan owning the Calais DC 4X8,Calcutta DC,Conquest DC+ and Conquest IDC4, I was hoping the new Met DC would perform it that category. When you take into consideration the spool rpm's alone that are created by a DC equipped reel it sort of contradicts the purpose of it. Why rev it up just to shut it down and not use it to the fullest potential that it creates . Now I realize there is a market out there for users other than just distance but to some degree you would think by now they could have improved upon their best performer which was born in 2006 the 4X8. This is not to say I do not enjoy using the other models I own however I for one was once again hoping to see a different result.

The box showed up today , will post some pics and more info later....

Not sure because I never weighed it. What I can tell you is I have two one mounted with a Calais 200 DC and the other with an Antares HG. Being a 5'10" rod you can make that short targeted cast or launch it into that spot that needs to be approached far beyond your target. You will also find it has plenty of backbone to lock up when you make contact with that larger fish. Whether you wrist roll or pull the rod when using a popper it is right there to respond not to mention how it handles using walking baits. Just a sweet little rod if you are into TopWater....

One to consider SMR 702C-TW........http://www.gloomis.com/publish/content/gloomis_2010/us/en/conventional/rods/smallmouth_rods/bronzeback_series.html

Not sure why the link on the original post did not work however we are looking at a 3.74" bait weighing in at 1-5/8oz......I will post more once I get them in my hands....

Goose in response to your question.....While the sideplate is off you can see the I-DC5 control module. I haven't a clue as to how to service the spool bearing that is under the module (remove the three screws perhaps) That is what I do with my I-DC4 reels.
