Hopefully we'll get this last ice storm past us tonight and the rain tomorrow and tomorrow night will melt the remaining ice and snow. After that, the 10-day forecast looks pretty good !

 

I don't expect an ice-out on my lakes for a while though...

There's always the Caney Fork

If it's like the old model then it will feel smaller than a 50 size shimano. The side plate is flatter than other 50 size models making it even nicer to palm. At least for me. I haven't used a ton of different gear, but it's one of my favorite reels I've ever used.

I think you might be referring to the BFS XG bro.

I am. I guess I thought the new alde was a bfs model. My mistake.

I just ordered one from Japan, only $293 out the door.

This sounds like a most incredible deal to me.

Congrats on that one!

I wanted the high gear model...  a lot of you eager beavers beat me to the punch and they are sold out everywhere, so I got the regular. Ill just pick up the high gear later lol.

They actually came out with 2 Aldebarans this year, the BFS XG Limited with a super shallow spool. So you weren't mistaken.

Then the all new model that is not pure BFS

Roger that. I wasn't being accurate in saying the old model then. I have the bfs. But comparing the bfs to the newly released probably wasnt the best comparison.

has anybody thrown a line on one of these yet? i think they look great
