Megabass P5 Destroyer BFS

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.

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.

I use the triza aello paired with the 16 aldebaran bfs with 1/32 jigs and it cast fine. The siglett feels about the same. 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.

Nice shark. Nothing like that around my world.  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.

how does the aldebaran compare to the single str or the phenix or the dobyns ultra?

 

The Shimano Aldebaran BFS XG is a better casting reel than the other items mentioned.  ?
