Latest expedition for 2023. Extreme windy conditions, working several BFS lures on its heavier side, around 4-5g. Few catches, no trophy-worth one. Tested my CQ BFS on field for the first time. Very smooth and super caster. Yet, the side plate is not as tight as in the CQ 51/51S. Very cheap for a pricey reel. Pricey and cheap... A true modern Shimano reel.

Thanks, but the info isn't on par with your kind description. Just a first impressions thing.
