I have a 22 Aldeberan BFS on order from Japan. 

 

I normally use 15 lb, 4 lb diameter Power Pro original on most of of my BFS reels.

 

In regards to the 22 Aldeberan BFS, am I able to still use the same braid line I've been always used?  Or is there a braid line and line weight that would work better than what I am using for that reel?

When I was playing with BFS I liked 10# PP Super Slick. It's about .15 mm. It doesn't take much to clean those spools so 15 is pushing it.

I have liked FC better on this reel. I have been using 5lb Sunline Invisible.  It's really strong despite how thin it is.

I've been using 8lb original power pro on my BFS reels: Daiwa Alphas Air TW. Works like a dream.

I have 20lb pp v2 on a curado 71

I have 10lb pp v2 on a Alphas tw 800s

I have pe .8 diawa emeraldas on a Alphas air

 

I doubt this helps, just sharing.  My next line purchase will probably be pe 1 to cover both of my light throwing reels.

Thanks y'all! I went with Power Pro Super Slick 8 V2 in 10 lb, 2 lb diameter lime/aqua green color.

 

Broke in the new Aldeberan BFS reel this evening, mounted on my Phenix Classic BFS 6'8" rod.  The new Aldebaran BFS reel did a great job fighting and reeling in both bass. The drag clicker was singing away as line was pulled from those bass. I think I prefer having a drag clicker for BFS reels.

 

Caught a couple bass with a BPS The Egg, running just under the surface over grass.

 

The PP Super Slick 8 V2 line is wonderful! Very smooth and quiet through the guides and just as strong and no stretch as original PP. Very happy with my braid choice. 

 

I may get 12lb Sunline Siglon in orange sometime soon for backup.

I'm a straight braid fan for most of my fishing, but for BFS 4# YZH is how I roll.
