Fantastic teardown Peter. It reminds why I try not to teardown my reels too much, I would forget where everything goes. This looks like a very impressive reel that Daiwa and Shimano should be worried about
Hey Frank! I believe in you! Just takes some repetition and you’ll have enough muscle memory to get through teardowns blindfolded! Seriously, though reels are so similar nowadays that it’s a fairly simple process. That being said, I totally get it if it’s not your thing but if you’re ever a bit adventurous then I highly suggest giving it a whirl! I will agree that the internals are well made and feel robust to me. I do wish that the main gear had a bit more in terms of the number of teeth but now I know why I was feeling a bit of geariness. The trade off is that the main gear looks to be quite robust. Anywho, thanks so much as always for leaving such kind words and cheers my friend!
@@MsTheSteffy hey emjay! Haha fair question! The reason why I wear gloves is to protect myself and my little one. I do a fair bit of tearing reels down and the greases and oils that typically come with these reels are hydrocarbon based. As such, there’s technically a bit of hazardous material there. I’d like to reduce as much of that going onto my skin and my little one’s skin as possible because a tiny amount will build up over time and it’s just another thing that I can do to make things safer for myself and them. I agree that it makes things much harder to do and you’ll notice that I drop things on occasion due to the “slipperiness” but that’s a small price to pay, imho. My work profession is actually in research and safety so using PPE isn’t a far stretch for me as well. Anywho, thanks so much for the question and I hope that helps explain things a bit better! Cheers my friend!
Hey Arne! That’s so awesome to hear! I am no expert by any means and what I’ve learned so far was through trial and error. I am extremely happy to hear that my videos are inspiring you to venture into teardowns and maintenance! Love to hear that my friend! Cheers!
Great video..nice build reel.. can't wait for english dc one..i think if spool diameter reduce..it get better control on super light lure like 1g n below..huhu
Hey syfa! Agree on all counts! If you’re interested in casting below 1g I suggest waiting a bit as there are whispers that they are working on a more 1g friendly bfs reel as well. Will try to get more info on that but look to sometime in 2024 if all things go well. Whether the reel is DC or not is also something that remains to be seen. Hope that helps and thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Cheers my friend!
Interesting looking reel. I'll probably have to pick one up at some point. And looking at their website, their version of the DC looks very intriguing.
Hey helo! Loongze should be releasing some different versions of these reels on different sizes soon so look out for those. In all likelihood I’ll be looking at the smaller 50 size that they will be introducing this year. Cheers my friend!
Hey andrei! If you are into DC tech stay tuned for that. Picked up their DC airlite and it basically uses the same reel body but has a DC capable spool and sideplate. I need to do quite a bit of testing but that reel, if the app does what it says it does, is going to be pretty amazing I think. The price is a bit more at $339… but again, if the app does what it claims to do, then there are pretty darn cool features. Videos coming soon! Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL I am not into DC and I am not sure about their app either. But the problem is this reel is made by Bates Fishing Co. as far as I can understand. So, just like Haibo made the Arise Air while also working on the Ark Gravity, what if Bates will release the real deal later? A more fine tuned version. This is what holds me right now. This is a waiting game haha. What do you think?
@@andreiiancu5144 hey andrei! That’s a great question. Actually, my guess is that loongze makes reels for bates to their specifications. Also, from my understanding, Loongze will start selling reels in the US soon as evidenced by their website loongzedishingusa.com. So… I don’t think you have too much to worry about. I know that Loongze also has a 1 year parts and labor warranty which I don’t have too many details on but I am more than happy to look into that. I don’t know what exact products are in loongze’s pipeline but I believe, this is unconfirmed, that they do have plans to release a smaller diameter BFS reel. I don’t have details on that but as I think the airlite is more a finesse style reel and geared towards the 3-8g(and maybe higher I have yet to test higher than 8g). While it can do 1g it doesn’t quite excel at it due to the large spool diameter. Anywho, hope that helps! Cheers my friend!
@@andreiiancu5144 hey andrei! Yea I’ve actually felt like this is the case for quite a while. 2024 has some really exciting things coming aside from all of this loongze/bates stuff as well. That being said, I am excited to see the loongze dc app translated to English finally as I’ve written a small guide for it to describe all the settings and what they do. If the app and reel work as intended it’s going to be pretty awesome I think. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
Hey doc! That’s awesome to hear! I’d say it’s a pretty great reel but wow those handle knobs need to be swapped if you’re fishing in the cold haha. Our temps have dropped into the 50s during the day and I was very glad I had swapped the knobs on mine to daiwa knobs. I’m also curious to cover the side plate now as well haha 😆. Anywho, thanks so much as always for sharing and cheers my friend!
Good teardown thanks, does the pinion yoke have a metal plate or it is just full plastic? Without a metal plate the plastic yoke where the pinion gear sits in the cut out will eventually wear down especially in gritty or SW conditions.
Hey Nigel! If memory serves, the yokes does have a metal plate where the pinion sits. I can double check when I get back to my work bench but I rewatched the teardown and I could barely see a small metal plate as well as vaguely remember one. I will double check on that though! Great request and I’m not sure why I overlooked mentioning that as it’s a great addition to have imho. Cheers my friend!
Hey kelvin! Haha ty kind sir! I hope one day you’ll decide to also cross over into doing these types of reviews as well. You gotta show us your carp catching sessions somehow.. and it’s always awesome to have more unbiased, non-sponsored, non-advertising folks reviewing products for the good people. Thanks again for stopping by and cheers mate!!
Hey larsey! That’s a great question that I’d be more than happy to answer! I typically don’t take spool width measurements as that is something that is so variable amongst manufacturers as well as whether they actually use that spool width or not with line lay. However, I am more than happy to measure and provide that information however it might have to wait a couple days as I am not near my workbench =\. Don’t worry thought I’ll get that measurement for you! Cheers my friend!
Hey fishingelbow! I think it’s mainly because I review a lot of lower priced budget CDM reels and then higher tier jdm reels and what I see in this reel is a far departure from those budget CDM reels. It’s very cool to see the CDM step up and start showing us better quality products and hopefully continue to drive performance higher! Although… we see great performing reels nowadays even in the budget CDM reels. While I am very impressed with the build quality of this I’m a bit less enthused about the price but when you compare it to the likes of other fully CNCd reels you start to see where they’re trying to position themselves. PS look in the video description 👍. Cheers my friend and happy holidays to you!!!
Hey David! Haha yea the reel isn’t a simple reel but it is extremely well made! A huge plus in my book =). Thanks for stopping by and cheers my friend!
Hey Chris! Thanks for the kind words! The reel is pretty impressive internally and isn’t surprising as loongze and bates are partners. Bates quality = loongze quality. Not info that is commonly known but is a fact! Anywho, thanks so much for stopping by and cheers my friend!
good sir you seem to know your stuff do you know if AMBASSADEUR 5001C uses 3mm x 10mm x 4m bearing i am trying to convert it into bfs reel but i have no idea how to measure the bearings
Hey kaban! Sorry for the late response but unfortunately I am not sure of the bearing size of the 5001C. You can find out bearing sizes by measuring the outer inner diameter, outer diameter and the width of the bearing. Different manufacturers will orient the measurements a bit differently oddly. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
Hey illini! Just measure and the handle size opening is the 5mmx8mm size. I will say though that the handle itself is made very well. I would suggest just looking to swap the knobs out but it’s entirely your call. Cheers my friend’
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL I like the handle a lot, but I have another reel I might try to move it to. They are all interchangeable parts to me in the end. I'm also curious if any Daiwa spools fit this reel. I'll find out soon enough I guess.
@@IlliniDog01 hey illini! I kind of doubt that daiwa spools will fit as the widths might be different as well as spool shaft dimensions. Worth a shot though? I do agree that handles and knobs are interchangeable. I swapped over some daiwa TPR handle knobs onto my loongze and was thankful that I had done so as the weathers been colder than usual in Southern California. Alloy reels and cold weather really don’t mix lol. Cheers my friend!
@@adriengervasoni9735 hey Adrien! I’m guessing you are asking about the circlip tool I was using? If so, the name is “Dynamite Ultimate E-Clip Tool 1.5MM-5MM DYNT1107”. Hope that helps! Cheers my friend!
Hey Benjamin! Yep! You’d be surprised at how many reels do this out of the box nowadays. The pinion in the airlite and the dc airlite are supported by two bearings. The pinion yoke also has a tiny metal plate to help with wear. Hope that helps, happy new year and cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL It helps a lot in fact. That is one of those designs I really look for in a reel. Makes the reel last and feel new way longer. I would be very willing to give Loongze a chance actually. This is the most exciting Chinese reel ever made in my opinion.
@Benjamin-S hey Benjamin! Yea after tearing the reel down I was really impressed with the build quality that I saw. The gear meshing isn’t 100% perfect but I think that that’s something that will eventually improve and hopefully they’ll have something like digigear/micromodule at some point in the future. I have a few other gripes but overall I think the reel is pretty amazing for a first product for a new CDM brand. Their DC reel is also an eye opener imho. Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts and insights and cheers my friend!
@@Benjamin-S with the Shimano MicroModule gears, the pinion has to ride on 2 bearings simply because there is no tolerance for and flex with the gear mesh since the teeth are so small. With other reels, it helps keep them from "locking" under load when the long spool shaft that goes through the pinion on those designs flexes when the gear train is loaded. In the case of this reel, and all other short shaft spool reels, the pinion has to ride on two bearing, otherwise one end would be completely unsupported.
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL I hope they don't try to emulate the MicroModule. Small pitch gears have a place in high speed applications as they are technically smoother and more efficient, but that comes at the cost of strength and mesh sensitivity. A fishing reel doesn't approach the speeds where this tradeoff makes any kind of sense. It doesn't make the reel any smoother as Diawa has proven that you can make a silky smooth reel with "normal" gear pitches as long as you cut the gears well.
Hey dbb! Hm I’m not sure I understand the issue you’re having maybe. Any chance you can try to explain what problem you’re having again? Cheers my friend!
@@dbbfishing2528 hey dbb! Ah you’re referring to the brake side plate? I thought you were talking about the main gear sideplate. Yes, the brake sideplate is a threaded design and is screw on. I wonder if yours might have been cross threaded by accident or if it’s just on there extremely tight… Where did you get your airlite from ooc? Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL I’ve reached out to them and told them the problem they asked where did I get it and I said in the email from you and gave the order number and they still asked where did I get it from!
Hey bfs! Wow sorry about that. Appears that the USA website doesn’t have a www part to it oddly… I’ve updated the web address and it should work now but you won’t be able to purchase one from that site yet.

Hey yep! Haha I think it actually fits a lot of different uses which is why it’s so dangerous lol… The DC has even more potential to cover a wider lure weight range and be a really potent tool. Super excited to flesh out and get into all the settings especially after helping to translate and explain all of the terms. Cheers my friend!
@@yep.fishing hey yep! Yep totally! I have some interest to see how the reel performs in the surf actually… it’s only rated to 10g but I feel like it’ll go a bit higher. I had it on the elf recently and a 5.8g minijigpara spoon felt like it was going at least 80-100ft which is pretty phenomenal. Maybe a trip to the beach is in order… haha 😅. Cheers my friend!
