    Definitely the prettiest bait caster I’ve ever seen ! Couldn’t resist so I’ve ordered one 👍

    I matched mine to a Jackson Super Trickster, looks really nice. I just don't care much for the clicking drag noise. I've been throwing spinnerbaits with it mainly for the most part.

    Interesting reel.

    They made shallow spool for BFS trout, why not compare it with your Daiwa BFS air?

    I don't blame you for not wanting to fish with it! It's way to pretty of a reel! I'd like to see more Abu Garcia videos because I have quite a few revos myself! Nice vid dude!

    • @THEREELTEST
      @THEREELTEST  7 років тому +1

      Im definintely going to try one of the new STX or Premiers when they come out.

    hey quick question.. is your magbrake dial still working? mine got busted twice even after replacement..

  • @pingu.0211
    @pingu.0211 7 років тому

    Any plans for Lew's BB1, Tourney Pro, or even Speedspool LFS? Definitely want to see how Lew's offerings compare to the Shimano bombers. Definitely like to see how the LFS compares to the similarly priced Casitas/caenan.

    • @THEREELTEST

      keep your eyes peeled

    • @jimbo0411
      @jimbo0411 7 років тому +1

      get the new BB1 pro when it comes out that will be a good caster

  • @BENTASTIC217
    @BENTASTIC217 7 років тому +1

    Which will cast further a metanium mgl, shimano excense (old) or shimano Antares dc (old).

    hello! how do you think the Aurora is suitable for wobblers?

  • @RAHMX145

    Hey, I know there are a lot of reel cleaning videos on youtube but I would love to know how you take care of your reels. Thanks!

    • @THEREELTEST
      @THEREELTEST  7 років тому +1

      That is something that I know very little about, but check out the channel Tackle Advisors, he does some great detailed videos along those lines

    • @RAHMX145

  • @henrycarmona8519
    @henrycarmona8519 6 років тому

    By how many feet did it beat out the other reels? And is that difference worth the price?

    • @livinglife3230
      @livinglife3230 7 років тому +5

      Japanlureshop.com, no custom fees & i usually get my reels in 3 days. Cheap prices, ems tracking, never had one single issue ordering from them

  • @joey1142
    @joey1142 6 років тому

    are jdm reels really that much more superior like if i bought one reel and another in japan is it gonna be a huge diffrence ? same model obviously lol

  • @jimbo0411
    @jimbo0411 7 років тому +1

    It looks like the bearings in the Abu Aurora are different and have exposed balls. They look like a upgraded type bearing?

    • @THEREELTEST
      @THEREELTEST  7 років тому

      Yeah man, i went over it in the video lol. Open faced, and more than likely higher spec SS bearings.

    • @jimbo0411
      @jimbo0411 7 років тому

      oh sorry man, i had the volume low..haha. I will rewatch it. I am wondering if the new Curado K would have beat it at the quarter weight also? Seems to be on par with a Casitas MGL far as distance.

    • @THEREELTEST
      @THEREELTEST  7 років тому +2

      possibly, bigger spool and centrifugal brakes. I dont think the aurora was meant for long casting, but for finesse..

  • @willperryman4559
    @willperryman4559 6 років тому

    Do you save money ordering from Japan ? That Elite Aurora is Gorgeous , no doubt....

    • @THEREELTEST
      @THEREELTEST  6 років тому

      generally yes you save money but you dont get warrany support if you had an issue.

  • @Rascallucci
    @Rascallucci 7 років тому +1

    Oh my God!! I can't believe it!! This is the reel I have been wanting to get literally for years. The only reason why I still haven't bought it is the BFS shallow spool. BFS is just so far away from my style. Also, the handle is wayyyyy too short which can be fixed. However, I just have no idea where I can get a normal large capacity spool for this reel. If you have any info, please let me know. Cheers!

    • @THEREELTEST
      @THEREELTEST  7 років тому +3

      Yeah its a vary finesse oriented reel.. ZPI would be your best bet I think.

    • @Rascallucci
      @Rascallucci 7 років тому +1

      Thanks, man! They seem to have a HD spool that can house 70m of 20 lbs mono, that should be plenty for me. I normally use 30 lbs braid which has a diameter of 8 lbs mono. But, it is quite a lot once I add the cost of the spool to a 95mm or 100mm handle plus the original high price tag of the reel. Wowww. LOL.

    • @Andrink10
      @Andrink10 6 років тому

      This isn't actually a bait finesse reel, bait finesse is even shallower. We'd call this a shallow spool though. You can fit about 80 meters of 12lb fluoro on this. But we would throw 6-8 lb fluoro on a reel like this. If you want a medium to deep spool you could look for other reels from the Japanese Pure fishing website PUREFISHING.jp

    How many yards of 12 lb test does it hold

    • @Andrink10
      @Andrink10 6 років тому

      OG_CSPECK it holds 80 meters of 12lb fluoro

  • @treybrafford3493
    @treybrafford3493 7 років тому

    Do a Revo ALX those cast ridiculously far. they take some tuning but once they are dialed in its stupid!

  • @manifestgtr
    @manifestgtr 6 років тому

    I’d fish it.
    I’d fish it in the rain...for stripers...not even in brackish water. We’re talking full salt, “ouch, I got some in me eye”, cape cod canal with a tropical storm approaching and all the locals going “kid, ye fuckin crazy with that fairy wand. HEY BOBBY, you gotta get ova here and see this kid’s fuckin reel...oh shit! Is that a baby whaaaale? Call the aquarium, dude!”

  • @teodorolim2658

  • @bigbuba16

    if we wanted to send you a reel for you to do a review, would you consider it?

    • @THEREELTEST
      @THEREELTEST  7 років тому

      definitely, but it depends on the reel. I am going to try to set up a P.O. box soon for you guys to send me loaner reels.

    • @bigbuba16
      @bigbuba16 7 років тому +1

      i have a few Quantum's like the new smokes that i think you would be pretty impressed with

    • @THEREELTEST

      the ones revealed at this years ICAST?

    • @bigbuba16

  • @JuliusS2295
    @JuliusS2295 4 роки тому

    The wind noises are utterly annoying and make the whole video pretty unpleasant to watch.. maybe remove the background/wind noise on the "walking parts" completely and add some quietly music? Still a great video and thumbs up for the good content. Been a silent subscriber for some time so no hate here.. but i think you can improve your quality still a bit. Especially on the takes outside. Best regards

  • @seanobrien3273
    @seanobrien3273 7 років тому +3

    I have never liked that design of any of the Abu Garcia baitcasters, the high end ones 'body's just look cheap, I know they perform well, but you gotta like what you use

  • @stevenkurth3729

    • @JohnSmith-dt7gu
      @JohnSmith-dt7gu 7 років тому +2

      THE REEL TEST idk, it's too flashy. Shimano is more conservative and original with their design with a clean modern and that's what I like about Shimano, but this thing just looks like a freaking alien or something lol, but hey if that's what you like cool.

    • @cadenkea9605
      @cadenkea9605 6 років тому +1

      John Smith I’m a big 3 fan too ( abu, diawa, Shimano) but you can’t say the antares isn’t flashy lol

    • @crank_bait_jgfishing4616
      @crank_bait_jgfishing4616 6 років тому

      Most Abu reels are very common looking...its not like every Revo looks like this one.

  • @joshkroll5001
    @joshkroll5001 6 років тому

    I’m not gonna lie, I bought this reel just for the looks, and that it’s collectible. I’m not a fan of abu at all, I normally go for jdm Daiwa and shimano’s, especially limited edition reels. From the hype on this reel I was expecting a lot more even for abu Garcia... and I was extremely unimpressed. First of all, there’s like an oily residue on the reel, the cast control knob and some of the plastic parts on the reel feel extremely cheap, and the aurora finish has some blemishes bear areas where it transitions to other pieces. I can look past this.. but, it is very unimpressive to fish also, tuning it in to cast even 3/8 lures that are not aerodynamic in slightly windy conditions is a headache, and what in the world is up with the clicking drag... that drives me insane. Looks like it’ll be sitting on a shelf with all of my td-ito line reels high enough where no one can get a close look lol

    • @joshkroll5001
      @joshkroll5001 6 років тому

      Now that you’ve had the reel longer, I’d like to hear any new thoughts you have on it. Also, great review as always lol
