- I try to save the Haibo Steed by using a magnet kit that was designed to change the centrifugal brake Steed into a magnetic brake one. Does it work?

Just curious, who actually has a Steed and how has it performed for you?
I have one and agree about it’s performance. I was about to buy a GH100, but I am going to wait to hear about how it holds up to use.
Ive been fishing with the GH100 pretty frequently and have only caught small fish but so far its great.
I have a white steed with centrifugal system and it work fine.... I Can launch very well 2.5 gr and i think it's good perform for this reel who have a 11.5gr spool weight.
Cause it's centrifugal (i think), it's hard to control the Backlash if cast under the 2.5gr weight. (Cast 2gr is possible, but with very short distance....10 meters or something like that.
Hey, you may want to pop open your GH-100. Both my reels had drags that were too stiff and pretty much sucked. I discovered the reel was full grease but the main gear and drive gear were dry as a bone. I used compressed air, blew out all the bearing, and greased the gears. I put a light coat of grease on both drag washers this made the drag smooth as silk. If your drag is stiff, you likely have the same issues I found. Heads Up good Buddy.
i bought one of the newer model pflueger trions and it had the same exact weak magnets problem as the steed, so i returned it, now i am paranoid about buying any more magnetic reels. i did however buy a fishband 100 after i saw you test the magnets and am happy with it. i also recently purchased a couple slx reels and like'em
As I stated in the comments on the previous video, the GH-100 will be my first BFS reel to start with, based on your reel reviews of all 3. Thanks for sharing the test results and saving me some money $$$ to put toward a Shimano DC reel in the future...
I bought that rod after you made a video about it...all I can say is wow. Best looking and performing rod for the money ive ever seen
its definitely been the best BFS rod ive bought for the money
Thanks. For the help. I did order the haibo stead and it looks nice .and thanks for the help with the extra magnets tooo. I paired mine up with the Kinyon Teton casting. Five foot two Man, this thing is super light. I cannot wait to use it for trout this year.
I already tried the same magnetic brake kit including Micro Ball Hybrid bearings. What a difference!
Those magnets definitely tamed mine as well in practice. I've got some other various magnet sizes coming to expirament some more but it is very usable. I now have all three of the budget reels in this video haha. Still haven't gotten to fish them much. I like the gh100 best from the practice sessions. The other two are probably a tie. The haibo feels better in hand and feels more solid but mine has an odd squeak when realing it. The xf-50 functions nicely and works great. With less line in the spool it does pretty well. I'm tinkering with it and some ceramic bearings. It does feel cheaper and plasticky but not aweful. All three are solid reels on a budget 👍.
All 3 reels still cost well under 1 Scorpion BFS lol. I would love this Steed if my thumb bar wasnt shit.
Maybe a shim on the factory magnet.
@the reel test, what you’re seeing is probably the effects of manufacturing tolerances. Measure the thickness of the magnet kit you bought (with and without spacer) vs stock. I’m willing to bet it sits much closer to the spool than the stock set up (and by much I mean at least around 0.010”)
Great video! I didn't have as much luck with the upgrade kit but it did still preform a little better. Maybe I should take it out again and try again fresh. I am still waiting for my gh100 to arrive so the xf50, Mr Charles (also with upgraded magnets ), and kingdom speed pro have been my bfs trout fishing reels. If I can get the steed working a little better it could bump the mr. Charles in the rotation, I like the other reels and think I will love the gh100
Is that kingdom the “micro” speed pro? If so how do you like it? Ive seen it on Ali and been very curious.
Depending on what oil you are using for the bearings on Steed you might be able to use a slightly thicker oil to slow the spool down a little bit and make it more controllable.
That's what I did with my Daiwa T3 and it went from constant terrible backlashes to pretty easily controllable. Great advice!
Did you add the extra white space
Hi, friend. It is fashionable to buy 5mm ×2mm neodymium magnets and replace the stock ones with new ones. The magnets are not glued and are held in place by magnetic force; there is a steel plate inside the lid. But it’s tedious to observe polarity and experiment with placement. Casting becomes predictable and less nervous. There is a Russian-language channel, where a person tested and told everything from his own experience.
Can you do a review on the Lews mb?
Maybe the lure weight limit of steed is belom 3 grams. Same as my case in my magnetic brake reel, i just add some magnet above of them or change them with the thick one. So i can cast more heavier lures with magnetic brake not fully up.
What about to test the new haibo bfs reel - Haibo Mirage 50/51?
Do you think that you will make a video on the newest Shimano Bass Rise? I remember the spool being very light on that reel. Makes me curious about how it will cast.
Ive already made one and I plan on making a video with it and a budget rod
THE REEL TEST thank you for the reply
Haven’t seen this video yet, but I have been waiting for the verdict.... Let’s see....
Good video; I’ll pass on the Haibo Steed. Based on your recommendations, I own the Tsurinoya XF-50 and the GH-100 and am very satisfied with their performance... Now, I have to save a few dollars to complete my switch from Abu to Shimano... up next Aldebaran 50
??? Did you try the original magnet set with only the spacer since you felt the factory magnets were possibly stronger.
to bring a closer magnetic tolerance with the spool… ? Just a thought after following your testing and adjustments…
Just a thought... you should try adding some hedgehog studio bearings in the gh100 to see if you can make it even a tad bit closer to the upgraded aldebaran bfs with the upgraded spool and bearings. It would be cool to see how far you can push it in the sense of how light of a lure it can cast
because im not buying $40 bearings for a $60 reel
considering the ftb system was copied almost exactly there might be a possibility the bearing sizes might be the same in both reels.
Hello, very informative video. where can I buy this reel? Are magnets included?👍
Hello, can you tell us the size of the magnet?
where can someone get a extra spool for these reel @ a Good Price ?
Hi, do you think the magnetic system are better than the original centrifugal system on the white Steed?
I put a micro bfs bearing on mine but i can't launch under 2.5gr with no Backlash ...
2.5 grams on the red steed or white? I have a video coming up on centrifugal vs magnetic in the future :)
@@THEREELTEST on the white steed
I’m wondering how you throw 1.7 gram baits since I can’t get anything less than 5 grams? In addition, I added the remaining 6 magnets weighing 2.5 grams each. what did you do?
I own a Steed and hAd the same issues with over runs. I was curious added the extra magnets. No change,
no way that should have worked. Well I checked the magnet side of the spool. guess what it is not magnetic. It is aluminum. Lol joke on us. I glued a super thin tin washer. Problem solved. What a difference.
I must say congratulations on getting the dreaded Haibo Steed running like an economical Swiss watch. You called it many different names and now you may want to retract a few of them. One tiny adjustment you might try to further improve the braking that worked for me on one of my nemesis reels, I paid under $30 dollars for with no brand and God only knows who made that thing. I improve the brake power by turning out the two screws holding the magnetic disk. This moved the magnets closer to the spool and increased braking power. It only took less than ¾ of a turn to get the brakes working properly.
My question is why do you enjoy bitch slapping the Tusrinoya XF-50? It is what it is heavy spool and all. You would think it said Daiwa on the side. By the way, I got two GH-100 reels and one of them had a slight defect. The brake drum assembly fell off inside the spool on setting five. It seems some genius hid the defect with a dab of super glue. However, the seller is sending me another assembly for a penny. If you happen to look at the parts schematic, you will see a reel that has a parts list that is clearly for the wrong dam reel. When this happen I was not a happy camper. Now it makes me laugh. The XF-50 is still the coolest looking reel for $46 bucks and that makes it perfect. If Tusrinoya or someone makes a lighter aftermarket spool then you may be eating a little crow for dinner.
You Love Shimano reels but do you know this.
LEW’S BB-1 SPEED SPOOL designed by Lewis Childre 1973 first casting reel made by Shimano. LEW’S SPEED STICK one of the First graphite rods 1970, LEW’S V-SPOOL, LEW’S HIGH SPEED RETRIVE, LEW;S TEARDROP DESIGN REEL. Without this guy, Shimano would not be one of the leading reel companies of today. Finally yet importantly LEW’S BB-XLM first ultralight Baitcasting reels. Do not think that for one minute the Japanese made the first casting reel. They are copycats just like all the others. Someone invented the wheel and it keeps going around and around.
Historically Chinese paintings and records begin about 1195 AD. England 1650 AD, by the 1760 London tackle shops advertised multiplying retrieving reels. USA: Kentucky reels, Snyder and Meek reels, William Shakespeare, Jr created a level wind on a jeweler’s lathe and obtained a patent in 1896. 1907 Walter Marhoff improved the design and set the foundation of level-wind reels for years. Shakespeare added the Marhoff brand to its line. Pflueger Supreme, Vom Hofe and small custom models abounded thru 1870 to 1920. Sometimes you need look back before going forward. DING-POW! You know if I didn’t like you so much I would never tell you Poop.
Can you tell me if you can remove the magnets? The one that is attached bought for $8, did you install the white one? Or did you top mount both?

So I bought gh150 wrong one suppose to be gh100 I was wondering would this kit fit that reel? I want to at least try to make the gh150 semi bfs reel even though it’s not. What do I type to search for these breaks on the website?
best thing to do is just fill the line up with 30 yards of line or buy the GH100
@@THEREELTEST ok i will try that but do you think the kit will fit the gh150 because i actually put 4lb line on to the reel about 70% of the way and it still fluffed up really bad with breaks all the way up. I too think the gh150 has bad breaks if this kit gives me a edge on trying to make gh150 a semi bfs i will be ok with it. Can you help me find out if this kit fits gh150?
I have the second steed ms already. installed extra magnets which I got from a friend of mine. you need to know that you shouldn't add the cheap magnets that come with the real. buy better ones from a stronger charge and install them. honestly, my steed casts further that my cc bfs.
btw had the xf50 also, sold it. too heavy and too much handleplay. bought the gh100 from Ali 3 weeks ago after I saw your video. also sold it, feels like a cheap plastic reel and is way to big for a bfs reel. my gh100 also made a weird noise in the freespin, maybe got a bad one and was just unlucky.
Heard anything about a new citica for 2019 or 2020?
Shimano has been tight lipped on ICAST releases so far
Hey man I know you usually buy all your JDM Shimano reels from Japanlureshop but have you had good experiences buying JDM reels from Japan on Ebay?
Alot of Japanese shops actually sell on Ebay too. Just research the reviews
Thanks man. One more quick question, if you had to choose between the Curado DC and the Scorpion MGL, which one are you buying?
If Im spending Curado DC type money, Ill pass on both and get the Scorpion DC ALL DAY LONG
1st!! Great Video!! This is THE channel for "reel" reviews.....see what I did there?
So clever lol
How about the stock magnets and the distance piece from the replacement kit? You did observe that the replacement magnets seemed to stick out further. If what you felt about the strength of the magnets is right it might just be a distance problem that can be solved by the shim. (Wrote this before you said that you forget the original magnets by the pond)
The shim was about as thick as the magnet ring so it would have been like just sticking one magnet ring on top of the other like I demonstrated in the 1st part. If you get a steed with a solid thumb bar then this mag kit is well worth the $9
This reel has a very weak drag. main gear is also weak.so overall torque is bad. the feeling of rotation is not smooth and rough.
Зачем? В STEED и без того мощные тормоза. Не вижу необходимости.
ему косячный экземпляр достался походу. на кнопку вон жалуется в конце.
test seaknight falcon reel
seaknight offered one up to me. maybe Ill test it but my time is limited
owhh....ok...!!thanks 4 respon sir....!!!

no I have a real job

PLEASE BUY A QUANTUM SMOKE
please buy me a quantum smoke S3 and S3 Tour.. oh and an Accurist in white :)
@THEREELTEST wish I had that kind of money to spend
CharlieDompierreFishing me too
THE REEL TEST have you ever seen the zebco team kvd? It used to be quantum but zebco bought it out. I’ve had my kvd 200 forever and it’s awesome
If you like BFS knock yourself out, the only thing i have to say is you test way more bfs for the in relation to the percentage of people you are interested in it ,which is not very high.
well thats a totally wrong statement. look how many views the bfs vids get. i have been wishing for a lower cost bfs reel for many many years.
Your public school education has failed you
What is the obsession with BFS? Just use a damn spinning reel. You can use a medium heavy rod and still cast a light lure a good ways and accurately. I know its primarily used for accuracy in bass fishing but if you practice enough you can be very accurate with a spinning rod.
why use artificial lures when live bait works best? its called preference
Lol I guess.
But i think spinning reel very hard to cast below 3 grams lure because spinning reel's cast depend to the line and the weight of the lure. But if using UL lure, i think that medium rod won't make you cast accurate and more than 10 meters
Correct. Even a cheap ultra light spinning reel correctly loaded and fished on an ultra light rod will embarrassingly outcast the most expensive BFS baitcasting set up. Wrong tool for the job.
Neil Robinson there is no "correct" or "wrong" i fishing, only people fishing how they want with what they want.
