Hi sir .. I'm from Malaysia and I'm one of your subscribers .. I can only dream of getting this reel .. I can't afford it.. Millions thanks to this great review, can't touch it but at least i can feel it❤️❤️❤️
Love the 360 on the beginning of the video ! The quality of the video is prime ! the silent tune spring loaded is heavier , the color looks like the new bantam rod, love the idea of mgl3 spool , the weight surprised me my call was 7.3 g between you and me the mgl spool is the best ! hope the break is strong enough!
I like the way this reel looks. The top profile reminds me a lot of the 2016 Metanium MGL. I’m most excited for the new Bantam this year, I keep growing to love my old one more and more each time I use it. It is fantastic on a Destroyer Madbull throwing all sorts of moving baits
Ordered it right before you vids came out and it definitely looks just as what I expected. Have yet to receive mine but hope the casting live up to the hype!
Went from a Wal-mart Lew's baitcaster to the Curado MGL 151 because of your reviews. It was an excellent recommendation! You've got my attention for many future reviews.
Im glad yours finally arrived! Your going to love the casting performance. Its an awesome reel and in my opinion still the the king and now its not even a conversation. Looking forward to your casting video. Thanks again for the great content!
Мне очень понравился дизайн , возможно удачный ракурс был использован в твоём видео. Не смотрел у других , ждал именно твой обзор . I’m from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
love the video!! I've been watching your videos for a minute now and I love the details you do for everything, especially for the bfs stuff. Just started to get into bfs because of u and I love it!!
I love the reel as well so much that I made a great comment about how would I love to win the reel. This guy, the reel test guy replied to me saying I won the reel but had to pay for shipping and handling, the thing is he ended up scamming me for over $200. I really respected the owner of this Reel Test account but after what he did to me I have nothing but anger and disappointment for this guy. He scammed me big time.
I will have this.. law of attraction.. when the time comes I could buy this reel. Thank you for the review.. just tot the news from PH that this is out... im drooling over it.. god bless brother!
Liked. The 2016 is incredible, to have been a top dog for six years. Now there's a new sheriff in town. I am a leftover only, and would loved to have one. Regardless, I commend you for having the right perspective on what is foremost at the beginning if every video. Keep it up!
I’ve been fishing 60 yrs. My first reel was a baitcaster but right handed. Almost lost interest and now I’m using baitcasters. Finally We lefthanders have arrived!!!
Awesome reel and great video! I switched all my reels over to lefty pretty much now aside from two. Makes casting and fishing a lot more enjoyable and not getting tired or anything.
I have the gekkabijin with a roro spool and I would like to see your comparison of the two "gekkabijin/ 22 aldebaran"....and I can't wait to see that alphas air tw vs gekkabijin video.
So I am right handed. Fairly ambidextrous and always wanted to try a left handed setup. I crank my spinning reel with my left handed. Also I like that you post scripture up at the front of your videos. Thank you.
Being a right handed it is actually easier to go baitcasting the same way with left handle as in spinning but in USA pros mostly prefer to go with right handle. It is a personal choice but being a saltwater angler and I do lots of movement with the rod I need to hold my rod with right hand just like spinning It feels more convenient actually because I can’t do jerking or vertical jigging with my weaker arm. And left hand reels seem to be on sale quite often I can’t complain
Thank you. I have just gotten back into fishing and once I let funds regenerate I think I’m gonna try a lefty. For the same reason seems like I have better rod handling when working with the right hand.
Awesome content as always and I like everything about this reel. Shimano always been my go to for reels. Have not dip into BFS but might have to try it out with this one.
Amazing looking reel. I fish with left handed reels only, but i grew up with spinning gear and feels wierd to reel with my right hand. Never really cared about drag star appearance, until today. Wow. The side view of the alderberan, looks like a fish with the brake dial as the eye
I get your pain with handle side. Got my self a right handle 15 Aldebaran, for like a hundred bucks, but I use left handed reels usually. Feels super weird and uncomfortable to palm. P. S. New Aldebaran color is just sick! Love that blueish tone!
OMG That would be like winning the Lottery in my case!!!! I'm a South Paw and everything in this World is for Right Handers!! LOL!!! These Japanese Engineers are something else, this reel must perform and cast like a Dream for sure. Love your Videos, always on the money with the reviews in my Opinion. Love the way you introduce each and every video with a Biblical Passage and a brief interpretation. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations for a very well put together review! Shimano went for performance on this model in my opinion. I have yet to test it out but looking forward to your in depth analysis when you receive the RH model. 👍
i am looking at getting one of these reels just been doing lots of research before i spend the crazy money lol but ur videos have helped alot and im on the edge between 2 reels also thinking about the daiwa anyways hope i win lol keep making helpfull videos thanks
Well Im not giving the reel away because I didnt get the required likes in the allotted time, but if you are trying to decide between the Aldebaran vs a Daiwa bfs, the Aldebaran is better than any Daiwa BFS reel
Well done review! I agree with the brake dial issue. The Chronarch has a similar location and is tucked away yet easy to turn. Cheap looking thumb bar. Might keep the older generation.
I really like this reel including the brakes 🤣, I was really shocked as the spool is that light even though there's not a lot of holes on it ! I also like the high profile too, it just palms more better
Agreed. Looks like the old Model is much2 more prettier and palm friendly. Shimano really can save more weight by reducing the star drag point from 6 to 5, because its easier to remove the spool tension cap on 5 point stardrag that way. Left handle user right here. i hope that i am the lucky one
I can’t believe I waited until December last year to buy myself a 16 Aldebaran because I thought a new model was coming out. Then they announce this a month later. I hope it delivers on everything it promises, just wish I’d waited a little longer 😂
Been tempted to get into BFS fishing ever since I started watching your videos. So far this is looking like a dream of a reel. I'll have to give shimano a try as my past baitcasters have been daiwas. Looking forward to the casting video for this reel. As a right-handed person I prefer to use left handed baitcaster reels. Less changing of hands. Sometimes its hard to find left hand reels in stores. I have a friend who feels the same. Thanks for the videos I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and sharing the biblical verses on each of them.
If you are going to get into BFS with a JDM model, Shimanos definitely sell faster and have better resale value in case you tried BFS and didnt like it
@@THEREELTEST That is good to know. I am sure I would enjoy BFS. I have just been worried about my wallet. lol. but it is encouraging to know that they have good resale value. Thank you
Great Video but not sure if this is a great reel..lol I've been on the fence but considering the color and the crazy brake dial sticking out I think I'm passing on this reel for now.. My new favorite Shimano is actually the Curado bfs.. sold my 16 Aldebaran bfs and selling the conquest bfs to my buddy Charles..
Yeah still on the fence.. appears to be an ugly duckling with swan like performance.. everyone I've seen talking about it says it's the best they've used for the lightest stuff out of the box
Never made sense to me casting with the right hand only to have to swap the rod to the opposite hand on the retrieve 🤷. Makes sense to use a left hand reel to not have to keep swapping hands
@@THEREELTEST OK pal no worries, I didn't mean it as a judgement of your fishing, it was a generalisation of the trend in the US. It is just less effort over a full days fishing if an angler whom is right handed casts with the right hand and can crank the handle with the left. I am sorry if constructive criticism bothers you mate
@@garylawlor2288 He's a bit touchy, maybe you got to him during his endless discussion about how small the reel is! How small does sit need to be? Geeeez. I like his videos but sometimes he sounds a bit childish. His reply to you proves that point. You were making an accurate observation and I concur with you.
2000 likes and a lucky subscriber will win this reel! After I get my RH model of course
I’m in :) never won something
Hi sir .. I'm from Malaysia and I'm one of your subscribers .. I can only dream of getting this reel .. I can't afford it.. Millions thanks to this great review, can't touch it but at least i can feel it❤️❤️❤️
Niceeee. Congratulations!
lets just keep thing simple... and choose me for the giveaway. lol
I missed the price, how much is it? Thanks
I’m a 75 year old BFS lefty reeler. Great video.
Love the 360 on the beginning of the video ! The quality of the video is prime !
the silent tune spring loaded is heavier , the color looks like the new bantam rod, love the idea of mgl3 spool , the weight surprised me my call was 7.3 g between you and me the mgl spool is the best ! hope the break is strong enough!
It looks like a great reel, the brake dial is the only weird aspect of it, lefty gang for life though lol
Needed a video about this reel...You delivered big time! Thank you good sir
it's very cool looking and I just hope to be that lucky subscriber that you send it too love you and all your videos❤❤
I like the way this reel looks. The top profile reminds me a lot of the 2016 Metanium MGL. I’m most excited for the new Bantam this year, I keep growing to love my old one more and more each time I use it. It is fantastic on a Destroyer Madbull throwing all sorts of moving baits
Very awesome looking reel . The color is great . Can't wait for your on the water tests
The color on the inside of the crank handle is a nice touch. It Keeps catching my eye.
I'm a lefty really like the way you analyze reels and rods. You have saved me a lot of frustration
help me get to 2000 likes before my RH reel comes in and all you leftie subscribers will have a chance to win this reel :)
your mega ahead of the game as always...im a lefty jdm junky tho so you had me at "Shimano" dude... well done
Ordered it right before you vids came out and it definitely looks just as what I expected. Have yet to receive mine but hope the casting live up to the hype!
I'm left handed and could really use it!
I'll share the video with all my friends so you can get 2000 likes sooner 😁
Great first analysis btw!
Went from a Wal-mart Lew's baitcaster to the Curado MGL 151 because of your reviews. It was an excellent recommendation! You've got my attention for many future reviews.
I’ve been using left handed bait casters more often as I get older. Great video as usual. God bless you brother!

Look like a great reel. Recently, I have noticed that many anglers are switching to left hand reels.
Liked. The 2016 is incredible, to have been a top dog for six years. Now there's a new sheriff in town. I am a leftover only, and would loved to have one. Regardless, I commend you for having the right perspective on what is foremost at the beginning if every video. Keep it up!
I like that the 2022 Shimano ALDEBARAN BFS is shorter than previous models. We look forward to your testing in the field.
Awesome Reel, Epic give away and would be perfect since I mostly use left hand retrieve. looking forward to casting test!
Fantastic reel
I’ve been fishing 60 yrs. My first reel was a baitcaster but right handed. Almost lost interest and now I’m using baitcasters. Finally We lefthanders have arrived!!!
waaaw. you are the King of Reel BC. I'm speechless
Nice looking reel. Thanks for the thorough review.
Left handed here...sexy reel! Never fished bfs but this is a great looking reel.
Awesome reel and great video! I switched all my reels over to lefty pretty much now aside from two. Makes casting and fishing a lot more enjoyable and not getting tired or anything.
loving this reel plus i have liked so fingers crossed
Is this reply real? Lol
@@danram69 noh... Random bullshit... All the comments got replied... Its a spam

I love every aldebaran ever made! 🙂
Your passion and knowledge is really helpful.. thanks for the show
Great review👍🏻nice Baitcaster 🎣
Awesome review! No time wasted! Keep up the great work 👍
Bro I had 3 wrist surgeries on my right hand trying to go lefty I hope you get that 2000 bro 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Awesome content as always and I like everything about this reel. Shimano always been my go to for reels. Have not dip into BFS but might have to try it out with this one.
Hit the like kids! I need a left handed bfs reel in my life! I love your reviews! Good info on reels I want to try. Keep up the good work!
Looks like an awesome reel👍 thanks for the great review on it and god bless
Amazing looking reel. I fish with left handed reels only, but i grew up with spinning gear and feels wierd to reel with my right hand.
Never really cared about drag star appearance, until today. Wow.
The side view of the alderberan, looks like a fish with the brake dial as the eye
Fantastic review, thanks again
Winning a top end BFS reel would be amazing.
😲 what a awesome reel!!!!
Lefty rookie bfs fisherman here 😁
I do wish the brake dial was recessed some and chrome. Also wanted the color to match my 2018 MGL. Regardless I can't wait to receive mine.
it is very interesting whether she can throw 0.5g
🤩 this reel looks good !
Great review, man that reel looks sweet!
That is one of the best looking reels on the market in my opinion, and it’s left hand which makes it even better.
I'm so excited for this
Good day sir, that's a good looking reel! I need a bfs reel, but cannot afford at this time. Maybe that the reel. Thanks in advance.
I get your pain with handle side. Got my self a right handle 15 Aldebaran, for like a hundred bucks, but I use left handed reels usually. Feels super weird and uncomfortable to palm.
P. S. New Aldebaran color is just sick! Love that blueish tone!
the left reel for right man
I’m a lefty and I don’t have a Shimano bfs reel yet.
OMG That would be like winning the Lottery in my case!!!! I'm a South Paw and everything in this World is for Right Handers!! LOL!!!

Nice reel
FYI That is a right handed reel. You cast with your dominant hand and reel with the other.
Congratulations for a very well put together review! Shimano went for performance on this model in my opinion. I have yet to test it out but looking forward to your in depth analysis when you receive the RH model. 👍
Thanks for the review !!!
I know its almost impossible, but it will be a dream come true to have this reel. Im from one small country in Europe. Greetings.
i am looking at getting one of these reels just been doing lots of research before i spend the crazy money lol but ur videos have helped alot and im on the edge between 2 reels also thinking about the daiwa anyways hope i win lol keep making helpfull videos thanks

Well done review! I agree with the brake dial issue. The Chronarch has a similar location and is tucked away yet easy to turn. Cheap looking thumb bar. Might keep the older generation.
Yeah i definitely like the older generation more, just for the brake adjustment.
Greeeeat review!!! Thank you
I really like this reel including the brakes 🤣, I was really shocked as the spool is that light even though there's not a lot of holes on it ! I also like the high profile too, it just palms more better

I think is a better reel, except for the protuding button.
I want to know about the new Bantam the most and infinity drive. I want to see if it actually feels like a 5.1:1 gears when your using 7.1:1 gears
I hope Im that lucky left handed subscriber who wins this reel! Great Content
Waiting for the cast testing video! ✌️😅😁
I like the new model 👌🏼
Magnesium very light metal..but..to much porting might lower it's structure integrity..

@THE REEL TEST is this you?
You have not checked the Abu Garcia revo MGXtreme ll. That’s the lightest of 4.2 oz.
Great Video but not sure if this is a great reel..lol
I've been on the fence but considering the color and the crazy brake dial sticking out I think I'm passing on this reel for now..
My new favorite Shimano is actually the Curado bfs.. sold my 16 Aldebaran bfs and selling the conquest bfs to my buddy Charles..
my particular reel feels as smooth as the Conquest but takes less effort to turn the handle
Yeah still on the fence.. appears to be an ugly duckling with swan like performance.. everyone I've seen talking about it says it's the best they've used for the lightest stuff out of the box
Thanks for this review ! 👌 I can't wait for the giveaway's contest 😅
I'm left handed and would love to buy it but its too expensive for me. Would be a dream to toss around some ned rigs.
Awesome video thAnks
Hi! e I don't mind getting 22 aldebaran, I have 16 aldebaran in my collection, thanks for the review
Where do you make purchase for JDM reels?
I liked the video and would love to be the winner the reel. Thanks! 👍
Looks nice
I’m a left handed subscriber 🤚
I’m a lefty and 0 bfs reels….it would be a great start for me though lol
I need a left handed baitcaster. I've used nothing but spinning reels all my life. Just getting used to the baitcasters.
The reel looks very nice. Not as nice as the Metanium, but close.
Let's get this to well over 2k likes. Lefty here!!
Aye my good fellow I need that reel.
Come on 2000!
Let’s get this man 2000 likes 👍
I want this, cuz im a newbie angler.. than i cant buy some bc :((
What is the best Ali Express BFS Casting Reel in your opinion?
probably the Clamber Hyper Micro or Lingl because their brakes work
I love it😍
