Aldebaran BFS HG 2022 Shimano casting reel
Left handle
The Aldebaran BFS is Shimano's most advanced ultra-light casting reel. Designed for fishing with the lightest lures, this reel is technically very sophisticated and can operate with lures as light as 1g, making it a serious alternative to the smallest spinning reels.
If you are a specialist in light lures who likes to fish with finesse-type lures, or for smaller species like trout and perch, you will love the Aldebaran BFS. Even anglers who have so far only used spinning reels for their ultra-light fishing will instantly appreciate the advantages of this model. A simple tap on the rod tip allows the lightest lures to fly almost without friction. And if conditions change, or if you choose a lure of a different weight, a quick adjustment of the brake dial always gives you the perfect brake setting.
The remarkable light casting performance of the Aldebaran BFS is ensured by the FTB (Finesse Tune Braking) system. It is a combination of magnets and centrifugal force braking that works in harmony with the ultra-light MGL III spool to control the break. The addition of the S3D spool design and SilentTune technology further enhances performance. Adjusted by an external dial, when set to the lowest, brake friction is almost imperceptible. But the Aldebaran BFS is not just about its remarkable casting performance. Internally, the Micromodule Gear and X-SHIP provide smooth, powerful, and efficient winding power. The overall weight is reduced thanks to the use of a HAGANE body made of magnesium and CI4+ materials.
Light lure experts who prefer fast retrieval will appreciate the options of the 7.8:1 (HGL) or 8.9:1 (XGL) models, both equipped with Shimano's Exciting Drag Sound to enhance the fighting experience.
