2024 ABU GARCIA ROXANI... HAVE YOU HEARD OF THESE REELS??? 

I’m a dyed in the wool Shimano guy…that’s just what I AM. But I always secretly root for Abu on the side. When I was a little kid in the 90s, my first baitcaster was an ambassador (which I promptly lost the spool tension knob for) and that reel taught my right hand/thumb everything it needed to know. Beyond that, I bought a black max about ten years ago just to see what they’d been up to and the thing was *phenomenal* for the price. The fact that you can buy a reel with that level of feel and user-friendliness at Walmart for godsake. It makes me happy to know that kids starting out are easily able to get their hands on a decent reel. I actually passed my black max on to a young kid who frequents the boat launch at my home lake. Hopefully he used it to expand his fishing horizons…and if not, hey, no biggie…

I think the new Roxani BFS is excellent for light inshore fishing. I use it on the coast in Denmark for sea-run brown trout, typically using 7-13 grams lures. With that lure weight the reel is excellent, long casts and no overruns. Love the clicking drag on the new model. Somehow the JDM ABU models I have tried generallly tolerate saltwater very well compared to e.g Shimano reels which otherwise is my preferred reel brand.

I have the old roxani nice reel, no drag clicker, but bery smooth

Finally!

They should include lighter knobs just so they can advertise it as weighing less but still include the standard knobs. That's what I would do if I was trying to market the reel to the BFS audience

let's see shimano dc vs kastking ireel comparison! love your vids

Test the new Lews high-end baitcaster.

I wonder how much the old model is I likely illuminate frame. It was a good looking real

When it came to upgrade from my Zephyr I looked into the Roxani but couldn't find one for decent price and couldn't afford an ALC or LTX. I found a great deal on a REVO UltraCast BF8 and bought one. I'm curious how the new Roxani will perform against other BFS reels in its price range.

EXCELLENT CHANNEL MAN! I know this question is off-topic, but I just bought the non elite version of the kestrel bfs reel from Amazon (3-5-24) for 91.53 after 30% off in promo codes regular price $119.00 I'm having a hard time finding information on the regular non elite version of the kestrel. I saw it on kastking's Amazon store. The specs for the non elite version are close if not the same as the elite version! What gives? Hope I didn't get ripped off! If so, I'll just return it. Any thoughts, my fellow BFS FRIENDS?

Can you do a review on the kastking mg12 elite

It looks ok, but I just bought an SLX BFS with some fluoro shock leader from digitaka for around $138 USD to my house in like 3 or 4 days......

I had the Zata and I always thought about turning it to bfs wish I did

You know of any sites that I can go ahead and Pre-Order this reel?

Are the reels from aliexpress knockoffs? Shipping from Malaysia
