Aldebaran BFS is Shimano's most advanced ultra finesse baitcasting reel. Designed for the very lightest of bait fishing, this technically brilliant lightweight reel can work with baits as light as 1g and is a serious alternative to the smallest spinning reels.

If you are a lightweight angler who likes to fish with finesse typical lures, or for smaller species such as trout and perch, you will love the Aldebaran BFS. Even anglers who previously only used spinning reels for their ultra finesse fishing will immediately appreciate the advantages of this model.

If conditions change, or if you choose a different weight bait, a quick adjustment of the brake dial means you always have the perfect brake setting. Aldebaran BFS' remarkable light casting performance is provided by the Finesse Tune Braking (FTB) system. This is a combination of magnets and centrifugal force braking that work in harmony with the ultra-lightweight MGL III coil to control braking. The addition of the S3D coil construction and SilentTune technology further enhances performance. When adjusted with an external dial and set to the lowest setting, brake friction is almost imperceptible.

Internally, the Micromodule Gear and X-SHIP provide a smooth, powerful and efficient winding force and the overall weight is reduced by using a HAGANE body composed of magnesium and CI4+ materials. Light bait experts who prefer a quick retrieve 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 fish play.
