2015 Shimano Aldebaran BFS XG Limited LH screws

dragon1 — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 02:49:07 +0000

Hello folks, I just picked up a LH 2015 Shimano Aldebaran BFX XG Limited and I want to do a full service. Does anyone know if all of the handle and frame screws are counter-sunken or standard clockwise threading to tighten down?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone still using this reel today? How are your 7.4:1 gears holding up? I want to pair this reel to my Zenaq Spirado Blackart 72MH Biwa Special with 30-40 braid + leader for mostly swimjigs and some mid resistance torque baits and some 4-6" paddletails with 5/0-8/0 hooks...I'll save the big 1 oz + Big Colorado bladed spinnerbaits for my 6.3 Zillion SV103 or Z2020H.

Thanks in advance.

I think this is Shimano's best reel

Just took me some time to figure out what to do cosmetically

I have one of the previous models I wander how this new version will stack up to it..?

Still got love for the OG Z-prides.

After all these years, I’ve still got so much love for the Original Z-pride (ZPI-tuned) Metaniums. Mag Braking profile is great out of the box, and the variants are sexy, IMO. The Black/Gold Ltd and Blue iterations remain in the collection.
