I dont understand why braid is safer than fluro and mono on a locked drag assuming both are the same breaking strain. Wouldnt stretch make it safer?
@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL9 күн бұрын
Hey Jacob! Nope. Stretch is actually worse and here’s why. When your line(mono or fluoro) can stretch, the spool can experience different amounts of line tension in different locations. This will cause “hot spots” of tension. Braid will not stretch and will have a more uniform amount of “crushing force” on the spool allowing it to withstand the forces it experiences. That said, technically on a locked drag, if your line breaking strain is very high yes you will likely warp or break your spool regardless of the type of line you are using. Hope that helps explain it a bit. Cheers my friend!

@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL11 күн бұрын
Hey tube! According the Soloking the original long shaft version doesn’t have benefits over the newer short shaft version. From what they’ve told me, the short shaft version has a stronger spool shaft that will not bend under pressure as easily, and it is also almost 1g lighter than the long shaft spool. Now most of that weight is along the center axis and so how much it actually helps reduce the moment of inertia is beyond me but in my experience I was able to cast lower weights with the pro vs the original reel. Many say that the pro model is a bit underbraked but you can always add some 0.5mm thick 4mm diameter n52 magnets to the existing one to increase the overall brake strength. Cheers my friend!

The drag does seem stronger on the pro version though. You also get a larger range of adjustment on the spool tension without the clicker.

If you have something that has a small right angle and is fairly strong you can try working the bearing loose. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to invest in a bearing puller tool. I got one from roro a while back that I’ve enjoyed using.

Ok, you turn it on with 2 taps, now how do you turn it off?? Ive tried 2,3,4,5 taps. Holding for 5, 10, 20 30 seconds. Still experimenting. Anyone??
@@noir52 hey noir! The reel doesn’t have a traditional “off” selection. Instead it uses an auto shut off timer. You can select how long the reel stays on but you need to use the app for this setting. Have you installed the app yet ooc? There are many more settings you get access to by using the app. Cheers my friend!

I’m not sure if you’ve done a video on this specific reel but I know you’ve mentioned adding the additional magnets on top of the existing ones. What are the sizes of these magnets if I wanted to do so? And additionally, are the two bearings the same size? Thanks
Hey BG! I never made a video on the magnets but they are N52 in the 4mm diameter x 0.5mm thickness size. You should be able to find them on eBay. If you need a link let me know and I’ll see if I can scrounge up the seller I used. Also, yes the spool bearings are the same and are the 834 size. Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL thanks and sorry bout that mix up. Appreciate you once again
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL this might be a dumb question but out of the 8 magnets on the brakes, which 4 do I add magnets on top of? And why only 4 vs all 8?
@@BGJ2121 hey BG! Not sure who may have suggested doing only 4 but I went ahead and put the 0.5mm thick magnets on all of the preexisting magnets. After doing so my brake dial was reduced by 1 full setting or thereabouts. So prior to the magnet upgrade I would typically find myself using 4-4.2 out of 5 and after adding the 8 additional magnets that dropped to 3-3.2 out of 5. Hope that helps! Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL ahh I see. I’ll give that a go and hopefully yield similar results. Thanks
Better than soloking acura pro?
Hey vluffy! Most definitely. This reel will outcast the Acura and feels more premium for sure. However, the increase in cost also reflects this as well. Cheers my friend!
which one would you buy kestrel ou silver feather? Why?
Hey Leonardo! Sorry for the late response. Imho, I would probably choose the silver feather over the kestrel bfs. Mainly because the SF has a much more convenient braking style to use and because in my experience it casts lighter lures than the kestrel bfs. However, the kestrel bfs is a decent reel as well. Hope that helps! Cheers my friend!
Where do u get the ceramic bearings from please?
Hey wrg! I purchased the roro ceramic bearings off of their website. rorolure.com if you are looking for spool bearings for any of the DWU variants they should be the 834 size. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!

@@blicky308 hey blicky! I would say that the aurora air will outcast the Acura pro but there is a small chance you may have a QC issue with it. That said, I think the aurora air is so cheap that it’s worth more of a look than the Acura pro. Hope that helps! Cheers my friend!

Cool review on the reel.
Hey chris! Thanks for the kind words. Cheers mate!
Thanks for the shout out! I didn't see it until the second time I watched. I did finally get the reel and I like it, it was pricey though
Hey John! Haha no problem =). You’re the only other person I know currently with this reel. Hopefully it will eventually come to aliexpress but until then I’ll have to find a cheaper way for people to get one as the reel is quite good imho. Cheers my friend!
@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL hopefully there will be a cheaper way, if I wasn't a little ahead at the time I wouldn't have been able to grab one at that price for sure. I think it's a good reel and I am not disappointed even though I went the expensive route. I just find it funny that I jumped on it so I could take it on my trip up north and actually received it the day I got home lol. Oh well, I will be fishing again soon enough. Great video, it was nice to see the reel in action.
So this is an update to the black and red Valiant Eagle II that can be found on Tackle Warehouse? Is the black and red version the same as the previous champagne colored model?
@@takG6 hey tak! Yes this is an updated version of the initial valiant eagle 2. It is now called the valiant eagle pro or valiant eagle 2 pro. The original valiant eagle 2 came in a champagne red and a black and red version. This pro version only seems to come in a champagne red version that has more flake in it and makes it more sparkly in appearance. The other clear indicator is that the newer version has “valiant eagle pro” written on the side. Hope that helps! Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL sure does! Thanks!
It is because of the brakes, these reels are said to be overbraked, if you want to see them spin like the other reels, take out the brakes..
@@sherwinjontilano27 hey sherwin! Yes you are correct! The ve2 IS overbraked compared to many other reels and this is the case even after upgrading the spool bearings. Cheers my friend!
I dont understand why braid is safer than fluro and mono on a locked drag assuming both are the same breaking strain. Wouldnt stretch make it safer?
Hey Jacob! Nope. Stretch is actually worse and here’s why. When your line(mono or fluoro) can stretch, the spool can experience different amounts of line tension in different locations. This will cause “hot spots” of tension. Braid will not stretch and will have a more uniform amount of “crushing force” on the spool allowing it to withstand the forces it experiences. That said, technically on a locked drag, if your line breaking strain is very high yes you will likely warp or break your spool regardless of the type of line you are using. Hope that helps explain it a bit. Cheers my friend!
If I get the reel from eBay it's $159usd delivered but yep it's certainly there.
Hey Jacob! Yea I don’t think that that price is that cheap imho… it’s not worth it for $159… I paid about $85USD shipped so around there is what I’d say it’s worth. Cheers my friend!
Just got my Acura and the spool only goes for like 1 second. Am I doing this wrong? do I need to break in the bearings more? Do you have roro bearings on yours?
@@wyattdahlstrom9156 hey wyatt! I believe the Acura(original) in this video does have roro bearings in it which allow it to spin for nearly as long as the Aldebaran. If you don’t want to spend the money on bearings you can try giving your stock bearings a clean in some acetone or isopropyl alcohol. It actually may be easiest just to dunk the entire spool in some isopropyl alcohol as the c-clip on the newer Acura pro is a bit more difficult to remove due to the increased tolerances on it. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL thanks will try that depending on its performance on the water!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL just watched your Acura pro unboxing and realized that you have to push the button as if you were casting to get the spool to spin freely 😭. So the freespool simulates how the reel acts during a cast… for some reason I thought it was just showing off the bearings or something and was just trying to spin the handle as fast as I could before letting it go lol. I’m now getting about the same duration as you did in the unboxing!!
@@wyattdahlstrom9156 hey wyatt! Haha yea sorry that wasn’t very clear. Yea you’re just simulating how long the spool might “free spin”. Really it doesn’t tell you much about the overall performance of the reel but it’s a fun little test to see how free the bearings are and what the minimum brake setting is like. Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL Gotcha tysm. Cheers!
Hey Peter! how do you feel this compares to the non-pro version. More refined/tuned brakes, better drag, anything else? Appreciate your opinion.
Hey jano! This definitely has better brakes(ie not overbraked) and the drag/star drag are leaps and bounds better than the original. I’ve really enjoyed using the reel and will likely keep it in the long term stable right next to the silver feather and cormorant. Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL Awesome! It's worth while stepping up from the VE II, then. Appreciate the feedback! I can't justify picking up the Cormorant, but VEII Pro is much easier on the wallet.
Great video, Doc
Hey doc! Thanks so much!!! Cheers my friend!
I like the the reel and everything about it show us how to get one !!!!! Please !!!!! And I'd like to try a cheap glass rod with pistal grip any suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!!
Hey Damon! Haha right on! I am still trying to verify a process and once I have confirmed it works well I’ll get a video out. I will say that it’s probably not the most straight forwards though sadly… Cheers my friend!
Sub 1 gram gang! Seems like fine wine(color reference) the VEII "aged" in a good way to this pro version, a question about the clearance between the spool and chassi, has it been improved?
Hey Ricardo! You’re the second person to ask about the spool/frame tolerance. I never experienced issues with braid. The one time I did get slippage was when I tried using mono. I haven’t used mono since and the original ve2 never had issues after that. This reel has not had any issues for me. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL On the old VE2 it happen 1 or 2 times I think, but I saw some more folks complaining about it.
I have a buddy in Guam that can get me one for pretty cheap. He can get almost any CDM reel or JDM reel over there. Pretty affordable for the most part
Hey ad! Right on! If so, I say go for it. If you don’t one the slight geariness then this reel performs quite well. It can cast with the best of them and the drag system is really well tuned. Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL it's seems like a decent reel. But! At a similar price, the Doviciello... aka Acura is just a bit better deal I think. And nobody has very many complaints that I've seen on that bad boy either. Thanks for the videos ! Helps me out a lot in evaluating my ROI on rods and reels
@adwhite804 hey ad! I will agree that the Acura pro is a better value for money. However, the AP can’t cast sub 1g lures like some of these newer reels that have a smaller diameter spool. So, you have to weigh and consider what is important to you. Also, imho this reel does feel quite a bit more premium than the AP. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the AP to anyone looking for a great deal of a reel but if you want something a bit nicer, has a wonderfully tuned drag, and can cast under 1g then this reel should be on your short list imho. Either way you’ll be getting a great reel regardless. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
Nice , What rod were you using in the video? Thanks.
Hey bill! The first fishing clip and intro were using a rod by Sembo called the Sembo spirit. I used the 592UL version and unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be available on aliexpress just yet. The specs for the rod are quite good for their asking price of $77, which is what I paid for it on taobao. It uses a toray t1100 40 ton blank and Fuji SiC guide inserts. I cannot confirm if the guide feet are genuine Fuji but they look to be stainless steel. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL thank you🐟
Did they fix the problem where the line can go in between the frame and the spool and wrap around the spool shaft?
Hey redfish! Honestly, I can’t recall experiencing this with the use of braid with the kastking bfs reels. I think I did experience it once when I tried using mono with the original ve2. However, I almost never use mono or fluoro with my bfs reels as I don’t want to run the risk of warping them. I did not experience any issues when using braid with this reel. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
simple solution, dont use super thin line
What soft plastic lure were you using? Looks something like a tadpole imitation.
Hey Eric! It’s a TPE lure off AliExpress. 55mm and 0.8g it’s made by duoduo. Here is the affiliate link to the product. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mOt84YY I like to use it in conjunction with a #8 EWG and a 0.8g cheb weight. It seems to be a good option I think because the tail floats a bit and has really great action. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL Thanks for the link and rigging details. I'll take a look at them. How was camping? You take the entire family?
@zankyou101 hey Eric! Yea entire family and extended family lol… Was a good trip but not much fishing sadly. Ah well… next time. Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL I know you liked to go camping in your earlier 4 Runner days. For me, if room service is 5 minutes late with my meal, I'm complaining to the front desk lol.
@zankyou101 hey Eric! Hahaha with kids in tow and lots of families it becomes a case of campgrounds with amenities. If I get a chance to go alone though that’s another story. Nowadays though I’m not averse to just getting a motel or an airbnb haha 😆. At the end of the day though as long as you’re enjoying what you’re doing then you’re doing it right =). Cheers my friend!
After using it, do you think they did anything about the overbraking situation, Peter? Also, what were the rods you were using in the video (especially the first one with the split grip!)? Great video as always my friend!
Hey Dan! This “pro” version of the ve2 is definitely not overbraked like the first version. They finally managed to get this one right. Imho, it is better than the kestrel bfs which was also better than the ve2/ke. Hope that helps clear that up? As far as the rod goes, it is a Sembo rod called the Sembo Spirit and also not available on AliExpress AFAIK. This one is a 592UL with Fuji SiC rings and a Toray T1100 40ton blank. I can’t confirm if the guide feet are Fuji but Sembo says the rings are SiC at least. I picked this up for around $77. Pretty fun rod with some good bend and capable of casting 0.56g. Not the most sensitive rod I’ve used but it is fairly nice. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
Great video and some good bass!
Hey southwest! Appreciate the kind words! Cheers my friend!
Most Kast King BFS reel is over brakes....they need to figure out about the brakes system
Hey ich! They got the brakes right on this version! It can actually cast what they are claiming now and quite well! This one has properly tuned brakes. Cheers my friend!
The drag clicker on VE2 was so quiet you can't tell there pulling drag. I like the louder clicker.
Hey Patrick! This is still a bit on the quiet side but I think it is a more pleasant sounding clicker =). Cheers my friend!
Yes LOL
Hey Patrick! Hope this message goes through but cheers my friend!
So is there any benefit In the old long shaft or only negatives? And how much difference does it really make if any?
Hey tube! According the Soloking the original long shaft version doesn’t have benefits over the newer short shaft version. From what they’ve told me, the short shaft version has a stronger spool shaft that will not bend under pressure as easily, and it is also almost 1g lighter than the long shaft spool. Now most of that weight is along the center axis and so how much it actually helps reduce the moment of inertia is beyond me but in my experience I was able to cast lower weights with the pro vs the original reel. Many say that the pro model is a bit underbraked but you can always add some 0.5mm thick 4mm diameter n52 magnets to the existing one to increase the overall brake strength. Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL so the new reel just came in and I don't know if it's just because maybe I have a little use (not a whole lot) on my long shaft version or If it's the extra bearing but the non-Pro is WAY smoother. It also free spins better. Also noticed they changed the drag system from a screw-on dragStar to a spring loaded one which on my pro model is kind of clunky/grabby compared to the screw-on version. The drag does seem stronger on the pro version though. You also get a larger range of adjustment on the spool tension without the clicker.
Now all i have to do is wait till it is available in my region...hehehe my ve2 is getting a little rusty...cheers my friend 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Irvin! Haha yea I last find it odd that some companies sell on taobao before aliexpress but maybe has something to do with the fees that AE charges then. Anywho, this version of the reel is a definite upgrade over the first version. Cheers my friend!
Hey bro I've had a look for bfs spools for one and they are pretty Pricey so if u know any cheap ones on ali express or a cheap online store if u could send me the link it would be nuch appreciated

Hey 5280! Ah that’s unfortunate… which bearings are you referring to ooc? Cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL The 4x7x2.5, But I used to mess with RC cars and know of a place that sells Ceramic ball bearings and they had that size for 9$

Hey user! Sorry I’m not quite sure what you are trying to say? Sorry about that and cheers my friend!
Awesome video! Do you have any idea on how to change the other bearing? I mean the other one on the spool which is hidden in the side panel?
Hey game! So the side plate bearing is held in by a spring clip. You will have to use some forceps to remove one of the arms of the spring clip and then the clip should be able to be removed. Keep in mind that the spring clips acts like a spring and can fly off into oblivion. I like to try and keep my thumb over the clip while removing it and also work in a well lit and clutter free area in case it does fly off. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL thank you very much! So I successfully removed the spring clip, but the bearing seems to be somewhat stuck, do you have any idea how to make it loose?
@gamefixxer5974 hey game! Hm… it could be because the bearing isn’t being pulled out of the housing straight. If the bearing starts getting pulled at an angle the edges of the housing might start digging into the side plate. If you have something that has a small right angle and is fairly strong you can try working the bearing loose. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to invest in a bearing puller tool. I got one from roro a while back that I’ve enjoyed using. You can also try using a small screw driver and angling so that you can work the bearing free but so so equally from all sides of the bearing so that it doesn’t come out at a severe angle. Hope that helps and cheers my friend!
@@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL Oh that helped a lot! I altered one of my bait needles and finally managed to pull it out. I thought maybe there where additional steps needed. Thank you so much!

Hey toong! I somewhat agree with you regarding doing your own “pretune” for reels to make the tolerances even better. However, many folks do not have the comfort to do this type of work. Also, really these reels should come with better tolerances and no need to fix issues like a poorly shimmed line guide. I hope Histar addresses these issues soon. Cheers my friend!
Hey bro what is the minimum casting weight on one with uprades and the minimum casting weight of one stock
Hey Arlo! Unfortunately, I never got a chance to use the reel in its stock form as it was in such a poor state that it needed to be rebuilt before being able to be used. After the upgrades though, and since this video I’ve actually installed the magnetic brakes along with the corresponding spool, I can cast 0.8g decently. I say decently because I have not tried to test the lower limits of what it can do as likely I’d be casting lures over 1g with this reel due to the fiberglass rods it would be paired with. Hope that helps a bit and cheers my friend!
