Shimano 22 Aldebaran BFS XG Right

The Shimano 22 Aldebaran BFS XG is a high-performance baitcasting reel engineered for extreme finesse applications. It features a newly designed FTB (Finesse Tune Brake) system that dramatically expands brake setting range while virtually eliminating magnet influence at the lowest setting. Combined with the low-inertia Magnumlite Spool III, this reel delivers exceptional low-trajectory casting with minimal speed loss before landing, allowing precise placement of ultra-light lures into tight cover.

• New FTB brake system with extended stroke for wider settings and near-zero magnet influence at minimum
• Low-inertia Magnumlite Spool III for superior low-trajectory casting and extended range
• 10+1 bearing system for smooth retrieve under load
• Lightweight 130 g body reduces fatigue during all-day finesse sessions
