The Avail Microcast Spool for the 2022 Shimano Aldebaran BFS offers a significant upgrade in lightweight performance over the stock factory spool. Avail, a premium aftermarket reel tuning brand from Japan, is renowned worldwide for its well-balanced and light bait finesse spools. The Microcast Spool 22ALD22R is ultra-shallow, coming in at only 2.2mm in spool depth, and offers a roughly 30% reduction in overall spool weight versus the factory spool of the 2022 Aldebaran BFS. These improvements amount to more controlled and longer casting distances with lightweight lines (4-6lb) and ultra-light lure weights. Due to the increased space from the spool body to the magnetic braking system, aftermarket magnets are required (typically sold separately) for proper braking control when using the Avail Microcast Spool. We include these magnets with the Avail Microcast 22ALD22R spool. Place the eight neodymium on top of the factory magnets to install. No tools are required. Note: The Avail 22ALD22R spool shaft is slightly thicker in diameter than the stock spool shaft and uses a bearing sized 3mm (Inner) X 8mm (Outer). The spool shaft bearing is preinstalled and included with your purchase.
