Avail Shimano 22 Aldebaran BFS Microcast Spool

Avail Microcast Spool for the Shimano 22 Aldebaran BFS

🔧 Maximum control for ultralight lures!

The Avail Microcast Spool is the perfect choice if you want to optimize your Shimano 22 Aldebaran BFS for ultralight lures from 1 g. Thanks to the shallow spool depth (2.2 mm), the spool's weight is significantly reduced, allowing you to achieve even more precise and smoother casts. Especially suitable for light saltwater fishing (e.g., mackerel) or trout fishing in the area!

Attention: Due to the shallower spool depth, the original brake system sits further away, reducing braking power. To compensate, we recommend the optional magnet extension (4 x 1 mm, up to 8 pieces, sold separately).

🔧 Technical data:

    📌 Note: The bearings have a different size than the original spool. Please consider this when replacing!

⚖ Weight compared to original spool:

📌 Note: Weight may vary slightly due to production. All spools were measured including bearings.

🎣 Line capacity:

📌 Note: Actual capacity may vary depending on line type (nylon, fluorocarbon, PE) and winding tension.

🚀 Why the Avail Microcast Spool?

✅ Ideal for ultralight lures from 1 g – Perfect for light saltwater fishing & trout fishing
✅ Lighter than the original spool – for smoother casts & more precise lure control
✅ Optimized for short and precise casts (Short-Pitch-Casting)
✅ Additional magnets possible – for finely adjustable braking power
✅ Easy installation – no parts need to be transferred from the original spool

🔧 Important usage notes:

❗ Additional magnets recommended for optimal braking power!

• The flat spool sits further away from the braking system → original braking power is weakened
• Solution: Additional 4 x 1 mm magnets (up to 8 pieces, sold separately) placed on the existing magnets
  

Original:

With additional recommended magnets:

❗ No thumbing on the spool edge!

• Direct thumb pressure can damage the anodizing – instead, stop on the winding surface

❗ Spool line with moderate tension!

• Especially with stretchable lines like nylon, too much tension can cause damage

❗ Clean & oil ball bearings before first use!

• The bearings are factory-lubricated with rust protection grease – for best performance please degrease & re-lubricate

🔊 Special features of the Microcast Spool:

🎶 Louder running noise than the original spool? No problem!

• The Microcast Spool is deliberately designed to be as light as possible
• Due to the large spool hollow design, the running noise of the reel can be somewhat amplified
• No O-ring for noise reduction → The running noise is not a defect!

🔥 Conclusion:
The Avail Microcast Spool is ideal for anyone who wants to tune their Shimano 22 Aldebaran BFS for maximum lightness & precision. Perfect for light saltwater fishing or finesse techniques with the smallest lures. Less weight, more control – for an unparalleled casting experience!

🔧 Make your Aldebaran BFS even better – feel the difference! 🎣🔥
