1 - Unboxing
2 - Casting Test: Casting a variety of lures in a stream, how light will it cast?
3 - Silver Creek vs Gekkabijin
4 - Maintenance / Internal of Reel

Silver Creek AIR TW Stream Custom is designed to fish in streams where short, accurate casting is needed. The fixed inductor ensures there is no lag in braking, as the brakes are activated throughout all phases of the cast.

Time to get HYPE!!!!
HYPERDRIVE DESIGN
HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR: New gear design for durability and smoothness
HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT: Dual bearing support for pinion gear
HYPER ARMED HOUSING: High rigidity aluminum frame
HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH: Durable, crisp clutch thumb bar

T WING SYSTEM (TWS): Line guide to reduce line friction during cast.

ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT DRAG (UTD): Eliminates stuttering in drag and consistently smooth

STREAM TROUT BRAKE TUNE: Fixed inductor spool designed for short range accurate casts with little trouble.

CLICKING DRAG: When line is pulled from reel from a fighting fish, the drag makes a clicking sound like a spinning reel.

Bearings: 6+1

Inches Per Turn (IPT): 32in (74cm)

GEKKABIJIN:
8.5 gear ratio

80mm handle
165gr (Alphas AIR TW is 160gr)

The Gekkabijin AIR TW is what I feel is an upgraded version of the Alphas AIR TW. Has way more bearings and feels even more smooth on the retrieve. It also has a new specialized spool specifically made for distance casting light lures with braided line.

The Gekkabijin AIR TW does cast a wide variety of lures pretty far for a BFS reel. The level of control added to that distance is remarkable. Usually have to sacrifice one for the other.

Although Daiwa says NOT to use any line besides PE (braid), I intend on testing the Gekkabijin AIR TW with monofilament line. Given how the braking profile is, I feel that the spool can cast mono just fine. I will use special attention not to use too much line or apply a lot of pressure.

I do a lot of BFS fishing and have many videos going over BFS fishing techniques, BFS reels, rods and everything else. Subscribe to stay up to date: http://www.youtube.com/channel/HobieW...
