Shimano Curado BFS Baitcast Reel
The Shimano Curado BFS (Bait Finesse System) reel is a premium, low-profile baitcasting reel designed for finesse fishing. Specially built to cast lightweight lures with precision, it integrates Shimano's advanced technology, providing smooth performance for anglers who seek ultimate control in their casting and retrieval.
This reel features the Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system, reducing the weight of the spool for better distance and accuracy when casting light lures. The magnetic brake automatically adjusts during the cast for consistent performance. With the incorporation of Shimano’s Cross Carbon Drag system, anglers benefit from smooth, durable drag performance, ideal for a wide range of fishing conditions.
The Curado BFS also comes with a S3D spool that reduces vibrations, allowing for smoother casting. Additionally, the Super Free Spool system reduces friction on the spool shaft, enhancing casting distance and precision. The high-rigidity Hagane body ensures structural integrity, while the S A-RB bearings offer corrosion resistance, perfect for saltwater environments.
