Shimano Curado BFS
Introducing the Shimano Curado BFS, the ultimate low-profile reel for finesse fishing. With an ultralightweight shallow spool and thinner diameter lines, this JDM-inspired reel allows for more effective casting of lightweight lures. Perfect for tournament anglers looking to redefine their game.
The Curado BFS incorporates Shimano's Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system to reduce the spool's weight by moving the braking unit from the spool to the palming side-plate. The result: the spool takes minimal force to turn and allows anglers to effectively cast lightweight tackle. Unlike traditional magnetic brake systems that maintain the same drag on the spool throughout the cast, Shimano's FTB capitalises on the cast's centrifugal force and the magnetic brakes automatically adjust to slow down the spool only when braking is needed. Fully adjustable, anglers can fine-tune the FTB with the external dial or by adding or removing individual magnets as needed. The perfect antidote for picky fish, the Curado BFS is the ideal tool for anglers to downsize baits to increase their success on the water.
