The Curado BFS XG from SHIMANO is a special model within the CURADO baitcasting family that has been specifically developed for finesse fishing and casting with small lures in combination with thin lines. The reel is extremely lightweight, has a shallow spool and allows you to cast light lures and rigs with ease. Once a predatory fish is on the hook, the Shimano Exciting Drag Sound feature kicks in and the slip ratchet can be heard – a feature not often found on light baitcasting reels. Equipped with compact lightweight HAGANE Body for extra stiffness and longevity. X-SHIP construction for efficient power transfer. Optimized Finesse Tune Brake System (FTB) for minimal friction and trouble-free casting. S3D Coil to reduce vibrations during the throw. Equipped with Exciting Drag Sound slip ratchet so that you immediately hear when it is 'game on'. Powerful Cross Carbon drag to fight with big fish without any problems. Furthermore, the reel is equipped with 7 Shielded A-RB ball bearings and a roller bearing.
