Shimano Curado BFS Casting Reel 8.2:1 Left Hand | CUBFSXGL SPECIFICATIONS - Retrieve: Left | Gear Ratio: 8.2:1 | LPT (in): 32 | Weight (oz): 6.2 | Line (lb/yds): Mono: 8/50 Braid: 15/45 | Bearings: 7+1 | Max Drag (lbs): 8 | MPN: CUBFSXGL The new Shimano Curado BFS (Bait Finesse System) expands the Curado lineup of low-profile reels while redefining finesse fishing for tournament anglers. Inspired by the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), the new Curado BFS utilizes an ultra-light weight shallow spool designed for thinner diameter lines to allow anglers to cast light weight lures more effectively than traditional low-profile models. The Curado BFS incorporates Shimano's Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system to reduce the spools weight by moving the braking unit from the spool to the palming side-plate.
If you want to finesse fish and throw weightless or less than 1/4oz on a baitcaster this is the only way to do it...perfect for bank fishing or skipping socks with smaller profile lures. Paired w/ a Zodias ML BFS rod, and 8lb FC Sniper, this set is as good as my DC Curado. I wouldn’t wait on these things because they will be very hard to get moving forward I can promise you that.
