Precision Finesse for Light Line Experts
The Shimano Curado BFS (Bait Finesse System) Casting Reel is purpose-built for anglers who demand exacting control when using light lines and small lures. Featuring a shallow, lightweight spool, this reel delivers effortless casts with ultra-light baits, making it ideal for finesse bass techniques, trout, or panfish.
The BFS is equipped with Shimano’s innovative FTB (Finesse Tune Brake) System, a magnet-based brake that delivers ultra-responsive cast control without adding weight to the spool. Housed in a rigid Hagane® body, the reel maintains precision under pressure and provides smooth, consistent performance with every retrieve.
Perfect for casting 1/16 oz to 1/8 oz lures in tight quarters or ultra-clear water, the Curado BFS puts finesse at your fingertips.
Key Features:
Shallow Spool Design for exceptional performance with light lures
Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) System for adjustable magnetic braking without spool weight
Hagane® Body Construction for rigidity and lightweight strength
Smooth MicroModule Gearing for precise, low-resistance retrieves
Compact, Low-Profile Frame for comfortable all-day finesse fishing
Whether you're skipping small soft plastics under docks or making pinpoint casts in creeks, the Shimano Curado BFS is your ultimate finesse tool.
