Shimano Curado BFS Baitcast Reel
Shimano Curado BFS Baitcaster Reel
The Shimano Curado BFS expands the trusted Curado lineup into the world of finesse fishing, delivering advanced performance for anglers targeting pressured fish with ultra-light presentations. Inspired by Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) design, this reel is purpose-built for Bait Finesse System (BFS) applications where precision and control are critical.
At the core of the Curado BFS is an ultra-lightweight shallow spool, specifically designed for thinner diameter lines and lightweight lures. This low inertia spool requires minimal effort to start and maintain rotation, allowing anglers to cast small lures with improved distance, accuracy and control.
The reel is equipped with Shimano’s advanced FTB (Finesse Tune Brake) system, which relocates the braking unit from the spool to the side plate. This significantly reduces spool weight and improves startup speed, enabling more efficient casting of finesse lures.
Unlike traditional braking systems, the FTB system dynamically adjusts braking force throughout the cast using centrifugal force and magnetic resistance. This results in smoother, more controlled casts with reduced backlash. The system is fully adjustable via an external dial, and can be further fine-tuned by adjusting internal magnets to suit different lure weights and conditions.
Designed for anglers who need to downsize presentations to trigger bites, the Curado BFS excels in finesse scenarios across both freshwater and light saltwater environments. Whether targeting wary fish in clear water or fishing tight structure with small lures, this reel delivers the precision needed to maximise success.
Need some braid spooled on? Take out the effort for yourself and let us do it by locking in some bulk braid here.
