BFS refers to an emerging freshwater finesse fishing technique from Japan that involves throwing super small and lightweight soft and hard baits (~ 1\/64 to 1\/8 ounce) on light-line casting tackle. Yet, because many casting reels are not designed to throw lures this light, more and more reel manufacturers have been producing low-profile baitcasters capable of effectively throwing lures this light. The new Curado BFS is one of the first Japanese BFS reels specifically designed for the North American market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the ways the Curado BFS achieves this is through its Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system, which reduces spool weight by moving the braking unit from the spool to the palm side of the reel. Additionally, FTB capitalizes 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Curado BFS also has many of the same features and design points from existing members of the Curado line-up, including: a rigid Hagane body, X-Ship gear reinforcement, Super Free Spool, and Cross Carbon Drag. The Curado BFS also has a unique drag sound produced without a rattle\/clicker that makes it easier for the angler to tell when a fish is pulling drag.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, when paired with a dedicated BFS rod like the , the resulting combination is a highly effective casting outfit that allows you to fish ultralight finesse baits with incredible accuracy and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Right Hand","offer_id":51432367259954,"sku":"CUBFSXGR","price":234.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Left Hand","offer_id":51432367292722,"sku":"CUBFSXGL","price":234.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4244\/4082\/files\/39322307461209.jpg?v=1783406571","url":"https:\/\/tacklepro.shop\/products\/shimano-curado-bfs-baitcasting-reels","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
