The Shimano Curado BFS Baitcast Reel is built for anglers who demand precision when fishing with lightweight lures. Based on the proven Curado platform and inspired by advanced Japanese design, it delivers tournament-level finesse performance for casting accuracy and control.
At its core is a lightweight, shallow spool designed specifically for BFS applications, allowing effortless casting with ultralight lures and fine lines. Shimano’s Finesse Tune Brake system combines centrifugal and magnetic braking to optimise spool control, reduce backlash and maximise casting distance. With external adjustments and removable magnets, it offers complete tuning flexibility on the water.
The Hagane body provides strength and rigidity, eliminating flex under load, while X-Ship technology keeps the gearing aligned for smooth and efficient cranking. Advanced features such as SilentTune and S3D spool technology reduce vibration for quieter, more consistent casting, while Super Free Spool minimises friction to improve performance.
Equipped with S A-RB corrosion-resistant bearings, the Curado BFS is built to handle both freshwater and light saltwater use. The Cross Carbon Drag system delivers smooth, reliable pressure, enhanced by an audible drag sound for added feedback during the fight.
Compact, refined and highly responsive, the Shimano Curado BFS is ideal for targeting species like bream, bass, trout and perch, giving anglers the control and finesse needed to fish light presentations with confidence.
