Shimano SLX BFS SLX BFS XG

The SLX BFS (Bait Finesse System) is Shimano’s most affordable ultra-finesse baitcaster and forms part of the highly popular SLX reel family. This impressive, lightweight reel is perfectly designed for fishing with ultra-light lures and can handle lures weighing as little as 1 g. This makes it a genuine alternative to the smallest spinning reels. If you are a specialist in light lures and are looking for a dedicated BFS baitcaster for fishing with finesse techniques, the SLX BFS is an excellent choice. The SLX BFS has been developed for the smallest lures and, thanks to the adjustable FTB (Fine Tune Brake) technology, can cast lures as light as 1g. If you have previously used spinning reels for finesse techniques, you will immediately appreciate the advantages of this BFS baitcaster.

A quick flick of the rod tip is all it takes to send even the lightest lure on its way. The SLX BFS is ideal for targeted fishing for perch and trout. But it can also handle larger fish that have taken to small lures. What’s more, thanks to its low weight, the Curado BFS is extremely comfortable to use and causes no fatigue. The SLX BFS’s impressive bait finesse casting performance is achieved through Shimano’s FTB system (Finesse Tune Braking), which features magnets in the side plate that transmit adjustable braking force directly to the spool. By adjusting the braking force, the magnets are moved closer (for a stronger braking effect) or further away, whilst the spool itself remains free of moving parts, enabling exceptionally smooth and low-friction rotation.

Performance is further optimised by the S3D spool design and Super Free Spool technology. Within the lightweight aluminium HAGANE body, precision gears, ball bearings and the exclusive X-SHIP technology ensure powerful and smooth reeling performance, whilst the Cross Carbon Drag and Exciting Drag Sound provide improved control and satisfying acoustic feedback during the fight.
