The Shimano Curado is a special reel in the CURADO family designed for very small lures and UL fishing. With this reel it is possible to fish accurately and far with light lures, easily. The BFS stands for Bait Finesse System and behind the name lies Shimano's key innovations; X-Ship and HAGANE Body, which allow the reel to perform brilliantly at exactly what it was designed for.
At a fast 8.3:1 ratio, you can easily swim lures at different speeds and bounce lures on the bottom with just the reel, without using your free assist.
You can easily swim blade and spintail lures quickly past drifting bass in an attractive manner. The Curado BFS brake is soft and designed for thin lines, with this reel you won't break your lines on fatigue. Although the brake power is "only" 3.5kg its advantage comes into play for bass, pike and trout when you want to rely on the softness of your reel brake.
This brake is never designed to lock up. The Curado BFS has a 9g spool with an extremely low starting threshold and an incredibly responsive spool that will take your lure a long way. However, you can easily adjust your casting without line tangles.
