The latest addition to the Curado lineup of low-profile reels, the Curado BFS (Bait Finesse System), sets a new standard for finesse fishing among tournament anglers. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), the Curado BFS employs an ultralightweight shallow spool engineered for thinner diameter lines, enabling anglers to cast lightweight lures with greater efficiency compared to traditional low-profile models. Introducing Shimano's Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system, the Curado BFS redistributes the braking unit from the spool to the palming side-plate, significantly reducing the force required to turn the spool and facilitating effective casting with lightweight tackle. Unlike conventional magnetic brake systems that maintain consistent spool drag throughout the cast, Shimano's FTB capitalizes on centrifugal force during casting, automatically adjusting the magnetic brakes only when necessary to slow down the spool. Fully customizable, anglers can fine-tune the FTB using the external dial or by adding/removing individual magnets as needed. As an effective solution for selective fish, the Curado BFS proves to be an essential tool for anglers looking to downsize baits and enhance their success on the water.
