Shimano 25 SLX BFS XG Baitcast Reel

If you are a lightweight lure specialist and are looking to buy a specialised baitcasting reel for finesse lure fishing, the SLX BFS is a great choice. Designed for the smallest of lures, the SLX BFS casts superbly thanks to the adjustable FTB (Fine Tune Brake) technology and enables you to work efficiently with lures as small as 1g. If you have previously used spinning reels for ultra finesse fishing you will instantly appreciate the benefits of this model. A quick flick of the rod tip will launch the lightest lures into an almost friction-free flight. Ideal for targeting trout, perch, or even fooling wary larger fish that are ignoring larger lures, the lightweight approach has a lot going for it and with the SLX BFS you have the perfect reel to maximise your success.

Shimano's original brake mechanism FTB (Finesse Tune Brake System) reduces problems such as backlash and allows you to cast light lures without stress. This is Shimano's original brake mechanism that combines a centrifugal magnetic brake that changes depending on the rotation speed with a spool that has been made lighter by eliminating the brake unit. Based on this core technology, the new SLX BFS is equipped with a lighter, lower inertia ultra-super duralumin spool with a diameter of 32 mm and a width of 22 mm. It sends lightweight lures to the target point with a low trajectory that crawls on the water surface without any trouble, demonstrating casting performance that approaches that of higher-end models.

Lightweight yet with comprehensive basic specifications that make it useful in a wide range of fields.

You can play finesse games in a wide range of fields, from mountain streams to light salt.
