SLX BFS has been reborn with refined casting performance. The newly equipped ultra-super duralumin spool is excellent in handling lightweight lures and enables to release lures with a low trajectory. Excellent compatibility with the centrifugal magnet brake FTB that resists backlash and allows long casts to be performed smoothly. Basic features, such as the lightweight & highly rigid HAGANE BODY and CARBON CROSS WASHER for smooth drag performance, are also included. This is one you can use in estaury, creeks or freshwater streams.

Product Description
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.

The fun of bait finesse is not limited to bream and bass, but continues to expand in many areas. The SLX BFS is equipped with full basic performance to handle a variety of environments and targets. It has a lightweight and highly rigid HAGANE body, a carbon cross washer that achieves smooth drag performance, and an exciting drag sound that captivates the angler's heart with its exhilarating sound, allowing you to concentrate on the battle with your target. You can play finesse games in a wide range of fields, from mountain streams to light salt.
