Shimano Curado BFS XG/Shimano Artiesta BFS Spiral Wrap 7'3" 2pc 1-4kg/ Shimano Kairiki 8+ 6lb 150m - Green

Curado BFS XG

The new Curado BFS (Bait Finesse System) expands the Curado lineup of low-profile reels while redefining finesse fishing for tournament anglers. Inspired by the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), the new Curado BFS utilises an ultralightweight shallow spool designed for thinner diameter lines to allow anglers to cast lightweight lures more effectively than traditional low-profile models. The Curado BFS incorporates Shimano's Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system to reduce the spool's weight by moving the braking unit from the spool to the palming side-plate. The result: the spool takes minimal force to turn and allows anglers to effectively cast lightweight tackle. Unlike traditional magnetic brake systems that maintain the same drag on the spool throughout the cast, Shimano's FTB capitalizes on the cast's centrifugal force and the magnetic brakes automatically adjust to slow down the spool only when braking is needed. Fully adjustable, anglers can fine-tune the FTB with the external dial or by adding or removing individual magnets as needed. The perfect antidote for picky fish, the Curado BFS is the ideal tool for anglers to downsize baits to increase their success on the water.

Shimano Artiesta BFS Spiral Wrap 7'3"in 2pc 1-4kg

Designed specifically to suit the increasingly popular Bait Finesse System (BFS) style of ultra-light baitcaster fishing, this premium rod is your ticket to maximum casting precision and ultimate lure control with even the lightest of casting weights. Featuring genuine Fuji SiC guides configured in a weight-saving and torque-reducing spiral wrap design, as well as a customised reel seat and a slim-line, ergonomic grip, the Shimano Artiesta is perfectly suited to the rapid, precision presentation of lures to trout, bream and other finesse fishing targets, especially at close range and in tight, snag-studded waters. The Shimano Artiesta BFS rod matches perfectly with a Shimano Curado BFS or Calcutta BFS reel. 

Shimano Kairiki 8+ 6lb 150m - Green

Kairiki 8 from Shimano adopts the new VT construction braiding technology. Featuring 8 carriers and incorporating premium Japanese manufacturing, the new tight weave VT construction is created through applying high tension at opposing directions during the braiding process. During the VT Construction Method, the braid fibre is woven evenly at all angles – resulting in a smoother finish and reduced diameter. The casting performance of the line is significantly improved as the smooth finish creates less friction through the guides and cast noise is also reduced. The tight weave achieves enhanced sensitivity achieved through the lower stretch. These attributes make Kairiki 8 an excellent choice when high sensitivity and castability are all required to give that extra edge against your target species.
