The 2025 Shimano Curado BFS Baitcast Reel delivers next-level finesse fishing performance in a compact, low-profile baitcasting design. Developed for tournament anglers and serious fishers, the Curado BFS (Bait Finesse System) is inspired by the renowned Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) to meet the growing demand for lighter lure casting with extreme precision.
This baitcaster features a lightweight, shallow spool engineered for thin diameter lines, allowing anglers to cast ultra-light lures effortlessly. Powered by Shimano’s innovative Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system, the Curado BFS removes excess weight from the spool and optimises centrifugal force for controlled, accurate casts. Adjustable with external dials and removable magnets, this system prevents backlash while maximising casting distance.
Built with a Hagane Body for superior rigidity and strength, combined with X-Ship Technology for enhanced gear durability, the Curado BFS withstands the harshest battles without flex. Additional performance enhancements include SilentTune, Cross Carbon Drag, Exciting Drag Sound, S3D Spool, S A-RB Bearings, and Super Free Spool, each designed to improve smoothness, durability, and casting efficiency.
The 2025 Shimano Curado BFS is the perfect tool for downsizing your presentation to catch finicky fish, delivering the finesse, power, and reliability demanded by top anglers around the world.
