{"product_id":"curado-bfs","title":"Shimano Curado BFS Casting Reel","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"608\" data-start=\"240\"\u003eRedefining finesse baitcasting performance, the Shimano Curado BFS Casting Reel brings cutting-edge Japanese engineering to anglers looking to throw lighter lures with precision and control. Designed for tournament anglers and finesse specialists, this reel excels with thin-diameter lines and lightweight presentations that traditional baitcasters struggle to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1068\" data-start=\"610\"\u003eAt the core is an ultralight shallow spool that requires minimal startup force, allowing for effortless casting of small baits. Paired with Shimano’s innovative Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system, the braking unit is relocated to the palming side plate—reducing spool weight and improving responsiveness. This system uses centrifugal force to apply braking only when needed, automatically adjusting throughout the cast for greater distance and reduced backlash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1265\" data-start=\"1070\"\u003eFor anglers who demand fine-tuned performance, the FTB system allows for the addition or removal of individual magnets, making it easy to dial in settings for varying lure weights and conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1623\" data-start=\"1267\"\u003eBuilt with Shimano’s premium technologies, including a Hagane Body for durability, X-Ship for enhanced gear efficiency, and S3D spool design for smooth rotation, the Curado BFS offers both strength and refinement. Additional features like Cross Carbon Drag, S A-RB bearings, and Super Free Spool ensure smooth, consistent performance from cast to retrieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1805\" data-start=\"1625\"\u003ePerfect for targeting pressured fish with downsized presentations, the Shimano Curado BFS Casting Reel delivers unmatched finesse capability in a compact, high-performance package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1826\" data-start=\"1807\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1824\" data-start=\"1807\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2335\" data-start=\"1827\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1885\" data-start=\"1827\" data-section-id=\"heaumw\"\u003eUltralight shallow spool for casting lightweight lures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1947\" data-start=\"1886\" data-section-id=\"1tt0db4\"\u003eFinesse Tune Brake (FTB) system for precise spool control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2006\" data-start=\"1948\" data-section-id=\"1kseza7\"\u003eAdjustable magnetic braking for fine-tuned performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2050\" data-start=\"2007\" data-section-id=\"9bddo8\"\u003eHagane Body for durability and rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2111\" data-start=\"2051\" data-section-id=\"1rp1g3g\"\u003eX-Ship technology for smooth, efficient gear performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2168\" data-start=\"2112\" data-section-id=\"ccrrfi\"\u003eS3D spool for reduced vibration and improved casting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2222\" data-start=\"2169\" data-section-id=\"ojdd7p\"\u003eCross Carbon Drag for smooth, consistent pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2267\" data-start=\"2223\" data-section-id=\"o0e03k\"\u003eS A-RB bearings for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2335\" data-start=\"2268\" data-section-id=\"hwd2gi\"\u003eSuper Free Spool for reduced friction and better casting distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 16.6065%;\"\u003e Model:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 10.8303%;\"\u003eRetrieve:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 13.1769%;\"\u003eGear Ratio:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.7726%;\"\u003eInches Per Turn:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 9.46171%;\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 17.9751%;\"\u003eLine Capactiy:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.0108%;\"\u003eBearings:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 16.6065%;\"\u003eCUBFSXGL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 10.8303%;\"\u003eLeft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 13.1769%;\"\u003e8.2:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.7726%;\"\u003e32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 9.46171%;\"\u003e6.2oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 17.9751%;\"\u003e8lb\/50yd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.0108%;\"\u003e7BB+1RB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 16.6065%;\"\u003eCUBFSXGR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 10.8303%;\"\u003eRight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 13.1769%;\"\u003e8.2:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.7726%;\"\u003e32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 9.46171%;\"\u003e6.2oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 17.9751%;\"\u003e8lb\/50yd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.0108%;\"\u003e7BB+1RB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"SHIMANO","offers":[{"title":"LEFT HAND \/ 8.2:1","offer_id":43298019672154,"sku":"210000137568","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"RIGHT HAND \/ 8.2:1","offer_id":43298019639386,"sku":"210000110708","price":234.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4431\/1898\/files\/rs-2026-05-01T125948.338.webp?v=1777658420","url":"https:\/\/gellcooutdoors.com\/products\/curado-bfs","provider":"Gellco Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
