Left-handed casting reel SLX BFS XG

The SLX BFS (Bait Finesse System) is the most affordable ultra-finesse casting reel from Shimano, joining the very popular SLX range. Perfectly designed for ultra-light lure fishing, this impressive and lightweight reel can handle lures as light as 1 g, providing a serious alternative to smaller spinning reels.
If you're a specialist in light lures and looking to buy a dedicated casting reel for fine lure fishing, the SLX BFS is an excellent choice. Designed for the smallest lures, the SLX BFS delivers outstanding casting performance thanks to the adjustable FTB (Fine Tune Brake) technology that works effectively with lures of just 1g. If you've previously used spinning reels for ultra-fine fishing, you'll immediately appreciate the benefits of this model. A simple press on the tip of the rod allows the lightest lures to fly off almost frictionless. Ideal for targeting trout, perch, or even tricking wary predators that ignore larger lures, the light approach has many advantages, and with the SLX BFS, you have the perfect reel to maximise your chances of catching fish.
The impressive lightweight casting performance of the SLX BFS is due to the FTB (Finesse Tune Braking) system from Shimano, which includes magnets located in the side plate without a handle that apply an adjustable braking force directly on the spool. Adjusting the braking dial brings (for increased braking) or moves the magnets away, while keeping the spool itself free of moving parts, allowing for exceptionally smooth and low-resistance line release. Performance is enhanced by the S3D spool design and Super Free Spool technology. Housed in a lightweight HAGANE aluminium body, the precision gears, bearings, and X-SHIP ensure powerful and smooth winding, while the Drag Cross Carbon and Exciting Drag Sound provide better control and perfect sensory feedback when fishing for highly combative fish.
