The SLX BFS (available in both right- and left-handed versions) represents the rebirth of the popular SLX baitcaster, but now with greatly refined casting performance designed specifically to satisfy the highest demands of BFS (bait finesse system) fans, who demand a revolving drum reel capable of effectively casting the lightest lure weights available. A newly engineered ultra-light and super-shallow duralumin spool enables these very light weights to be cast using a low trajectory for enhanced accuracy, especially in tight corners. The efficiency of the FTB centrifugal magnetic braking system resists backlash and allows repeated long or short accurate casts to be performed smoothly. Other features, such as the lightweight but highly rigid HAGANE BODY and durable CARBON CROSS WASHER for smooth drag performance (with audible clicker) are also incorporated into the SLX BFS, making it perfect for finesse bait system (BFS) work in both salt and freshwater environments
