New SLX BFS is coming

[Hobie-Wan Kenobi]

Not hard to see the chassis isn't a run of the mill SLX...

Looks like a Curado i70 repurposed with SLX slapped on the side?

Definitely a curado 70. Stripped down Scorpion BFS I guess?

That's my guess. Heavier spool too

[Slazmo]

Product line overloading if you ask me.

Another angle of the Curado i70 BFS...

Gotta compete with the Tatula line

And the doner reel...

So the Curado and Scorpion go hand in hand.

Can't wait to see a Curado SLX in time.

Nice...a real contender reel for ice fishing purpose

What Ice rods do you like with a casting reel?

Mine are custom made since there isn't a market for it. Or rather to say, it's a niche market. Near twenty years ago I got Thorne Bros. to custom make some bait casting ice rods for me and it was a tough to fulfill request. They almost refuse to build it because the specs I wanted was sort of nonexistent. I finally got them to build to specs on a Panfissh Sweetheart blank as a reversed spinning rod and it's been the best ice fishing rod ever. Had found myself the Chronarch 50Mg reel on it since afterwards.

I use BFS reels for ice fishing too. I just use those cheap HT blue/orange glass rods. Do the job

Haat Rods make some great ice rods for big fish using both spinning and casting reel seats. Tuned Up also has a Lake Trout Precision with a casting reel seat.
