BFS going mainstream? Curado BFS
Re: BFS going mainstream? Curado BFS
It'd be nice if this move leads to Shimano bringing over more of their BFS rods to the U.S. I'm pretty sure the only rod they currently offer is the 172ml BFS Expride.

More rod offerings would be primo! Especially some trout rods
Re: BFS going mainstream? Curado BFS
Just for perspective, did a quick search and the first mention of BFS on TT here, was in 2011:

We have to see if the Curado BFS is gonna have the ability to hang with the "trout BFS" reels with that stock spool.eklikewhoa wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 6:28 amMore rod offerings would be primo! Especially some trout rods
I would love some trout rods for BFS in the USA. That however, is a niche within a niche.

Re: BFS going mainstream? Curado BFS
What a wonderfull transition from heavy fishing to baitcasting finesse fishing for a mainstrean in just 10 years! Hoping that common people finds new BFS tackle such usable for everyday fishing, that we'll see more and more BFS tackle. Thanks for Shimano for created reasonable priced decent BFS reel! Now Daiwa should create BFS Tatula!Johnny A wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 8:07 amJust for perspective, did a quick search and the first mention of BFS on TT here, was in 2011:

Re: BFS going mainstream? Curado BFS
Awesome! 10 years and I have spent dollars equivalent to a used Porsche on BFS/trout tackle - I would also like to thank TT, my family not so much...Hobie-Wan Kenobi wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 8:32 amThis place is what started my BFS addiction...thanks TackleTourJohnny A wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 8:07 amJust for perspective, did a quick search and the first mention of BFS on TT here, was in 2011:

Despite of fact that Porsches are one of the best quality cars in the World, In my opinion you have done excellent choise .

It may not have been referred to as "Bait Finesse" at the time, but our first review of a finesse tuned bait casting reel was actually in 2004 with the limited edition, yellow Pixy by Daiwa:Johnny A wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 8:07 amJust for perspective, did a quick search and the first mention of BFS on TT here, was in 2011:

Daiwa attempted to introduce the movement to US anglers by bringing the PX68 across the pond a year after they debuted the PX68 in Japan. It was still a pricey reel though, so it didn't take off:

Re: BFS going mainstream? Curado BFS
That’s true. I remember quite a few folks, myself included, used the original Silver Mica Pixy with 6, 8 and 10 lb test, with my Megabass F2-57X "Reservoir Dog" and a Megabass Pop-X.Cal wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 10:47 amIt may not have been referred to as "Bait Finesse" at the time, but our first review of a finesse tuned bait casting reel was actually in 2004 with the limited edition, yellow Pixy by Daiwa:Johnny A wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 8:07 amJust for perspective, did a quick search and the first mention of BFS on TT here, was in 2011:

Sweetness...yea, it's a ton of fun.SSS wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 4:37 amI use it on everything (but primarily lead heads, yea), just swapping rods. Been fishing walleye with bfs gear for over five years at this point, and i could never see myself going back. Just trying a buddy spinning setup for walleye feels like a massive downgrade and way less fun on the water.
I've been using a Conquest 51S on a Dobyns DX 701C for lead head duties, and the smile factor is through the roof.
Re: BFS going mainstream? Curado BFS
Now we just need more BFS rods available domestically. I know there are a few but not many...
