I know the Curado BFS is coming out like soon. Just wondering when the release date for the SLX BFS will be for the U.S. market. I already have a casting rod in mind for the SLX BFS, it's not the Dobyns Sierra BFS rod. I checked out he Phenix Feather, 7'1", light 1/16-3/8oz casting rod. Such a nice light rod that will compliment the SLX BFS. And it's cheaper than the Dobyns Sierra BFS rod.
Reason I'm not wanting the Curado BFS is, I bought the Curado MGL a month ago and that is such a nice reel. I don't need another Curado, since I also added the Curado DC. If the SLX BFS is similar to the Curado BFS, but lower price; I want one!
Shimano SLX BFS Casting Reel?

I think the USDM Curado BFS is cheaper than the JDM SLX BFS.
Re: Shimano SLX BFS Casting Reel?
JDM SLX is definitely cheaper than the US curado BFS

Re: Shimano SLX BFS Casting Reel?
They are both pretty much the same reel. The way drag star clicks is the biggest difference outside of color. I have both and fish both just the same.
