Shimano SLX BFS 25 XG Right Handed Baitcaster Reel

The Shimano 25 SLX BFS XG Right Handed Baitcaster Reel is designed for anglers who enjoy finesse fishing with ultra-lightweight lures. Combining a lightweight, ultra-shallow duralumin spool with Shimano's advanced FTB centrifugal magnetic braking system, it delivers accurate casting performance, smooth spool rotation and excellent control.

Built with a highly rigid HAGANE BODY and X SHIP gearing, the SLX BFS provides reliable gear support and durability in a lightweight design. Its 8.2:1 high-speed gear ratio retrieves approximately 82cm of line per handle turn, making it ideal for precision lure presentations and quickly recovering slack line.

Suitable for both freshwater and light saltwater applications, this right-handed baitcasting reel is an excellent choice for anglers exploring BFS fishing.

Key Features

• Ultra-Light Duralumin Spool: The newly engineered ultra-light and super-shallow spool is designed to handle lightweight lures and support accurate, low-trajectory casting.

• FTB (Finesse Tune Brake): Shimano's centrifugal magnetic braking system helps control spool speed and reduce backlash while maintaining smooth casting performance.

• HAGANE BODY: A highly rigid reel body provides excellent impact resistance and helps minimise body flex under load.

• X SHIP: Supports the pinion gear at both ends to maintain precise alignment with the drive gear, improving gear durability and winding efficiency.

• Cross Carbon Drag: Provides smooth drag release and reliable performance with enhanced durability.

• S3D Spool: Reduces spool vibration for a smoother casting feel.

• S A-RB Bearings: Shielded bearings on both sides help reduce the entry of salt and sand that may affect bearing rotation.

• Super Free Spool: Reduces friction on the spool shaft during casting to improve casting performance.

• Exciting Drag Sound: Provides an audible drag sound when line is released.
