baitcaster combo white Abu Garcia Veritas Baitcasting Paired with a sensitive IM7 graphite rod and a split grip Winn Dri White Bird Casting Combo 7'2"

The low-profile one-piece reel cage offers huge gains in strength over the now outdated fixed crossbars that could so easily distort under load

The cheapest retail prices for this reel are available on Aliexpress: Up to $200 (Ultralight Bass Fishing Reel) While the Dark Wolf Ultra still wins out for casting down to 1-g (unless you get an aftermarket spool), the build quality and casting performance offered by Shimano in their Curado BFS is fantastic for bass fishing applications and larger lures over 2.5g

Moreover, their lures are expensive, a single lure can range from $3.5 to $7

Balanced and keenly sensitive to help you feel slack-line bites on the pause, BFS Winch Casting Rods are adorned with ultralight ROCS (Robotically Optimized Casting System) titanium guides with zirconium inserts to ensure long, accurate casts
