Danny, I’ve grown up feathering a spinning reel and have a couple of nice BC reels in the shop but not bfs. I don’t handle the BC reels enough to be as good as I once was. One of them is a Shimano curado which was the bomb at the time and I’m sure has been left in the dust by now. For me they’re a green fish tool using heavier baits in any conditions except wind. I’ve even toyed with the idea of selling them.
