The Shimano Ascenza BFS Rod Range is purpose-built for anglers who demand unmatched precision, control, and finesse from their baitcasting setup. Designed specifically for Bait Finesse System (BFS) fishing, these ultra-light rods deliver effortless casting accuracy with even the lightest of lures.
Both models feature Fuji K Alconite guides in a spiral-wrap configuration, reducing torque while maintaining perfect line flow for smooth, consistent casting. The 30/40-ton graphite blank construction provides exceptional sensitivity and crisp response, while the Fuji skeleton reel seat and custom split-grip EVA handle keep the rod lightweight and perfectly balanced.
The shorter Ascenza BFS 602UL excels in tight, overgrown creeks and snaggy structure where pinpoint accuracy is essential. The longer Ascenza BFS 732UL offers extended reach and power for open water or longer casts. Pair either with a Shimano SLX BFS or Curado BFS reel for the ultimate ultra-light baitcasting combo.
