Overview

Perfect Reel For Finesse Fishing

The Kestrel Elite BFS (Bait Finesse System) baitcasting reel is the lightest on the market weighing only 4.4 ounces! This reel allows anglers to effortlessly cast lightweight baits farther with greater accuracy while nearly eliminating backlashes. Plus, the minimal weight and comfortable, compact size make the Kestrel Elite a breeze to fish with all day long!

Advanced Braking Technology

The FAF (Flyout Arc Finesse) Braking system was designed specifically for finesse fishing. Two half-ring magnetic brakes automatically adjust to slow down the spool when braking is needed to prevent backlashes. As the speed of the spool decreases, the magnetic field inside the spool diminishes and the magnets retract to maximize casting distance. There is also an external fingertip brake adjustment dial for fine tuning spool speeds for smaller baits.

Innovative Spool

The ultra-lightweight BFS shallow feather spool weighs only 5.6 grams! The smaller spool excels at handling the smaller diameter lines best suited for finesse fishing. The shallow spool requires less effort to turn and get up to speed, therefore enabling anglers to effectively cast lures down to 1/32 oz.

Strength Without The Weight

The compact Palm Perfect design (36.5mm height) and magnesium frame reduces the total reel weight to only 4.4 oz. Although the reel is as light as a feather, it doesn't skimp on power. The main gear and shaft are constructed of hard anodized aluminum and linked to a 100% brass pinion gear. A carbon handle and side plates also keep the weight low while maintaining strength.

Advanced Line Guide

The patented LFTV (Low Friction Tapered Vortex) Line Guide decreases the angle at which the line enters the guide, limiting friction during casts. Straighter line and reduced friction results in fewer backlashes and greater distance on casts, both of which are qualities highly desirable among serious finesse anglers.

Its my new fav. Its truly excellent imo.

Absolutely love the quality of this bfs reel

Nice real

I was skeptical about the quality of this real after using it I can honestly say it competes with my diawa 70 and curado BFS reels

Kestrel Elite BFS

It pairs exceptionally well with the Kestrel casting feather light rod. The overall performance is very smooth and as advertised with an unmatched power to weight ratio at 4.5 ounces.

So good I sent my Aldebaran back.

I hooked into a big bass in a small pond with my Aldebaran and the drag just didn’t allow me to haul it in. Even cranking while pulling it would strip line and get some slack which, sure enough, it used to toss the lure. I barely landed a non-brush encumbered bass that was 2.25lbs on the other side of the lake.

The Kestrel Elite was a whole other store. I managed to haul in that same bass that I couldn’t get before with the Aldebaran. He weighed 3.05 lbs and probably had a pound of brush come along with him. Went around the pond and pulled a 2.65 lbs bass out of some more brush and up over some sharp foliage at the edge.

There was simply no comparison. Before making a final decision I went back today and got hit hard with the same big bass and once again watched with the drag on the Aldebaran locked down as I futilely reeled and watched it pop the bait and swim off.

Back goes the Aldebaran and another Kestrel Elite will be on its way shortly.
