Shimano expride b 7’2ml bfs lure ratings

[Fishydishy]

So I just received the expride bfs in the mail. I noticed the lure ratings are 3/16-3/4oz, which is different from the website. Anyone have any idea what this is?

Tacklewarehouse could be wrong. If you got it from them I wouldn’t worry about it

Not a BFS casting rod.

I'm with @WRB. I don't think its a BFS rod. Also, everything I've seen on this rod says 3/16 to 3/4.

 

When I was looking for a BFS rod, I thought this one was strange in that the part number (EXC72MLB) for this doesn't have BFS in it but the 6'8'' ML BFS does.

Before you send it back, think how you want to fish.  

It may be true the ML rod was listed improperly.  

That rod should fish a 1/10-oz loaded Ned and finesse spinnerbaits perfectly.  Should also be versatile fishing a range of crankbaits.  

It probably won't cast a 1/15-oz Ned, and probably not weightless plastics.    

"BFS" gets used improperly - it's the reel, and too often gets jammed into a limited peg hole. 

 

The rod is Baitfinesse  

You can use BFS reel on many set ups, to take advantage of the threadline you have loaded.
