Avail Microcast Spool for Shimano 21 SLX BFS – Your upgrade for ultralight casts!
🎣 For finesse fanatics & precision freaks!
Welcome to the Champions League of Bait Finesse Performance! 🚀 With the Avail Microcast Spool, you transform your Shimano 21 SLX BFS & 17 Scorpion BFS into a high-precision machine for light lures and perfect casts.
"What does that bring you? Butter-soft casts with light jigs, weightless rigs, or finesse setups – no jerking, no "Come on, fly already!" frustration. This reel makes your life simply better."
🔧 Two spool depths – Choose your setup!
✔ 21SLX15R (1.5 mm spool depth) – Ideal for 4-6 lb fluorocarbon or PE lines
💡 Perfect for: Drop Shot, Neko Rig, ultra-light hardbaits
✔ 21SLX29R (2.9 mm spool depth) – For 10-12 lb lines & slightly heavier rigs
💡 Perfect for: Texas Rigs (3.5-9 g), small jigs, chatterbaits
➡️ In short: The flatter the spool, the lighter the line and finer the tackle. The deeper the spool, the more line capacity for all-round setups.

🔧 Installation & Important Tips
🛠 Additional magnets recommended for model 21SLX15R!
- Due to the flat design, the brake is positioned further away, resulting in less braking force.
- Solution? Additional 4 x 1 mm magnets (up to 8 pieces, sold separately) simply place on the existing ones – the Finesse dream setup is ready!

⚠ Avoid "Thumbing" on the spool edge!
- Pressing directly on the edge can damage the anodizing.
- Instead, always stop on the changing surface!
⚠ Rewind the cord with care!
- Especially do not wrap too tightly with nylon – otherwise there will be unsightly pressure marks.
⚠ Check & oil the bearings!
- Factory-treated with rust protection grease – degrease & lightly oil before first use for perfect performance!
