Nako Flight Feather Cormorant BFS Reel 30S Left

An Ultra-Light BFS Reel Designed for Finesse Casting

The Nako Flight Feather Cormorant BFS Reel 30S Left is an ultra-light bait finesse (BFS) reel designed for anglers who enjoy casting extremely light lures with a baitcasting setup.

Weighing only 127 g, this reel is built around a lightweight spool weighing just 3.4 g, allowing it to cast lures from approximately 0.6 g. This makes it an excellent choice for finesse anglers who want the control and accuracy of baitcasting while using lure weights normally associated with spinning tackle.

The 8.2:1 high-speed gear ratio provides 77 cm of line recovery per crank, making it particularly effective for techniques where quickly picking up slack line is important. With 5 kg of maximum drag and 11+1 bearings, the Cormorant 30S offers an impressive combination of lightweight performance, speed, and smooth operation.

This reel is in perfect condition, with only a few tiny scratches. It operates smoothly, like new.

Best Lures & Techniques

Micro Hard Baits

• Small Jerkbaits
• Tiny Minnows
• Micro Crankbaits
• Small Topwater Lures

Finesse Soft Plastics

• Small Worms
• Tiny Craws
• Micro Creature Baits
• Small Paddle Tail Swimbaits

Light Jigs

• Micro Jigs
• Small Ned Rigs
• Small Shaky Heads
• Light Texas Rigs

Trout & Panfish

• Small Spoons
• Inline Spinners
• Small Crankbaits
• Micro Soft Plastics

The reel is particularly effective when you need to cast a very light lure accurately to tight targets, such as the edges of vegetation, small pockets, docks, rocks, or structure.

Recommended Rod Setup

To take full advantage of the Cormorant 30S, pair it with a dedicated BFS or Light baitcasting rod.

UL / Light BFS Rod — approximately 0.8–7 g

Ideal for:

• Micro Jigs
• Small Crankbaits
• Small Jerkbaits
• Ned Rigs
• Small soft plastics

Recommended rods:

• Shimano Poison Adrena 265UL-S
• Raid Japan Gladiator Anti GA-62BF BF Tricker
• Shimano Zodias BFS / UL casting models
• Megabass Levante Light / Finesse casting models

For a dedicated BFS setup, a 6'0"–6'6" UL or Light rod paired with this reel and PE 0.6–0.8 braid would provide an excellent combination of sensitivity, casting control, and light-lure performance.

Recommended Line Setup

Ultra-Light BFS

• PE 0.4–0.6
• Fluorocarbon leader: 3–5 lb

General BFS

• PE 0.6–0.8
• Fluorocarbon leader: 4–6 lb

Light Cover

• PE 0.8–1.0
• Fluorocarbon leader: 6–8 lb

Using a lighter line will generally help the 3.4 g spool reach its full casting potential, particularly when working with lures around 0.6–2 g.
