The LEVANTE BFS spec-UL is a high-performance bait finesse rod designed to bring ultralight bank fishing and crossover trout techniques to life with delightful precision, sensitivity and control.
Tuned specifically for Megabass’ BFS lure lineup and select Great Hunting trout lures, it delivers crisp, rhythmic action that enlivens angler-activated plugs like the KARASHI, BABY POPX, and GH-51 (FS), while exhibiting the graceful absorption that makes small cranks like the SR-X GRIFFON (BFS) a joy to fish. Its slow-taper design enables aggressive walking actions, expanded darting range, and smooth cranking performance, while offering the kind of sensitivity that transmits first shimmy of an X-80 Jr. straight into the angler’s hands.
The BFS spec-UL’s smooth and intuitive load characteristics empower low-trajectory casting of small jigs and weightless soft plastics into tight windows. This allows anglers to accurately target overhanging cover with ease and efficiency, traditionally reserved for ultralight spinning gear.
Built on the LEVANTE X-Graphite System, the BFS spec-UL delivers Megabass performance and ample low-end power to handle unexpected big fish and light cover. Delivering a refined, ultralight bait finesse experience that is equally at home chasing bass from the bank or wading for trout in small rivers and streams, the BFS spec-UL is a true joy in hand.
LEVANTE’s proprietary high-density
layered graphite construction focuses on material efficiency and action consistency. By
reducing excess resin and optimizing layer patterning for each model, the blank delivers
improved balance and recovery while maintaining the durability required for daily use.
The result is a responsive yet stable feel that enhances casting precision and lure
control without sacrificing forgiveness.
Matched to each rod’s taper and intended application,
Megabass’s original guide layout prioritizes smooth energy transfer and feel. This
system supports LEVANTE’s strong casting performance and controlled load distribution,
allowing anglers to cover water efficiently while maintaining accuracy and feel.
Precision-machined from solid aluminum, this lightweight hood provides secure reel mounting and consistent rigidity while contributing to overall balance and durability.
LEVANTE incorporates ITO-designed ergonomic reel seats developed to support natural hand positioning and intuitive control. Minimalist contact surfaces reduce unnecessary material while preserving stability, comfort, and sensitivity across both casting and spinning applications.
Built for power fishing, the sculpted design and long trigger provide overwhelming grip for big bait and heavy cover applications. Whether one or two-finger casting or utilizing a full-palm retrieve, ITS is designed to accommodate various grip styles with confidence.
The fast-back design of the reel seat bridge fits deep in the palm of the hand, providing increased contact points to improve feel and control in spinning applications. The IES’s sweeping, tapered fore-grip allows direct contact with the exposed blank, enhancing the kind of delicate bite-detection that is required in deep finesse fishing.
How did a hardcore tournament bass angler end up with an ultra-lightweight baitcasting rod, 4lb test and a 4g lure? In retrospect, it’s not hard to see how Justin Perelli’s passion for bass fishing morphed into a bait finesse trout obsession, but his path certainly took him on a long and winding road.

Few techniques match the excitement of topwater fishing in the summer. However, while many lures will catch fish, choosing smaller topwater lures for early summer fishing is one surefire ticket to success. When shad and various panfish species begin spawning in late spring, early summer sees a surge in smaller forage roaming lakes and ponds. […]
Where MAGDRAFT Excels The rigged MAGDRAFT is built around three features. The patented Mag-Hold system, category-defining action, a hookup percentage that held up across seasons, forage types, and bass species. It was built for shallow water, and inside that zone it has no equal. Bassmaster pro Kenta Kimura has fished the MAGDRAFT on two continents, […]
