About this piece
The Shimano 20 Barchetta F Custom 150 is a lightweight baitcasting reel built around a fall lever for precise slow-fall control. It inherits core technologies like HAGANE Body and X-Protect from the premium Barchetta series while shedding over 30g, making it the lightest fall-lever model in the lineup. This single-handle version is tuned for power-oriented saltwater applications such as flounder and light jigging.
