Unboxing the 2025 Limited Edition Pink Purelure DC Reel
The World of Bait Finesse System (BFS) Fishing
For anglers seeking precision and technical mastery, Bait Finesse System (BFS) represents the pinnacle of specialized fishing techniques. Unlike traditional fishing methods, BFS focuses on ultra-light lures and incredibly precise casting, demanding equipment that can match its nuanced approach. This limited edition Purelure DC Reel emerges as a testament to the evolving sophistication of fishing gear.

First Impressions: More Than Just a Pretty Reel
When I first unboxed the limited edition pink Purelure DC Reel, it was clear this wasn’t just another fishing accessory. Priced around $144 during a sale, the reel immediately stands out with its understated yet premium aesthetic. Unlike garish neon designs, this version features a soft metallic pink finish that whispers elegance rather than shouting for attention.
Unboxing Extras
The package included some intriguing bonuses – specifically, a set of translucent greenish paddletail swimbaits. While the packaging was predominantly in Chinese, these free lures appeared to be high-quality PVC baits, a welcome addition for anglers looking to expand their tackle collection.
Technical Mastery: The Digital Control (DC) Braking System
The heart of this reel lies in its revolutionary digital control braking system, a technology that sets it apart from conventional fishing reels.
Self-Generating Power: Innovation at Its Finest
Perhaps the most fascinating feature is the reel’s self-generating power capabilities. Unlike traditional electronic devices requiring external charging, this Purelure DC Reel generates power through:
- Normal casting motions
- Rotation of the reel handle
- Potential electromagnetic induction similar to Shimano’s advanced systems
This means the reel’s internal battery can potentially extend its operational life through your natural fishing movements.
Advanced Brake Control Explained
The electromagnetic digital braking system offers:
- Infinitely variable brake adjustments
- Constant monitoring of spool rotation speed
- Two distinct modes: Professional (Master) and Normal (Beginner)
The system promises a flat trajectory and exceptional responsiveness, catering to anglers across different skill levels.
The “master” or Professional mode will be more focused on applying gentle DC control, maximizing distance. While the Beginner mode applies significantly more braking, and is aimed at preventing backlashes.
Maybe I’ll have my wife try it out this year to see how well it achieves that goal. Love you, honey!
One potential downside is that the DC braking system requires you to turn the brake dial past maximum, make a cast, and it will then switch modes. Then you set the brake dial as needed. On my original, and while playing around with this new one at the desk, switching modes isn;t always that easy.
Plus, the lights are supposed to be blue and red, and on mine, they are green and red.
The plus side is that once you have your mode selected, you will rarely need to change it. And I did find it to be very effective while fishing the original model last year. It’s a large part of why I purchased this new version.

And it just occurred to me, I have never talked about the Purelure DC reel on this blog! Even in my big Aliexpress Sale overview last fall! Well, I’m glad that’s changing today! It’s a great performance-to-value option for BFS fishermen.
Who Will Love This Reel?
This reel is perfect for:
- Dedicated BFS anglers seeking cutting-edge technology
- Fishing enthusiasts who appreciate unique, limited-edition gear
- Precision-focused anglers exploring mountain streams and technical fishing environments
- And beginner BFS or baitcast fishermen who want more forgiveness and less backlashes
Potential Limitations
While impressive, the reel’s digital mode switching might require some on-water testing to fully understand its nuanced functionality. The mode indicator lights only activate during spool rotation, which could present a slight learning curve.
And honestly – there’s the durability question. Will PureLure’s DC system be as durable as a brand like Shimano? Only time will tell. but the reels are less than half the price of similar Shimano reels. And seem to have almost all the performance.
Final Verdict
The limited edition pink Purelure DC Reel represents more than just a fishing tool – it’s a statement of technological innovation and refined design. Its self-generating power system, advanced braking technology, and elegant aesthetic make it a standout piece of fishing equipment.
Tight lines and happy fishing!
