Shimano® Curado Casting Reel

Updated with technique-specific gear ratios and a new frame design that’s more lightweight than ever, the Curado G-Series still offers all the tournament-dominating performance that’s made it a favorite worldwide. Its High Efficiency Gearing system eliminates drivetrain flex and features an oversized drive gear and pinion for increased leverage, improved torque and maximum fish-fighting power. The adjustable Variable Braking System controls spool speed with centrifugal force, minimizing backlashes and maximizing casting distance in adverse conditions. Its Super Free® bearing-supported pinion system also reduces friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool, which translates to greater casting distance. Super-Stopper one-way, stainless steel roller bearing eliminates backplay for hard-hitting hooksets. Four shielded stainless steel ball bearings deliver ultrasmooth retrieves at any speed. Super-responsive Quickfire® II clutch bar offers easy one-handed casting. Wear-resistant Dartainium® Drag. One-piece aluminum frame with graphite sideplates for high-strength durability. Ultralightweight anodized-aluminum Magnumlite spool. Metal cast-control knob. Anodized-aluminum handle. Nonslip Septon grips.
