The Curado DC casting reel is Shimano's most advanced Curado ever produced. Built on the platform that has made the Curado name synonymous with durability and versatility, the Curado DC adds Shimano's NEW Digital Control Braking system. The DC Braking system uses a completely sealed microcomputer that analyzes the spool speed 1,000 times per second and automatically applies the precise braking to achieve maximum casting distance while preventing backlash. No matter the wind conditions, weather, or lure weight, 4 easy adjustments on the side plate allow the angler to quickly and definitively "set and forget" the brakes and let the reel do the work. Shimano Technology Found In Curado DC Reels: Cross Carbon Drag - Allows for a wider range of drag settings, enhanced drag washer durability, and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. Hagane Body - A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to it?s stiffness and impact resistance. The result? An angler?s actions are more efficiently transformed into cranking power. It?s efficiency through strength. I-DC4 Braking - Intelligent Digital Control braking features an easy to use 4 setting external dial that can be easily adjusted on the water to provide optimal braking as conditions and lures change. Micro Module Gear - State-of-the-art gear design makes use of smaller gear teeth and more of them, which results in a more efficient gear train and much smoother retrieve. S A-RB Bearings - These bearings undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano?s A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the possibility of salt, dirt, or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearing?s rotation. X-Ship - By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear remains in precise alignment with the drive gear and stays in the same position under even the heaviest of loads. This eliminates friction between the spool shaft and gear which trans

The Curado DC casting reel is Shimano's most advanced Curado ever produced. It's built on the platform that has made the Curado name synonymous with durability and versatility among offshore anglers. However, the Curado DC CUDC150HG adds Shimano's new Digital Control Braking system. The DC Braking system uses a completely sealed microcomputer that analyzes the spool speed 1,000 times per second, then automatically applies the precise braking to achieve maximum casting distance while preventing backlash. No matter the wind conditions, weather, or lure weight, four easy adjustments on the side plate allow the angler to quickly and definitively "set and forget" the brakes and let the reel do the work. This remarkable trouble-free casting comes on top of the other great features in the Shimano Curado DC. The Hagane body is made of a lightweight CI4+ carbon alloy that's rigid and durable for saltwater casting while the X-Ship pinion gear support maintains alignment even when you have a 200-lb. fighter on the line. And, of course, you can count on smooth Shimano drag performance from the cross carbon design. Enjoy trouble-free casting anytime, anyplace with a Curado DC from Tackle Direct.

Redefining finesse fishing for bass anglers everywhere, the Shimano Curado BFS Baitcasting Reels expand the Curado lineup into a specialty class of baitcasters gaining steam in North America. Inspired by the BFS (Bait Finesse System) baitcasting reels of the Japanese domestic market, the Curado BFS utilizes an ultra-lightweight and extremely shallow spool to allow anglers to cast lightweight lures more effectively. Simply put, this reel is the ultimate baitcaster for light line, small bait finesse applications that most bass anglers would designate to spinning gear. The key to this new Curado's ability to function so well where other baitcasters would fail lies in Shimano's Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system. This system reduces the spool's weight by moving the braking unit from the spool to the palm-side sideplate, allowing the spool to have extremely low startup inertia and will effectively turn with the minimal force of a light cast. Unlike traditional magnetic brake systems that maintain the same drag on the spool throughout the cast, the FTB capitalizes on the cast's centrifugal force and the magnetic brakes automatically adjust to slow down the spool only when braking is needed. This braking system is fully adjustable with the external dial or by adding or removing individual magnets as needed. Ideal for anyone who frequently downsizes their presentations to target finicky bass, the Curado BFS allows anglers to break the shackles of spinning tackle when it comes to light tackle fishing.

Offering the extreme proficiency of Shimano's DC technology in a new size class, the Shimano Curado DC 200 Baitcasting Reels bring trouble free casting to a range of heavier tackle applications. The Curado DC 200 provides anglers up to 40% more line capacity than the original Curado DC for added versatility and performance with a wider range of techniques. Anglers can now experience the benefit of the Intelligent Digital Control Braking system (I-DC4) when throwing larger lures like swimbaits and magnum crankbaits, and while leveraging heavier line techniques. The I-DC4 unit provides anglers with four distinct settings to control how much braking the DC technology applies to the spool during the cast for ultimate control while minimizing backlashes when long-bombing casts or fishing in windy conditions. Other Shimano technologies that have come become mainstays to the Curado lineup such as the ultra-smooth and durable Micro Module Gear, along with the rugged Cross Carbon Drag offer the toughness and dependability anglers have come to expect from any reel bearing the name Curado.

Built for trophy hunters who seek quality over quantity, the Shimano Curado 300 K Baitcasting Reels offer proven toughness and dependability in a size that specializes in big baits for big fish. Incorporating a deep 300-size spool intended for heavy line and the needed capacity for extra-long casts, the Curado 300 features a long handle with wide-grip knobs to provide anglers with the extra power that's necessary when pulling on giant bass, pike, or musky. At the core of the reel's strength is the rigid HAGANE Body that prevents flex and frame distortion when that giant finally decides to commit. Available in two gear ratio options, anglers can choose the right reel to match their fishing style and needs. Engineered with power in mind, the standard 4.7:1 model pulls double-duty for anglers fishing slower, methodical presentations, or when fishing with Alabama rigs, large swimbaits, or magnum crankbaits. The 6.6:1 gear ratio model provides a slightly faster retrieve and is ideal for anglers aggressively working baits or for quickly picking up slack line when topwater fishing. Built to perform when the fish of a lifetime is on the line, Shimano created the Curado 300 for those who never back down from the toughest fishing challenges.

Offering versatility that is unequaled by the rest of the tournament-tested Curado lineup, the Shimano Curado MGL 150 Baitcasting Reels combine precision spool control with the convenience of a 150 size reel. By combining Magnum Lite (MGL) Spool technology with a 150-sized spool, the Curado MGL 150 enables anglers to fish different techniques with various lure and line types with ease. This versatility makes it the Curado MGL 150 the perfect reel to pair with your favorite "workhorse" rod that you fish many different techniques with. An MGL Spool is lightweight and requires less start-up energy due to decreased inertia and results in longer casts with reduced effort. This technology is especially helpful when fishing with lighter, more difficult-to-cast lures like finesse jigs, tiny crankbaits, and weightless soft plastics. By offering an MGL Spool in a 150 size anglers are not limited to finesse oriented techniques by things like low line capacity. The Curado MGL 150 is just as efficient at throwing a shaky head as it is at slinging magnum crankbaits or heavy Carolina Rigs. Shimano engineers built the Curado MGL 150 to handle giants with a rigid aluminum HAGANE Body and durable Cross Carbon Drag. Precision gearing lies nestled at the heart of reel with Shimano technologies such as X-Ship, Micro Module Gearing and Silent Tune to create an unmatched smoothness and efficient transfer of energy when winding. Smooth, efficient, and tournament ready, the Curado MGL 150 is a true workhorse baitcaster that is well deserving of its place in the legendary Curado lineup.
