Product Review

The Shimano Curado Baitcasting Reel is an evolved reel that will get you one cast closer to the next big catch. The Curado features an offset handle design, and center clutch design for a more modern look and feel. This reel includes a super free spool, escape hatch, and super stopper. The baitcasting reel has a cross carbon drag, power AL, and 5-S-A-RB ball bearings. The reel features X-Ship which provides improved gear support, while the SVS infinity brake system technology makes it easy-to-manage. Consistent spool control and stable spool design (S3D) leads to significantly reduced spool vibration and creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures. X-Ship: X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear is eliminated, enhancing the casting performance with lighter lures, and allowing for longer casts. SVS Infinity: Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force on the new Curado I series baitcasting reels.
