Shimano Curado

When you take a large capacity round baitcaster and merge it with a teardrop shaped baitcaster, you get the Shimano Curado. This reel strikes the perfect balance between round and teardrop. The Shimano Curado reels are designed specifically for saltwater fishing.

The Curado is poised to get to work. The Magnumlite spool gives you incredibly low startup inertia for outstanding line control and casting performance.

You get unbelievable fish moving torque and high speed retrieves thanks to the HEG or High Efficiency Gearing that is found on the Curado reel.

When fighting the big muscle fish, the SV Power Paddle provides the beef needed and the 1/4 turn easy-access sideplate lets you quickly adjust the reel’s variable brake system. The Curado uses the VBS brake system to control your casts so you can cast further and accurately. The Curado sits closer to the rod for that much appreciated comfort and maneuverability.

In 2008, the Shimano Curado was the winner of the ICAST New Product Showcase Awards for Best of Show and Best Freshwater Reel. The Curado reel is available from a 5.0:1 to a 7.0:1 gear ratio. The Curado keeps the excitement in baitcasting. If you own a Curado reel, there is no doubt that it will become your number one favorite reel of all time. This is one great little performer that puts the fun back in fishing!
