Shimano Curado Series Baitcasting Reels
The Curado reel has moved to the next level, packed with new features, and is available in a 7.0:1 high speed, 5.0:1 power and saltwater versions.
Features:
• Magnumlite Spool - This spool provides extremely low startup inertia for increased line control and casting performance even when using lightweight baits or lures (not available on 100DSV).
• Super Free (SF) bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased freespool.
• High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) is not only the oversized gears, but also includes the setplate and sideplate, which allow for a high speed retrieve while providing unbelievable fishmoving torque (not available on 100 sizes).
• Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability.
• Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets.
• Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability.
• 1/4 Turn Easy Access Sideplate this flip up turn-key design requires only 1/4 of a turn to remove the sideplate for VBS brake weight adjustments (not available on 100 sizes).
• Turn-Key Access Sideplate flip up the easy to use turn-key and rotate it to remove the sideplate to adjust the VBS brake weights (100 sizes only).
• Septon - this handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet.
• Reduced Mass VBS hub reduces the weight of the spool increasing freespool and reducing start up inertia.
• PV Power Paddles - These oversized paddle grips provide extra power and remain comfortable after a full day of deep cranking (200 sizes only).
• SV Power Paddles - The largest of the paddle grips provides extra fish fighting power when battling feisty inshore species (300 size only).
• Drilled Handle Shank reduces the weight of the reel.
• Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
• Recessed Reel Foot allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability.
• Clicking Drag Adjustment reduces the chance of the drag backing off at light settings while providing the angler a reference point to how much drag they add or reduce by turning the star.
• Aluminum Frame for tight tolerances and unflexing durability.
• Aluminum Handle Side Sideplate (not available on 100 sizes) |
