Shimano Curado DC 151

The new Shimano Curado DC is a brand new reel which features a DC braking system in a lower price class. Shimano’s new Digital Control braking system utilizes a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second and apply the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash and maximize distance.

Intelligent Digital Control braking system features an easy to use, 4 setting, externally adjustable brake dial.  This will allow anglers to fish a wide variety of lures, in any conditions, with minimal adjustment to the reel. 

The total of 6 + 1 ball bearings in combination with MicroModule makes the reel run insanely smooth. And due to the combination of a Magnumlite spool + Superfree spool system and the I-DC4 braking system, the angler will even be able to cast and fish also small lures for e.g. bass, perch or zander.

The Curado DC might be considered the best reel for crankbait fishing in this price class. However, since the implementation of X-Ship, the reel is also able to withstand higher forces and can also be used to fish bigger lures for e.g. pike.

Features of the Shimano Curado DC:

• 6+1 bearings (high corrosion resistant S A-RB shielded bearings)
