Availability: In stock
SPECIFICATIONS
Built for precision, power, and unmatched casting control, the Shimano Curado DC baitcasting reel has become a favorite among serious anglers since its debut. Available in both the 2018 and 2022 models, the Curado DC brings Shimano’s cutting-edge technology to your fingertips, offering performance that adapts to your casting style and conditions.
Digital Control (DC) Braking System
At the heart of the Curado DC is Shimano’s proprietary I-DC4 Digital Control braking system, a microcomputer-controlled brake that monitors spool speed 1,000 times per second to apply just the right amount of braking. The result? Drastically reduced backlash, longer casting distance, and exceptional control even with lightweight lures or in windy conditions. With four easy-to-use external settings, the Curado DC allows anglers to fine-tune performance without opening the side plate.
