Description

Built on the legacy of durability, dependability and versatility that Curado is known for, now with 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. Anglers of all skill levels will appreciate less thumbing and trouble-free casting in all conditions. Any lures, any conditions, trouble free casting.

  • Just Do It...It's Awesome
Color: Multi
Had my eye on this for a while, and finally bit the bullet and bought the 151 DCHG, (left crank, 7:4.1). Worked it out for the first time kayak fishing yesterday on a good sized pond. The reel is paired with the St. Croix Mojo Bass Yak Rod (7 ft medium/fast). And spooled with Sufix Advanced Mono 14 lb test green. This reel is awesome! But it's not magic. Thumb management is still needed at times, but it's minimal. And no adjustments are needed for different sized baits which is huge. I was effortlessly going between 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 5/8 ounce baits while testing this reel out. I could throw everything on the "2" setting, the spool knob was never touched. I did go to the "3" setting a couple times with the heavier baits. Furthermore this reel, with the right rod, will flat out fling some lures further than you thought possible. Didn't do any flipping to speak of, but I suspect thumb management would still be critical there. Max drag is 11 pounds, so it may not be at its best with braided line in heavy cover. Or hauling in say large stripers when they run up river. But it covers all the other bases as far as most bass fishing is concerned If you are on the fence about this reel, forget about it...and just do it. Experienced casters will LUV it. Beginners will still have a learning curve, but a much smaller one than normal. Again...you can still have backlashes. But far fewer than traditional braking systems. And no adjustments required when changing lures/baits...HUGE! Don't forget...you can throw the long bomb too. ... show more

  • Amazing reel
Color: Multi
Been waiting to move into a real baitcaster for awhile and this is a dream. Smooth as could be. Shimano knew what they were doing when they made this reel!

  • Nice reel.
Color: Multi
While not perfect, this reel is a welcomed addition to my collection. Best caster I have owned overall. Still gives an occasional birds nest but not as often as others. Just have to dial it in. The price is a bit much and not sure that I would spend that much again when I can still do good with a little cheaper. But having said that, it is an awesome reel. I have to give credit where credit is due. ... show more

  • Received a opened/returned package
Color: Multi
Decent Reel but truly disappointed by the seller 1: It would looks like this reel is targeting Chinese market or manufactured in China, that's why they have the "Marking for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" and a "Chinese QA association" label on it 2: the package was a returned/opened package There's no seal on the box, I have checked many different unboxing video, most of them have a seal. The manual + adjust tension knob notice were located differently, you can tell this is someone just trying shove all the documents in there 3: scratch on the brake dial & a hard to set dial from the picture 2, you can see the brake was set to open when I got it. I found that that there's thin scratch from the dial, this might caused by the buyer before me tried use a tool to set the dial, but accidently scratched the surface I tried to dial the brake to 2 since I was going to use a braid on it, but holy. I tried eeverything to rotate the dial but nothing is working. I even hurt my Thumb because of that thinking about returning it ... show more

  • Take care of this reel; it’s far too expensive to let it go to waste.
Color: Multi
I’m not one to dislike anything that I spend this kind of money on. Do I wish it was cheaper? Of course. But that’s just how it is. I got the reel and spoiled it up. I went out to test it and was not disappointed at all. I haven’t tried any other line than Flourocarbon, so I can’t speak on the setting adjustments for the type of line. Other than that, this reel is slick, and I love the sound every time I cast. Here is the thing....Don’t expect this to “never backlash.” It’s just a reel and if you don’t set it up correctly, a backlash is inevitable. ... show more

  • Ummmmm wow.
Color: Multi
I'm not sure if there is there's any company that has a better brake design than Shimano and their DC brakes. This is my first Curado DC and I also have 2 SLX DC's. I spent the extra $60 to see if it's even worth it. I immediately noticed how much smoother the Curado is. That says a lot because I thought the SLX was smooth. The big question for me is it worth it over the SLX DC. I'm not sure it is. If I'm tight with money I wouldn't hesitate getting the SLX DC. If I'm not at the time I would definitely choose the Curado DC again and again. This difference isn't jaw dropping. So I can't really say it's worth it but it is a noticeable difference. If you're not choosing between the SLX and the Curado and just choosing between DC and anything else then DC brakes is a no brainer. Anyone who says different is only because they don't have one or they are not experienced enough to know better. I can't stress enough that the DC difference is life changing. ... show more

  • Solid real
Color: Multi
This is the nicest real I’ve ever touched in my life I thinks it’s well worth the price and it preforms great the only issue I have is the 12 pound drag but I only bass fishing so it doesn’t effect me that much. It’s a great real
