Features

  • HAGANE Body: The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
  • MagnumLite (MGL) Spool: This design significantly reduces the moment of inertia (~10%), allowing anglers to experience greater casting distance (~20%) and accuracy with a wider variety of lures.
  • MicroModule Gear: The MicroModule system creates a smooth retrieve. The new gear set makes use of smaller teeth and more of them. This means that there are more contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear. The result is a more efficient gear train with less gear feel.
  • SVS Infinity: Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits.
  • CI4+ Side Plate: This material is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical carbon material maintains 2.5 times more rigidity than CI4. While improving lightness and rigidity, the side plate is further reduced in size and weight.

  • Shimano Curado MGL: Effortless Casting Meets Elite Control
Model: CUMGL71HGK
After pairing the Shimano Curado MGL with my St. Croix Mojo Bass Trigon (Medium-Fast, 3/16 – 5/8 oz), this reel quickly became my go-to for finesse and lighter baitcasting work. The MGL spool design really shines — it starts up with minimal effort, making it perfect for throwing small jigs, weightless plastics, and light cranks that most other baitcasters struggle with. What stands out most is the smoothness and control. The combination of the SVS Infinity braking and micro-adjustable tension knob makes backlash almost nonexistent once you’re dialed in. It handles light braid or fluoro equally well and launches lures far beyond what you’d expect from a compact reel. The build quality feels premium — tight tolerances, clean machining, and that classic Shimano refinement when you engage the handle. It’s light enough for all-day casting, yet sturdy enough to muscle bass away from cover when needed. In short, the Curado MGL strikes that rare balance between finesse capability and raw performance. If you’re looking for a reel that can handle both precision presentations and all-day reliability, this one’s hard to beat ... show more

  • Outstanding Reel for the money!
Model: CUMGL71HGK
Excellent reel at this price point. I do prefer the Daiwa Tatula SV TW 70 over this reel, so where I looking for this size reel and brand loyalty were not an issue, I would get the Diawa. But you can't go wrong with this MGL. It cast excellent, build quality is great, functionality is butter and ages like wine w/ proper maintenance. It stays in rotation. ... show more

  • Buyer beware
Model: CUMGL71HGK
I bought a used like new Curado 71 And came with the wrong spool. The spool had red accents like from the scorpion and was not an MGL spool. Functionally it worked. Buyer beware!
