The Curado DC is a technically advanced low profile baitcasting reel that features Shimano’s exclusive Digital Control braking system (i-DC4) to automatically control the speed of the spool rotation during casting.
The Curado DC is a great addition to one of Shimano’s most popular baitcasting reels and has the benefit of Digital Control, which uses a micro computer to control the speed of the spool rotation during your cast. And when fishing, you’ll appreciate how solid the Curado DC feels and how comfortably it fits into your palm. Available in a standard 150 size and also a larger 200 size, with different retrieve speed options, the Curado DC is one of the best investments you can make if you are looking to upgrade to the latest baitcasting reel technology.
If you have never experienced Shimano Digital Control technology, you really should. Easily adjusted by an external dial, you can set the reel in a totally free mode or one of three different settings - 1 for braid or mono, 2 for fluoro and 3 for more difficult casting situations like into a strong wind. Once set, the micro computer makes nano-second adjustments to the spool speed during the cast preventing backlash, maximising casting performance and leaving you to concentrate on your fishing with more enjoyment. But there’s so much more to the Curado DC than the Digital Control.
The Hagane Body is lightweight, rock solid, and fits naturally into your hand. The combination of Micro Module Gear and X-Ship delivers the smoothness and power you feel when using the reel and the Cross Carbon Drag ensures you are always in control of hard fighting fish. Finally, the S3D spool lets the Digital Control perform to its maximum efficiency by reducing spool wobble when spinning. If you want to move your fishing enjoyment and ability up to the next level, the Curado DC is for you.

FEATURES

MICROMODULE
The MicroModule Gear technology creates a smooth retrieve by utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear.

X SHIP
X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.

HAGANE BODY
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power.

I-DC4
DC brake system perceives the changing spool speed and controls brake power with microcomputer, and provides the cast-performance of long distance and anti-backrash. I-DC4 brake can be set easily with 4 dial adjustment, covering to each line.

CI4+
CI4 is a resin material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material.The rigidity and durability have been greatly improved from original CI4 material while maintaining the lightness of the material, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the reel.

CROSS CARBON DRAG
The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.

S3D
S3D SPOOL leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. This creates an smooth feeling when casting.

S A-RB
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.

SUPER FREE SPOOL
SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the cast and enhances casting performance.
