The Curado DC is a technically advanced, low-profile baitcasting reel equipped with Shimano's exclusive Digital Control braking system (i-DC4), which automatically adjusts the spool's rotation speed during casting.
The Curado DC is a great addition to one of Shimano's most popular baitcasting reels, offering the benefits of digital control. This technology uses a microcomputer to control the spool's rotation speed during casting. When fishing, you'll appreciate how solid the Curado DC feels and how comfortably it fits in your hand. It is available in a standard 150 size, as well as a larger 200 size with various retrieve speed options. If you want to upgrade to the latest baitcasting reel technology, the Curado DC is one of the best investments.
If you haven't experienced Shimano's digital control technology yet, you really should. It can be easily adjusted with an external dial, choosing one of four modes: a completely free mode or three settings – 1 for braided or monofilament lines, 2 for fluorocarbon lines, and 3 for difficult casting situations, such as in strong winds. Once set, the microcomputer makes nanosecond adjustments to the spool speed, preventing backlash, maximizing casting performance, and allowing you to enjoy your fishing more.
But the Curado DC offers even more than just digital control. The Hagane body is lightweight, yet extremely durable and fits comfortably in your palm. The combination of Micro Module Gear and X-Ship ensures smooth and powerful operation, while the Cross Carbon Drag system guarantees complete control over fiercely fighting fish. Last but not least, the S3D spool reduces vibrations, allowing the digital control to operate with maximum efficiency.
If you want to take your fishing experience and skills to the next level, the Curado DC is for you!
