The Shimano Curado DC Baitcast Reel is built with durability, dependability, and versatility in mind. The Shimano Curado DC uses a unique Digital Control braking system that utilizes a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second, which allows the braking system to prevent backlash and maximize distance with the perfect amount of brake. With 6+1 shielded stainless steel anti-rust ball bearings, the Shimano Curado DC is super smooth and durable for long-lasting use, while the Hagane body offers incredible rigidity for more cranking power.
