The all new Curado M Series reels are engineered with advanced protection, making them ideal for saltwater environments. Fish with confidence, knowing your gear can handle the elements and any fish game enough to bite.
Technology & Features:
- Hagane
Hagane is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. Hagane is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. Hagane is for all anglers.
- Micromodule
The MicroModule Gear technology creates a smooth retrieve by utilising smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and the 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 allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.
- Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high 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.
- MGL Spool III
MGL Spool III is a low inertia spool that's designed with a thin spool wall, maintaining durability, contributing to casting performance, quick response, long distance, cast feeling and castability.
- Silent Tune
By applying slight pressure to the bearing holding the spool, SilentTune reduces the vibration of the bearing during high-speed rotation. This improves the quietness while casting and the rise of the spool rotation becomes even smoother.
- 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 when anglers need to adjust to the conditions or when they switch baits.
- Ci4+ Baitcasting
Ci4+ is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fibre that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. Ci4+ is an advanced version of the original Ci4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies and rotors built with Ci4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
- Cross Carbon Drag
The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.
- S3D Spool
S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing and constructing a balanced and uniform thin-wall aluminium spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.
Super Free Spool
Super Free Spool eliminates friction on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels are constructed in a way that when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft. This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result: zero friction is placed upon the spool shaft and enhances casting performance.
