Shimano CU201XGK Curado 8.5:1 Low Profile Baitcast Reel No Box

Shimano Curado Baitcasting Reels

Built tournament tough, Curado is the benchmark for reliability and durability. Generations of anglers have looked to Curado as their trusted partner. Shimano gives you more than ever with the new Curado K series reels. Now featuring the latest in Shimano technology, such as super smooth, efficient, durable MicroModule gearing, and offered in multiple gear ratios up to 8.5:1, Curado builds on its legacy as the 'go to' baitcasting reel for both fresh and saltwater action.

Shimano Technology Found In Curado K Reels:

• Micro Module Gear - State-of-the-art gear design makes use of smaller gear teeth and more of them, resulting in a more efficient gear train and smoother retrieve.
• X-Ship - By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear remains in precise alignment with the drive gear and stays in the same position under heavy loads, translating to better casting performance and increased gear durability.
• Hagane Body - A reel body with high rigidity virtually eliminates body flexing due to its stiffness and impact resistance, efficiently transforming an angler's actions into cranking power.
• SVS Infinity - Provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and adjustable brake force for precision casting, even with lighter lures.
• Super Free Spool - Eliminates friction on the spool shaft during casting, resulting in longer casts and smoother operation.
• Super Stopper - Uses a one-way stainless steel roller bearing to eliminate back-play and provide instant power when setting the hook.
• A-RB Bearings - Specially treated stainless steel bearings with increased corrosion resistance, lasting over 10 times longer than traditional ball bearings in saltwater environments.
• Cross Carbon Drag - Offers a wider range of drag settings, enhanced drag washer durability, and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
