SHIMANO says the new features in its latest Curado baitcaster, the I series, have made this evergreen reel better than ever.
X-Ship is a big inclusion; supporting the pinion gear at both ends with two of the five SA-RB bearings the reel comes with, a bigger drive gear and increased gearing efficiency results in ultra light rotation of the swept aluminium handle – even when hooked up.
Another new feature is the Stable Spool Design or S3D, which significantly reduces spool vibration.
Like its predecessors, this is a sweet casting reel. An Escape Hatch sideplate grants easy access to the SVS Infinity Braking System for making adjustments when lure sizes and fishing conditions change.
The Cross Carbon drag, easily adjustable via the aluminium star drag wheel, remains smooth under a range of settings, and can be pushed as high as 5.5 kilos.
Available in four models, three different gear ratios and left and right hand wind.
