Built on the legacy of durability, dependability and versatility that Curado is known for, the Curado DC now features Shimano's unique DC braking technology. The Digital Control braking system utilizes a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second and applies the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash while maximizing casting distance. Anglers of all skill levels will appreciate less thumbing and trouble-free casting in all conditions.
MICROMODULE GEAR BAITCASTING
The Micromodule Gear system creates a smooth retrieve by
utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the
drive gear and pinion gear. Ultimately, this produces a more efficient gear
train with less of a gear feel.
X-SHIP BAITCASTING
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 BAITCASTING
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The
body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the
reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly
into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
1-DC4
The Intelligent Digital Control braking system features four
easy-to-use modes that can be set using the external dial for Max Distance,
Braided/ Monofilament line, Fluorocarbon line and Skipping. These four modes
allow anglers to fish a wide variety of lures in any condition with minimal
adjustments to the reel. I-DC4 reads various situation changes from casting to
the arrival of the lure at the target spot by reading the spool's rotation and
makes fine adjustments to the brake accordingly.
CI4+ BAITCASTING
CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon
fiber 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 C4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
CROSS CARBON DRAG
BAITCASTING
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
aluminum spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and
retrieving lures.
A-RB BAITCASTING
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as
Shimano's A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings.
These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the
bearing.
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.
