Utilizing a microcomputer to control brake force at every moment of the cast, Shimano brings its digital control technology (I-DC4) to a new series of Curado baitcasting reels. Built upon a reel already known for its durability, dependability, and versatility, the new Shimano Curado DC reels will quickly allow all anglers - from the most to avid tournament angler to those who are intimidated by baitcasting reels and the backlashes that can happen - to cast smarter by allowing the DC’s microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second and apply the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlashes and maximize distance. Being introduced at ICAST 2018 and available in August, the DC series includes the Curado DC150 and left-hand retrieve DC151 with 6.2:1 gear ratios, the Curado DC150HG and DC151HG with 7.4:1 gear ratios, and the even higher speed Curado DC150XG and DC151XG with 8.5:1 gear ratios.
With the I-DC4 braking technology,
anglers can fish a variety of lures and in any weather conditions, with
limited-to-no adjustments to the reel. There are four external adjustable brake
settings depending on fishing situations. The settings are a ‘max distance
mode’ for ultra-long casts in calmer conditions; a ‘braid/mono mode’ for
general all-around use of those types of lines; a ‘fluorocarbon mode’ that is
best when using these stiffer lines; and a ‘skipping mode’ for challenging
casts (under docks and piers) or extreme conditions.
