ANGLERS ‘GET MORE’ IN NEW SHIMANO CURADO I SERIES
REELS –
LONG-TIME ‘GO-TO’ REELS FEATURE LATEST TECHOLOGY
Among avid anglers going back more than 20 years, the Shimano Curado has
become the standard baitcasting reel to use for nearly any bass fishing
technique – along with other freshwater and inshore saltwater action. As new
Shimano technology immerged, the Curado reels evolved with those new features.
Anglers now get the most from Shimano with the next Curado reels, the new
Curado I series, now available in five models – the Curado CU200PG, CU200,
CU200HG, and left-hand retrieve CU201 and 201HG.
By offering multiple gear ratios
in the reels – the 200PG has a slower 5.5:1 gear ratio, the 200 and 201 have a
6.3:1 ratio, and the 200HG and 201HG have a fast 7.2:1 gear ratio, “anglers
have the right reel for the baits they are using,” said Robby Gant with
Shimano’s product development staff, “plus the benefits from our latest
baitcasting reel technology including SVS Infinity Braking System, S3D Stabile
Spool Design and X-Ship.”
Relying on ‘inner friction’ to
provide consistent brake force, Shimano’s innovative SVS Infinity braking
system provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force on the
new Curado I series baitcasting reels. With brake weights using ‘inner
friction’ against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool
speed especially when using lighter lures, plus the external adjustment knob
provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you
switch baits.
For “an incredibly smooth feel when casting and retrieving
lures, anglers will notice how our Stabile Spool Design (S3D) has a tremendous
effect reducing spool vibration,” Gant said. He explains that S3D technology
enables Shimano to construct a thin wall aluminum spool to provide better
balance.
