The brand new Curado 150 M has been constructed to fulfill the wants of great bass anglers who desire a compact, highly effective, and adaptable reel for lengthy days chasing bucket mouths. The brand new Curado 150 M comes with the up to date MGL Spool III design that reduces startup inertia with a thinner design, considerably enhancing casting distance and forged accuracy. Together with the brand new spool design, the reel now comes with the Shimano SVS Infinity braking system for constant spool management and an easy-to-access exterior adjustment dial for straightforward changes on the water to match how or what you’re fishing. Contained in the reel is the MicroModule Gear II, this offers anglers a easy retrieve and kit longevity with minimal reel noise. For the stopping energy wanted to maintain these hogs out of the construction, the Cross Carbon Drag system delivers as much as 13 kilos of easy and constant drag power. All of those options are packed into the low-profile HAGANE Physique, an extremely inflexible alloy that resists flex and retains all of the gearing lined up correctly for optimum cranking energy even beneath heavy pressure. The Shimano Curado 150 M is offered in three Gear Ratios, 6.2:1, 7.4:1, and eight.1:1, and in each left and right-handed choices.
