The new Shimano Curado DC is a brand new reel which features a DC braking system in a lower price class. Shimano’s new Digital Control braking system utilizes a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second and apply the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash and maximize distance.
Intelligent Digital Control braking system features an easy to use, 4 setting, externally adjustable brake dial. This will allow anglers to fish a wide variety of lures, in any conditions, with minimal adjustment to the reel.
The MicroModule gear system enables smooth recovery by utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and the pinion. In the end. This produces a more efficient gear drive with less gear feel.
S A-RB bearings go through the same process as Shimano's A-RB bearings, but are shielded on both sides of the bearing. These shields reduce the likelihood that salt or sand will inhibit bearing rotation.
Features of the Shimano Curado DC:
- 6+1 bearings (high corrosion resistant S A-RB shielded bearings)
