Shimano Curado 150 M | Top 3 Features You Need to Know

The low-profile baitcasting reel with one of the best names and reputations within Shimano’s lineup is Curado. The new generation Curado 150 M has been designed to align with the current Curado 200 M technology-wise with the addition of the MGL Spool III for a wider range of use and lower start-up inertia. Let’s take a look at its top 3 features…

1. The MGL Spool III is an ultra-thin spool that pursues low inertia. The spool significantly reduces spool inertia compared to the second-generation MGL Spool by using a narrow shape, allowing for effortless casting of lighter baits and giving anglers easy control of the rotation and ease of brake application.

2. SVS Infinity: Shimano’s newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity, provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS infinity controls spool speed for precise casting, especially when using lighter lures. The added external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments when anglers need to adjust to the conditions or when they switch baits.

Number 3 - Hagane Body features a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body's 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 durability and efficiency through strength.

Available in three models, a 150 MG with a 6.2:1 Gear ratio, 150 HG built with a 7.4 ratio and a 150 XG with an 8.1:1 ratio, the Curado 150M remains a true workhorse that is completely at home in a myriad of fishing styles.
