Shimano CURADO 70 XG 8,2: 1 Ratio Baitcaster Reel

The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

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 precision casting especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits.

Shimano’s S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

Shimano X-Ship Gearing

The Shimano X-Ship system features bearings which support the pinion gear on both ends, helping to maintain proper alignment with the drive gear and reduce friction between the spool shaft and gearing. An added benefit to this design is that the gears stay in the same position under pressure, delivering a smooth powerful feel, similarly to how the design works on the Company’s big game Calcutta and Tranx reels.
