Shimano Curado M 201, Baitcasting Reel
Left-handed retrieve

For over 30 years, Shimano Curado 200 M baitcasting reels have been trusted tools for both competitive and active anglers!

This new version continues the tradition by providing exceptional performance and versatility. The new Curado M reel features a MagnumLite (MGL) III spool, enabling unprecedented casting distance without compromising spool strength and durability. You can easily cast jigs, lures, and nearly all other baits using braided, fluorocarbon, or monofilament line, as the spool provides low starting inertia that operates effectively with each cast, sending your line further.

SilentTune technology reduces spool vibration during casting, resulting in a quieter operation and decreased friction, further enhancing casting distance. Thanks to the SVS Infinity technology, precise targeting is highly controllable, allowing the fine-tuning of both internal and external brakes to create a user experience where the angler feels directly connected to the reel. Its smooth and effective brake outperforms varying conditions and keeps the line under control without tangling. The reel is equipped with a robust aluminum Hagane body, providing high rigidity for internal components and reducing flex for optimal efficiency and a good hand feel. When a fish strikes, this reel is equipped with a Cross Carbon Drag system that tames even the largest trophy fish, ready to help you achieve your next record.

Micromodule Gear: State-of-the-art gear design utilizes smaller and more gears, leading to a more efficient gear system and smoother reeling.X-Ship: By supporting the pinion gear with bearings on both ends, the pinion gear remains precisely aligned with the drive gear, maintaining this alignment even under the heaviest loads. This eliminates friction between the spool axle and gear, enhancing casting performance and increasing gear durability.Hagane Body: Practically eliminates body flex due to its rigidity and impact resistance. As a result, the angler's actions are transformed more efficiently into reeling power. CI4+: An improved version of the original CI4 material, this highly technical carbon material is 2.5 times stiffer than the original and is used to reduce the weight of the reel.MGL III Spool: Further refining the spool reduces inertia without sacrificing durability.Shimano Stable Spool Design (S3D): S3D technology employs a balanced and consistent thin-walled aluminum spool to significantly reduce spool vibration and enhance smoothness during casting and reeling.SilentTune: By applying slight pressure on the bearing supporting the spool, Silent Tune reduces spool vibration during casting, leading to quieter casting and smoother spool rotation with less play.S A-RB Bearings: These bearings undergo the same corrosion-resistant treatment as Shimano's A-RB bearings, additionally featuring shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the likelihood of salt, dirt, or other foreign substances obstructing the bearing's rotation.Super Free Spool: SFS is designed to eliminate friction on the spool axle during casting. The pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, maintaining perfect alignment with the spool axle to eliminate friction for longer casts and smoother operation.SVS Infinity: Provides easily controllable, consistent spool control and braking force, easily adjustable as conditions change. Brake weights use internal friction against the track during casting for precision casting, even when using lighter baits. The external adjustment knob offers quick and precise adjustments on the fly as conditions or baits change.Cross Carbon Drag: Enables a broader range of drag settings, improves the durability of the drag washers, and offers the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
