Curado reels have been around for years, and not without reason. Every generation offers an enviable balance between price and performance, and this certainly applies to the largest version: the Curado 300/301. Designed for larger lures, particularly high-resistance baits requiring extra retrieval power, the Curado 300/301 is a robust powerhouse you can always rely on. There are many variants within the Curado family, but if you are looking for a larger reel capable of handling large lures and big fish, the Curado 300/301 is the right choice. Packed with Shimano's top technologies and designed with a low-profile body that sits flush against the rod, the Curado 300/301 immediately gives you a sense of complete control. It casts excellently and feels solid and smooth when it counts. All Curado 300/301 models feature a strong aluminium HAGANE Body with a matte black finish. Don't be fooled by the understated appearance (which looks good on any rod), because inside lies a drive system capable of handling any tough challenge. X-SHIP technology ensures powerful retrieve performance and silky-smooth rotation. The powerful Cross Carbon Drag underscores the immense pulling power of these winch machines. Casting is handled by the vibration-reducing S3D spool, controlled by Shimano's proven VBS braking system, which is easy to adjust and user-friendly.
