The Shimano Curado 150 M Casting Reel is part of Shimano’s legendary Curado lineup — engineered for both bass fishing and inshore saltwater performance. This low-profile baitcasting reel combines tournament-grade precision, smooth retrieves, and exceptional durability for serious anglers looking to dominate any condition.
Built on a rigid HAGANE Body to eliminate flex under heavy loads, the Curado 150 M integrates MGL Spool III technology for lightning-fast spool startup and long casting distance. The MicroModule Gear II and X-Ship system ensure buttery-smooth retrieves and lasting gear alignment, while SilentTune minimizes vibration for ultra-quiet casting. Finished with a Cross Carbon Drag system, this reel delivers consistent pressure when fighting large bass, redfish, or snook.
