Shimano Curado 70 Reels

Shimano Curado 70 Reels

For 25 years, the Shimano Curado has been a benchmark in low profile bait casting reel performance and durability. In 2016 Shimano builds on this legacy with the all new Shimano Curado 70 Reels. This new addition to the Curado family delivers unparalleled castability, industry leading durability and precision control in a compact and rigid reel. The new Shimano Curado 70 Reels are smaller spooled reels designed to handle lighter line and lures than the 200I series. With all of the advancements in reel technology geared toward easier casting or lighter lures, the 70 size Curado just makes sense. Shimano's SVS Infinity Brake System and S3D (stable spool design) are largely responsible for this by applying consistent, precise force to the reel brakes reducing the chance of backlash and allowing lighter lures to be cast further with less effort.

Another key feature of the Curado 70 Reels is Shimano's X Ship technology that braces the drag to make smoother lure retrieval that lasts for many years of use. Furthermore, the compact Hagane body is essential for the rigidity of the reel which enables anglers reeling motions to be focused directly to the fish instead of wasted on the reel itself.

Curado 70 Series Reel Technology:

SVS Infinity

Shimano’s newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force on the new Curado 70 series baitcasting reels. With brake weights that use ‘inner friction’ against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed especially when using lighter lures, plus the external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits. Combined with X-Ship Technology, anglers will experience precision cast control.

X-Ship

X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear is eliminated, enhancing the casting performance with lighter lures, and allowing for longer casts.

Hagane Body

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.
