Shimano Curado DC DC 151 XG
The Curado DC is a technically advanced low-profile baitcaster equipped with Shimano’s proprietary Digital Control Brake System (i-DC4). The microcomputer that powers this braking system automatically controls the speed of the spool rotation during the cast. As soon as you start reeling, it becomes immediately apparent just how solidly this reel is built and how well it fits in the hand. With the standard 151 and 201 sizes available in various speed options, the Curado DC represents one of the best investments if you’re looking to switch to the latest baitcaster technologies. Anyone who has never tried Digital Control should definitely give it a go. Using the external dial, three additional modes can be easily selected alongside the totally free mode: 1 for braided or monofilament line, 2 for fluorocarbon and 3 for challenging conditions (such as casting bulky lures into a strong headwind).
Once activated, the microcomputer makes nanosecond adjustments to the spool rotation speed, thereby preventing tangles, maximising casting performance and promoting focused and enjoyable fishing. Of course, there is much more to the Curado DC than ‘just’ the Digital Control System. The Hagane body is lightweight, super-robust and ergonomically shaped, fitting naturally in the hand. The combination of Micro Module gearing and X-Ship delivers smoothness and power. The Cross Carbon drag system guarantees absolute control when fighting large fish. And then there is the S3D spool, which supports the Digital Control System and extracts the maximum casting control from the DC system. So when it comes to generating the greatest enjoyment and maximum performance from baitcasting, the Curado DC is exactly the product of choice.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
