The Curado DC casting reel is Shimano's most advanced Curado ever produced. It's built on the platform that has made the Curado name synonymous with durability and versatility among offshore anglers. However, the Curado DC CUDC150HG adds Shimano's new Digital Control Braking system. The DC Braking system uses a completely sealed microcomputer that analyzes the spool speed 1,000 times per second, then automatically applies the precise braking to achieve maximum casting distance while preventing backlash. No matter the wind conditions, weather, or lure weight, four easy adjustments on the side plate allow the angler to quickly and definitively "set and forget" the brakes and let the reel do the work.

This remarkable trouble-free casting comes on top of the other great features in the Shimano Curado DC. The Hagane body is made of a lightweight CI4+ carbon alloy that's rigid and durable for saltwater casting while the X-Ship pinion gear support maintains alignment even when you have a 200-lb. fighter on the line. And, of course, you can count on smooth Shimano drag performance from the cross carbon design. Enjoy trouble-free casting anytime, anyplace with a Curado DC from TackleDirect. And we mean that - we ship everywhere around the globe because we know going after the perfect catch knows no boundaries.

Shimano Technology Found In Curado DC Reels:

• Cross Carbon Drag: Allows for a wider range of drag settings, enhanced drag washer durability and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
• Hagane Body: A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to its stiffness and impact resistance. The result is that an angler's actions are more efficiently transformed into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
• I-DC4 Braking: Intelligent Digital Control braking features an easy-to-use four-setting external dial that can be easily adjusted on the water to provide optimal braking as conditions and lures change.
• Micro Module Gear: State-of-the-art gear design makes use of smaller gear teeth and more of them. This results in a more efficient gear train and much smoother retrieve.
• S-ARB Bearings: These bearings undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano's ARB Bearings. The addition of shields on both sides of the bearings reduces the possibility of salt, dirt or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearing's rotation.
• X-Ship: By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear remains in precise alignment with the drive gear and stays in the same position under even the heaviest of loads. This eliminates friction between the spool shaft and gear which translates to better casting performance and increased gear durability.
