Shimano Curado Glass Baitcasting Rods

The Shimano Curado Glass Baitcasting rod has a lighter action and gives a lot more bend than the regular graphite. Great for crankbaits and spinnerbaits, and now featuring Shimano’s Hi-Power X Technology that utilizes diagonally-wrapped carbon tape forming “X” shapes on the rod blank’s outermost layer, the Curado series provides anglers with rods showcasing increased strength and improved casting performance. This series of rods now feature Shimano CI4+ reel seats for increased sensitivity and reduced weight. With the combination of Fuji tangle-free K guides with FazLite inserts is the ideal guide for reducing line tangles and provding anglers the option to fish with monofilament, fluorocarbon or PowerPro braided fishing line. Shimano built these Curado series of casting rods for tournament anglers with powers and actions to fulfill the spectrum of techniques one may face when a check is on the line.
