SHIMANO Curado 151 DC 151XG Baitcasting Freshwater & Saltwater Reel - Left Handed

Shimano's legendary prowess in DC technology continues with the addition of the all-new Curado DC 151, an expansion to the tournament-proven Curado family of low-profile reels. The Curado DC 151 provides anglers up to 40% more line capacity for added versatility and performance using a wide range of baits and techniques, especially those looking to leverage heavier line, larger lures, or maximize casting performance. The I-DC4 unit provides anglers with four distinct settings to control how much braking the DC technology applies to the spool during the cast for ultimate control while minimizing backlashes when long-bombing casts or fishing in windy conditions. Fish smarter and leverage Shimano's premium DC technology within the all-new Curado DC 151.

• 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? 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 4-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, which results in a more efficient gear train and much smoother retrieve.
• S A-RB Bearings: These bearings undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano's A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce 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.
