[ICAST 2025] Shimano’s Newest Serious Bass Reel

Shimano USA is right here at ICAST 2025 with their latest model of their well-liked Curado line of baitcasters. The brand new Curado 150 M has been constructed to fulfill the wants of significant bass anglers who need a compact, highly effective, and adaptable reel for lengthy days chasing bucket mouths. The brand new Curado 150 M comes with the up to date MGL Spool III design that reduces startup inertia with a thinner design, considerably enhancing casting distance and forged accuracy. Together with the brand new spool design, the reel now comes with the Shimano SVS Infinity braking system for constant spool management and an easy-to-access exterior adjustment dial for simple changes on the water to match how or what you’re fishing. Contained in the reel is the MicroModule Gear II, this gives anglers a clean retrieve and kit longevity with minimal reel noise. For the stopping energy wanted to maintain these hogs out of the construction, the Cross Carbon Drag system delivers as much as 13 kilos of clean and constant drag pressure. All of those options are packed into the low-profile HAGANE Physique, an extremely inflexible alloy that resists flex and retains all of the gearing lined up correctly for max cranking energy even below heavy pressure. The Shimano Curado 150 M is accessible in three Gear Ratios, 6.2:1, 7.4:1, and eight.1:1, and in each left and right-handed choices. MSRP is about at $209.99 for the reel, and they’re accessible now from any Shimano vendor.
