A Step Forward, An Inside Look at the New Shimano Curado I
Introduction: The Shimano Curado was first introduced in 1991 and since that time has represented Shimano’s workhorse baitcasting reel. These low profile baitcasters have certainly evolved over time, increasing in both features and refinement. Officially launched last week at the Bassmaster Classic Expo we were excited to get the reel back home and on water. We were able to get only two days on the water before California finally received some much needed rain. With the storms rolling in we kept the momentum going and headed into the lab to break down the Curado and take our first look inside the new reel.
