The Reel
Forged from over 30 years of Curado performance and durability, the Shimano Curado 23 200HG Baitcaster Reel inherits the latest Shimano reel technologies to provide enhanced castability with heavier lines and lures in any power fishing situation.

Expanded line capacity comes without compromise as the Curado now leverages Shimano's MagnumLite (MGL) Spool III to reduce start-up inertia for unparalleled casting performance, especially when targeting trophies with large paddle-tail swimbaits, big jigs, deep-diving cranks, oversized frogs, Carolina rigs or umbrella rigs. The addition of SilentTune technology improves spool quietness during casts. SVS Infinity technology provides precision casting performance with easy-to-manage and consistent spool control and brake force adjustments when faced with demanding conditions or switching between baits. The aluminum HAGANE Body provides added rigidity to increase cranking power and overall reeling efficiency, while MicroModule Gear, Cross Carbon Drag and X-Ship deliver the tournament-tested smoothness, durability, and versatility for which the Curado family is known.

Expanding on Curado's reputation as a do-everything reel, Shimano redesigned and refined the versatile Shimano Curado 23 200HG Baitcaster Reel to be all about big casts on big line with big baits for one thing - big fish.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Overhead Baitcaster Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
