Shimano North America Fishing, is launching a new addition to the Curado line of low-profile baitcasting reels. The Curado 200 M will make its debut at the 2023 ICAST New Product Showcase in Orlando, Florida.

Forged from over 30 years of Curado performance, the Curado 200 M inherits the latest Shimano reel technologies to provide ultimate castability in any power fishing situation. “We are thrilled to introduce the Curado 200 M reel to our passionate community of anglers,” states Freshwater Product Marketing Manager, Bob Mahoney. “With its exceptional features and superior performance, the Curado 200 M represents an indispensable tool for bass anglers incorporating heavier line, lures, and long casting applications.”

The Curado 200 M boasts expanded line capacity without compromise as Shimano leverages MagnumLite (MGL) Spool III to reduce start-up inertia, which comes in handy when throwing large swimbaits, heavy jigs, deep-diving cranks, and oversized frogs. The addition of SilentTune technology improves spool quietness during casts. SVS Infinity braking 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 Curado 200 M features an aluminum HAGANE Body for added rigidity to increase cranking power and overall reeling efficiency. MicroModule Gear, Cross Carbon Drag, and X-Ship deliver the tournament-tested smoothness, durability, and versatility for which the Curado family is known.
