FEATURES

|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
MICRO MODULE GEARThe Micro Module Gear System creates a smooth retrieve. The new gear set makes use of smaller teeth and more of them. This means that there are more contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear. The result is a more efficient gear train with less gear feel. |
X-SHIPX-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts. |
HAGANE BODYThe HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength. |
SVS INFINITYThe SVS Infinity provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits. |

CI4+The new CI4+ is the next generation of Shimano's CI4 material and 250% stronger. It is over one and a half times stronger than Shimano's normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter. Because it does not contain metal, it is also impervious to rust. So, as a result of its strength and weight, it allows Shimano to create an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances. |
SUPER FREE SPOOLSF was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and actually can drag on the spool shaft creating friction that can limit the length of a cast. With SF the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing so that when the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. |
SUPER STOPPERSuper Stopper anti-reverse uses a one-way stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates back-play. This provides the angler with instant hook setting power. |
A-RBThese stainless steel ball bearings are specially treated to drastically increase the corrosion resistance of the bearing. These bearings will last at least 10 times longer than standard stainless steel ball bearings in high salinity environments. |
Product Description
Since 1978, when Shimano first made fishing reels available to the North American market, they have consistently produced top quality reels respected by anglers of all stripes: freshwater, inshore, bluewater - you name it, Shimano's perfected it, and anglers love it. And lo and behold, Shimano's done it again with the Curado 200 K. This new marvel is a high-performance 200-size low profile baitcaster delivered in a super tough, tournament-grade package that builds off the already successful Curado series of reels.
The industry has responded well to the Curado 200K too. It was been recognized as an ICAST 2017 Award Winner for Best New Freshwater Reel and with it's robust list of features and tech, its no wonder why it was winner. The Curado 200K features MicroModule Gearing to ensure a frictionless gyration and it's fortified with Shimano's newest set of reel technologies: the SVS Infinity braking system for fine-tuning, X-Ship technology for more smoothness and durability, and the S3D for consistent spool control and brake force. Other technologies it includes are Cross carbon drag, Ci4+, and I-DC4.
Available in 6.2:1, 7.4:1, and 8.5:1 gear ratios in both Left and Right Hand retrieve.

I’ve purchased 5 Curados now, and love everything about this model, the “I”, the “K” and the “70” are all fantastic... I will purchase nothing else. They are so easy to care for and adjust. I usually use 3/8 lures and it handles them perfectly, could even go heavier if I wanted.
I usually fish for Largemouth, but have caught 45” Northern Pike on it as well! It’s very versitile.
I’m my opinion, Shimano Curados are the best reel for under $400. I’ve looked into Shimano Citicas ($125) and they are nice, but a little ‘clicky’ when you retrieve... not nearly as smooth as the Curado! Spend the extra $50 for the Curado. My buddy swears by “Lews” but I can’t stand them as they are over priced for what you get. Can you spend more money for a better reel, maybe, but why?
Don’t settle for anything else, you won’t be happy on the water. I’ve got 20 years backing up my review and am proud to say so.
I was fighting a sheepshead and it was pulling some line off the reel. The line did not jerk and put unnecessary strain on my leader.
Only complaint would be the circular mode switch is very stiff. Just unlatch the side plate and loosen the screw. Put the side plate back on and just turn it back and forth a few times. Minor problem solved.
An excellent reel all around, been wanting one of these since I saw it online in August.
