Shimano Casting Reels
Shimano casting reels share the same precision technology in their gears and cranks that Shimano is known for in their spinning reels and Shimano bicycle derailleurs. This means you can use a Shimano baitcaster for years and years of fishing. Shimano makes conventional round baitcasters, low profile baitcasters, and down-rigger baitcasters. Baitcasters, in general, are used where precision casts are called for - not necessarily long casts. Casting, flipping, skipping, and pitching are all types of casts used with baitcasters. Baitcasting reels are also used for trolling.
Shimano Casting Reels: Curado DC
The low profile Shimano baitcasters are ergonomically made and easy to use. Shimano low profile baitcasting reels include a braking system that helps prevent "Birds-nests. These can occur at the end of the cast because of how fast the spool is turning when the lure hits the water. With practice you can control this by pressure from your thumb. Shimano has built breaking systems into their baitcasters to help prevent this from happening. In fact they have introduced a new Curado DC that has a micro computer that measures the spin 1000 times per second that prevents this from happening at all. Read about this fantastic reel below and many of the other outstanding Shimano Casting Reels. Available in three different gear ratios.
