Product details

SHIMANO Curado Casting Fast is a 2.18 m baitcasting rod whose specifications clearly define its most suitable use. Shimano Curado rods use Hi-Power X blanks, lightweight CI4+ reel seats and Fuji FazLite guides, a combination designed for accurate casting, good sensitivity and dependable power with light to medium lures. The 2.18 m length provides good manoeuvrability and lure control, making the rod useful from both boat and bank. The 7–21 g casting range is the recommended total lure or rig weight. Inside this range the blank loads correctly, retains sensitivity and gives better lure control; the upper limit should not be exceeded. Fast action works mainly through the upper third of the rod. It is a strong compromise between sensitivity, hook-setting speed and fish control, suiting many active lure techniques. Two-piece construction is a strong compromise between natural rod action and manageable transport length. This model is best suited to versatile zander and pike fishing with jigs, wobblers and metal lures. A baitcasting rod is intended for a low-profile or round baitcasting reel; a spinning reel is not compatible with its trigger reel seat and guide layout.
