Shimano Curado M 151/151HG

The Curado M is a reel that combines the perfect blend of versatility, cutting-edge technology, and incredible value. Sitting proudly at the core of Shimano’s renowned ‘MGL’ baitcasting line-up, the 150-size spool is the perfect size for anglers who prefer lighter rods to cast medium to lighter weight lures with absolute precision. But don’t let its refinement mislead you, the Curado M has the strength and power to overcome hard-fighting fish with ease and confidence.


If you're searching for a mid-priced baitcasting reel that punches well above its weight, the Curado M 151 is your answer. Engineered for peak performance, it combines elite-level technology with featherweight lightness and impressive strength and style. At its core lies the refined MGL III spool and SVS Infinity braking system, designed to cast medium and lighter lures with pinpoint precision, even into the trickiest cover and tightest spots. The featherlight yet rugged 150-sized CI4+ body pairs beautifully with lighter rods while delivering the muscle to take on aggressive, hard-fighting fish. And to match your fishing style, the Curado M comes in three dialled-in gear ratios—6.2:1 (STD), 7.4:1 (HG), and an ultra-fast 8.1:1 (XG). Smooth, smart, and built to perform - the Curado M doesn’t just meet expectations, it exceeds them without compromise.


The Curado M is a reel that blends lightness, raw power with refined precision. Built around a lightweight yet rock-solid CI4+ body and featuring Shimano’s Micromodule II Gear and X-SHIP system, it delivers the kind of silky-smooth performance and bulletproof durability usually reserved for high-end reels. You're not just getting value here - you’re getting top-tier engineering at a fraction of the price.


But what truly sets the Curado M apart is the MGL III spool paired with Silent Tune and SVS Infinity braking. This trio of technology reduces start-up inertia and vibration, producing effortless longer precision casts with lighter lures. And whilst it’s a dream to cast, don’t be fooled by its finesse. When the battle gets brutal, the Cross Carbon Drag steps in with relentless stopping power, giving you the upper hand against the toughest fish.
