Power. Precision. Performance: Three words characterizing the attitude behind the next generation of Bantam reels. Equipped with Shimano's Infinity Drive technology to provide anglers with unsurpassed reeling force, engineers designed the new Bantam for the power game. Attack thick vegetation, flip big jigs, burn 1-ounce spinnerbaits, or scour the depths with large crankbaits without resistance or hesitation. Built upon a one-piece aluminum CoreSolid Body, the Bantam provides anglers a solid in-hand feel and the confidence they need during hard hooksets while delivering the power required to yank fish out of the thick stuff. Now featuring Shimano's MGL Spool III with a decreased startup inertia, the Bantam enables anglers to cast further while providing them with the added versatility to fish a variety of baits and presentations. A reel with a reputation for toughness just got even stronger and more versatile: Don't shy away from heavy cover, expansive weed mats or thick hydrilla — step up your Power Game with the next generation of Bantam.

The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion Spool Lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, Shimano’s new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

Built on the legacy of durability, dependability and versatility that Curado is known for, the Curado DC now features Shimano's unique DC braking technology. The Digital Control braking system utilizes a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second and applies the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash while maximizing casting distance. Anglers of all skill levels will appreciate less thumbing and trouble-free casting in all conditions.

The new Curado MGL 150 offers anglers unparalleled versatility in the lightest-weight Curado to date. Continuing to add to the tournament-tested and dependable Curado lineup of low-profile reels, the new Curado MGL 150 offers unparalleled versatility in the lightest weight Curado to date. The perfect combination of 150-size spool combined with a MagnumLite (MGL) Spool, Shimano engineered the Curado MGL 150 for anglers to fish different techniques with various lure types and sizes with ease — and with greater casting distance and accuracy. Shimano engineers built the Curado MGL 150 to handle giants with a rigid aluminum HAGANE Body and durable Cross Carbon Drag. Precision gearing lies nestled at the heart of the Curado MGL 150 with Shimano reel technologies such as X-Ship, MicroModule Gearing and SilentTune to create an unmatched reeling experience. Tournament-ready yet smooth and efficient, the Curado MGL 150 is the perfect addition to an angler's arsenal whether they are on the tournament trail or chasing their next trophy fish.

The Curado 150 delivers trusted performance with advanced features. The SVS Infinity braking system offers consistent spool control with an external knob for on-the-fly adjustments. An ultra-thin MGL Spool III reduces inertia for smoother, more precise casting—even with lighter lures. Built around a rigid and durable HAGANE Body, this reel resists flex under pressure, translating effort directly into cranking power. Versatile, reliable, and tournament-proven, the Curado series remains a go-to reel for bass anglers.

Since 1991, the Curado has been a go-to for bass anglers, delivering smooth performance, lasting durability, and precision casting. From skipping docks to long casts and finesse tactics, this reel handles a wide range of techniques with confidence and control.
