Shimano Curado MGL 150 HG Baitcast Reel

The Shimano Curado MGL 150 HG Baitcast Reel is the most compact Curado model on the market to date, designed to handle a wide array of lures whilst excelling at comfortably casting smaller lures. The lightweight MGL spool features reduced spool inertia for improved casting distance and accuracy. Palming the Curado MGL is comfortable due to its compact and lightweight design. To ensure that you have enough leverage, even over the biggest fish, this reel is constructed with a strong and rigid HAGANE Body.

MicroModule

The addition of MicroModule gear technology to the worm shaft idle gear reduces oscillation vibration. This is an incredible breakthrough in design and delivers an outstanding level of smoothness without sacrificing strength or durability. The enhanced smoothness results in greater sensitivity transmitted from your rod, line and lure to your hand.

XShip

Xship is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings, creating more stability.

CI4 Plus

CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used on many high end Shimano reels to increase weight savings. The use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.

MGL Spool

Magnumlite is a revolutionary cold forged lightweight aluminium used to construct Shimano’s lightweight spinning reel spools. This material is 30% lighter than CI4+!

SVS Infinity

Shimano’s newest innovation in brake system technology, 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 quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch bait.

Cross Carbon Drag

Cross carbon drag provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

S ARB

Shimano S ARB ball bearings are high corrosion resistant with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt and dust.

Super Free System

The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system (SF) is designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing and when the clutch is disengaged the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool.
