Crafted with tournament-grade durability and exceptional reliability, Shimano designed the Curado 300 for anglers who prioritize quality over quantity in their pursuit. Featuring a deep 300-size spool tailored for heavy-pound line, this reel offers ample capacity for extended casts. Equipped with a long handle and wide-grip knobs, the Curado 300 grants anglers the extra power necessary when engaging in battles with sizable fish. Its robust HAGANE Body forms the backbone of the Curado 300, ensuring minimal flex when tackling monumental catches. Available in two gear-ratio options—a standard 4.7:1 and an HG 6.6:1—the Curado 300 allows anglers to select a reel that aligns with their fishing style and requirements. The 4.7:1 model caters to anglers favoring slower, methodical presentations or using Alabama rigs or magnum crankbaits. On the other hand, the HG's 6.6:1 gear ratio provides a swifter retrieve, perfect for anglers employing an aggressive bait manipulation technique or rapidly collecting topwater slack. Tailored to handle sizable baits for formidable fish, Shimano engineered the Curado 300 for unwavering performance, ensuring it never shies away from the challenge.
