The Curado MGL 150 HG Baitcast Reel is compact and powerful, while the Zodias Medium Light Baitcast Rod Zodias Medium Light Baitcast Rod is ultra sensitive. This awesome, new combo is built to impress.

The 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.

The Rod
The Shimano Zodias Medium Light Baitcast Rod has undergone a significant upgrade and now features Shimano’s exclusive Carbon Monocoque Butt for the ultimate in sensitivity. The Full Carbon Monocoque rod butt is made of hollow carbon construction, eliminating the use of EVA from the rear grip. This results in a very lightweight construction that is extremely sensitive and improves vibration transmission through the rod blank to your hand when working a lure. To provide the exact balance between power and finesse, the Zodias continues to feature Shimano’s Hi-Power X graphite blank and Ci4+ Reel Seat and upgraded Fuji Stainless Alconite K guides with a SiC tip. Finished with the slick red and black cosmetics that have made the Zodias series a perfect match for many Shimano reels.

Carbon Monocoque
Carbon Monocoque grip is a new level of high sensitivity for rods with the innovative idea of hollowing the rear grip by carbon integral moulding. This allows for unprecedented lightness and sensitivity.

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of inchXinch shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.
