Shimano Curado M 151 Left Han Reel

Lightweight, powerful and high-end technology for precision baitcasting.

The Curado M 151 Left Hand brings together Shimano's signature high-performance engineering in a compact format (size 150) designed for anglers who prefer lightweight rods and medium- to light-weight lures. Its ultra-light CI4+ body, low-inertia MGL III spool and SVS Infinity braking system enable longer, smoother, more controlled casts without sacrificing reliability or fighting power. Integrated with technologies such as HAGANE, X-SHIP, Micromodule II and Cross Carbon Drag, the Curado M offers an exceptional combination of smoothness of operation, durability and stopping power.

Why choose the Curado M 151

• Ideal for casting medium-light lures with maximum accuracy and reduced fatigue.

• Low inertia spool (MGL III) and Silent Tune for longer, vibration-free casts.

• SVS Infinity brake system with quick external adjustment for lure changes on the bank.

• CI4+ construction: stiffness and weight savings for handling the Reel with thin rods.

• Cross Carbon Drag: smooth and powerful drag in demanding fights.

Key technologies

• HAGANE: robust design and precision gearing for durability and resistance to heavy use.

• X-SHIP: reinforced sprocket and gear support for increased power transmission and stability.

• MGL Spool III: thin-wall, low-inertia spool for improved casting distance, control and feel.

• Silent Tune: Tensioners under the bearings eliminate unwanted movement and vibration, improving smoothness and distance.

• SVS Infinity: brake system with internal counterweights and external adjustment for fine control of the spool on the cast.

• CI4+: ultralight and very rigid body material that reduces weight without losing strength.

• Cross Carbon Drag: high capacity and progressive drag system.

• Micromodule II / S3D / Super Free (SF): gears and spool design that reduce vibrations and friction, providing smoothness and longer casting distance.
