The Curado range of lure fishing rods is aesthetically matched to the Curado casting reels and has been selected from the Shimano American Black Bass range, where it has proven to perform exceptionally well for light and medium-sized lures.The Curado is a range of modern lure fishing rods, specially selected from the Shimano American Bass range. Ideal for light and medium-sized lures, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better rod for the same price, for its casting accuracy and high power reserve, especially when paired with the Curado casting reel. Available in one or two sections, in spinning or casting versions according to your preference, the Curado stands out for its performance and value for money, with single-string models offering the best fishing action available.The secret of the Curado's brilliant casting performance lies in the Hi-Power X Full Carbon blanks. This exclusive Shimano carbon technology, until now used only on our top-of-the-range rods, minimizes blank twisting when casting. You'll also notice that it increases the responsiveness of the action when playing fish in tight situations, where supreme control is required.Equipped with a super-light Shimano Ci4+ carbon reel seat, selected to suit Spinning or casting reels, the Curado also features Fuji Fazlite guides and a split EVA handle. While you can certainly use this superb rod for pike, especially in the larger sizes, its real value lies in fishing for zander and perch, not unlike Black Bass. Cast a lure close to a bridge support, under a tree or in the water.
