Freshwater Reels

Tournament-tough quality and superb dependability, the Shimano Curado 300 Casting Reel is for anglers who aren’t just chasing fish but those targeting quality over quantity. Incorporating a deep 300-size spool intended for heavy-pound line and the needed capacity for extra-long casts, the Curado 300 features a long handle with wide-grip knobs to provide anglers with the extra power that’s necessary when pulling on big fish.

At the backbone of the Shimano Curado 300 lies its rigid HAGANE Body that prevents flex when that giant finally decides to commit. Available in two gear-ratio options — a standard 4.7:1 and an HG 6.6:1 — the Curado 300 allows anglers to find the right reel to match their fishing style and needs. Engineered with power in mind, the standard 4.7:1 model pulls double-duty for anglers fishing slower, methodical presentations, or when fishing with Alabama rigs or magnum crank baits.

The HG’s 6.6:1 gear ratio provides a slightly faster retrieve and is ideal for anglers aggressively working baits or for quickly picking up topwater slack. Built to fish big baits for big fish, Shimano created the Curado 300 to perform and never back down.

Features:

The Shimano Tranx 400A fishing reel features some of the most powerful and smooth performance ever made!  It is available with a dual paddle handle in the 400A and a single power handle in the 400AHG.  This reel will handle most anything that swims in freshwater and saltwater with it's massive cranking power and smooth effortless retrieve.  The Tranx is made for catching big fish due to it's reinforced Hagane body, X-Ship, and HEG (High Efficiency Gearing.)  Shimano's Core Protect technology provides long-lasting durability even in the harshest environments.  

We like the sleek styling, large handle, and the power of X-Ship in the Tranx 400A.  The massive gear and HEG gearing gives this a strong and powerful stance ready to throw swimbaits or catch yellowtail.  The low profile also fits well in hand and long distance casting is a breeze.  The Tranx 400A is in a league of it's own and we are sure you will like it as much as we do.

The Shimano Curado DC 150 Baitcasting Reel is built on the legacy of durability, dependability and versatility that Curado is known for, now with Shimano's unique DC braking technology.

Shimano’s new Digital Control braking system utilizes a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second and apply the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash and maximize distance.

Anglers of all skill levels will appreciate less thumbing and trouble-free casting in all conditions. In the past, reels that utilized Shimano's DC technology sold for upwards of $500...the new Curado DC comes in at only $269.99!

The Shimano Stradic FM Spinning Reels boast an illustrious history with two decades of setting the bar for excellence. Shimano is famed for its fishing tackle innovation, and the Stradic FM lives up to this impressive reputation with cutting-edge technology, design, and features to excel in the water. Fresh and inshore saltwater anglers are sure to find a model to meet their goals, ready to provide reliable service.

The Stradic FM features trickle-down technologies from Shimano's flagship Stella reel. InfinityXross gear tooth design increases surface contact, spreads load out over a larger surface area, and enhances efficiency and durability.Working along with Hagane cold foraged gearing and MicroModule II, the gearing not only feels remarkable with every turn of the handle out of the box but continues to feel the same way for years of use to come.

IInfinity Drive technology provides unparalleled cranking power for even the toughest fights, while the Dura Cross Drag system yields ten times the felt drag life and ensures smoothness and durability. Shimano X-Protect technology further safeguards the Stradic, utilizing coatings and a unique labyrinth design to prevent water ingress, all while minimizing drag and effortlessly prolonging the reel's lifespan. The new Anti-Twist Fin adds an extra layer of protection, minimizing the space between the bail arm and roller.  This piece works to alleviate any slack line from wrapping around the spool and keep the line more elevated, ready to take a fast hookset. With additional technologies feature packing this reel for optimal performance, it is no wonder why this reel sits atop a true favorite among light tackle anglers, whether salt or fresh. Built ready to meet new challenges and accomplish the day, look to the Stradic FM to be your favorite option in your arsenal.

The Shimano Tranx 500 Baitcast Reel is in it's own class of fishing reel.  This bad to bone reel has 25 pounds of drag, a super strong levelwind, a comfortable power handle, X-Ship for more torque, and the ability to cast long distances.  This compact powerhouse has two models, the (HG) or high gear which boasts 43 inches per crank at a 6.6:1 ratio.  The (PG) Power Gear is built for increased power with 30 inches per crank at 4.6:1 ratio.  Depending on what you are fishing for will determine which reel is best for you.  

If you're fishing deep on structure where they can break you off, you want the PG.  The lower gear ratio will give you more torque and power which will allow you to get the fish in with less effort.  Throwing lures like irons, Waxwings, or Rapala X-Raps, you want the HG.  The higher gear ratio will allow you to gain line faster, but you will loose power.  We like the HG for fishing lures so the lure can be fished at the right speed without over exerting yourself by turning the handle faster.  Both of the gear ratios are powerful but having options allows you to choose the reel that works best for your conditions.  Whatever you're fishing for, this bulldozer of a reel will get the job done.  

For the line to use, we like PowerPro Maxcuatro for it's strength and very thin diameter.  It will allow you to get 25% more line on the reel allowing you to catch fish up to 100lbs!  That is an amazing statement for a star drag level wind reel and this one of a kind fishing reel will do it without fail.
