Shimano Rods, Reels & Fishing Gear

Small in hand but large in durability, dependability and performance, the Shimano Curado MGL 70 K is a new addition to Shimano’s coveted line of Curado low-profile reels. The reel’s lightweight MGL Spool requires less start-up energy due to decreased inertia and results in longer casts with reduced effort. This advanced feature also allows the reel to excel for anglers fishing with finesses baits, such as handmade balsa baits, or lures that require light line for maximum fishability.

The Curado MGL 70 K is a great reel choice for anglers pitching and flipping in tight cover when increased line capacity is not required. But anglers shouldn’t be concerned about its compact size when fighting fish in close quarters or heavy cover, it is equipped with a Cross Carbon Drag to provide the needed stopping power against large fish. And just like the rest of the Curado family of reels, the versatile Curado MGL 70 K features MicroModule Gear for enhanced smoothness as well as a HAGANE Body for increased rigidity and durability for years of fishing performance.

Features:

• HAGANE Body
• MGL Spool II
• MicroModule Gear
• SVS Infinity
• CI4+ (Side Plate)
• Cross Carbon Drag
• X-Ship

The Shimano Ocea Jigger Star Drag Reel is a flagship-level star drag jigging reel that uses Shimano's Infinity Drive technology to reduce friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for paramount cranking power. It uses MicroModule Gearing for an unmatched gear feeling. The Ocea Jigger is available in 1500, 2000, and 4000 sizes. The 1500 size is recommended for fishing 50–80m, while the 2000 size is recommended for fishing 100m.

Equipped with Shimano's cutting-edge Infinity Drive technology, a redesigned main shaft supporting structure is employed to cut down friction with the pinion gear, which in turn results in greatly improved rotational torque. Rotational torque is also augmented by an adjustable long crank handle to provide the angler with exceptional leverage over heavy loads. 

The X-Protect feature enhances durability and preserves that out-of-the-box effortless rotation by utilizing a labyrinth construction that channels water away from key internal components, combined with a water-repellant coating. 

Shimano Ocea Jigger Features:

• Two position adjustable long crank handle offers all day jigging comfort
• Exciting drag sound allows anglers to know when they are in jeopardy of pulling hooks or breaking off
• Auto-Clutch return to easily bring the reel in and out of free-spool and react quickly to bites
• Spool lock allows anglers to more safely break off when they snag bottom
• New trouble free drag star design which allows for easy adjustment
• E.I. coating on the spool surface in order to prevent corrosion
• HG and PG gear ratios to properly pair with various jigging styles
• Shimano's best-in-class S-ARB bearings to provide long lasting performance

Looking to change the handle on your Shimano Tranx Reel?  This Shimano Tranx Power Handle is OEM and is made to fit all Tranx 300A and 400A size reels.  This handle fits the Tranx 300, 301, 300HG, 301HG, 400, 401, 400HG, 401HG.

This Shimano made handle is easy to replace, just remove your existing nut lock screw, the nut lock plate, and the chrome nut. Remove your existing handle and replace it with the new handle.  Be careful that the drag star doesn't pop off, it has a spring under it which gives it pressure from below.  Replace the parts you took off making sure not to over tighten the chrome nut. The nut lock plate might take a little adjustment so the plate nut screw lines up with the screw hole.

The paddle handle version is a double handle to give you better balance and more refined retrieves for fishing many types of lures.  The paddle handle works best when working lures or when you just don't need the larger power handle.  We find the paddle handle has better balance but not as much torque.

Deadly Slow-Fall Action for Deep-Water Predators

The Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jigs 300g deliver the irresistible slow-falling, fluttering action that triggers strikes from deep-dwelling gamefish when traditional speed jigs won't produce. Engineered with Shimano's innovative asymmetrical design and precision weight distribution, these specialized slow-pitch jigs create a unique horizontal falling action that mimics a wounded baitfish, triggering reaction strikes from even the most finicky predators in deep water.

Revolutionary Flat-Fall Design

• Asymmetrical Body Shape: Unique flat-sided design creates an erratic, fluttering fall that triggers strikes during the descent
• Horizontal Fall Action: Jig falls in a horizontal position, mimicking a dying or injured baitfish for maximum appeal
• Optimized Weight Distribution: Precisely balanced for ideal slow-pitch jigging cadence and natural presentation

Slow-Pitch Jigging Technique

The Butterfly Flat-Fall excels with slow-pitch jigging technique, where subtle rod movements create an enticing flutter and fall that drives fish crazy. Unlike traditional speed jigging, slow-pitch technique relies on the jig's natural falling action to trigger strikes. Simply lift the rod tip smoothly, then allow the jig to fall on controlled slack line. The asymmetrical design creates an irresistible horizontal flutter as it descends, often triggering strikes during the fall when fish are watching and following.

Target Species and Applications

Whether you're targeting deep-water rockfish and lingcod on Pacific reefs, working vertical structure for snapper and grouper in the Gulf, pursuing amberjack and yellowtail on offshore wrecks, or fishing for halibut and black sea bass on deep ledges, the 300g Butterfly Flat-Fall delivers deadly effectiveness. This weight class is ideal for depths exceeding 200 feet where current and depth require substantial weight to maintain bottom contact and proper jig action.

Why Vertical Jigging Specialists Choose Butterfly

Professional captains and serious vertical jigging enthusiasts trust Shimano's Butterfly series because it consistently produces when fish are deep, finicky, or pressured. The unique flat-fall action triggers strikes from fish that ignore traditional jigs, while the premium construction ensures reliable performance trip after trip.

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 Current Sniper Jerkbait is designed with Shimano's unique Propulsion Weight Transfer System for exceptional long distance casting - allowing the internal weight to slide back during the cast, and then springing forward when the lure hits the water. Ideal to target both calico bass and Yellowtail in SoCal waters and stripers on the East coast.  This was previously known as the Coltsniper.

Along with covering lots of water from lengthy casts - up to 22-percent longer than similar weight and length lures, anglers can work the Currentsniper jerkbait in a tight wobble action, or slide action by jerking it. With a slow floating design, it can be fished down to 3 - to 5-foot depths. Chemical finish treble hooks are featured at both mid-body and at the tail.

 When fish are breaking the surface or just subsurface, the Shimano Current Sniper Sinking Stickbait is going to be deadly!  This sinking stickbait is perfect for when fish are feeding on the surface and uses superior finishes and stout 3X strong hooks and split rings.  There are several retrieval methods that can be used effectively on many different predator fish.  

This was previously known as the Coltsniper.

Subsurface walk-the-dog is a very effective method and creates the illusion of a fleeing baitfish.  This can be more easily created using a spinning setup like the Shimano Thunnus and Shimano Terez but conventional rods and reels may also be used. Moving the rod tip while winding the reel with short pauses will cuase the bait to move left and right.  It's very important to give the lure some slack after pulling it each time.  If slack isn't given after each pull, the lure will not have the line needed to glide momentarily before you pull it again.  Skipping the lure on the surface is also a technique that can invoke a strike. Cast as far as you can and don't let it sink out.  Wind back the lure as fast as you can so that it skips on the surface.

We are excited to use the Shimano Current Sniper Stickbait on yellowtail, tuna, calico bass and striper here in Southern California.  We are sure it will work for any agressive predator fish you have.  Ideally we would use a 8,000 to 12,000 size Shimano Thunus or Stella spinning reel and an 8' to 9' Shimano Terez or Ocea Plugger spinning rod.  Line class is going to depend on what you are fishing for but 50-80lb Power Pro with a 4-7 foot monofilament or fluorocarbon leader would be ideal.  The leader size will differ but 30-50lb line would be normal range for this type of fishing.  Using a split ring on the nose with a solid ring on the split ring would allow the lure to move correctly.  You can also tie a loop knot of your chose to allow lure movement.
