Shimano Curado Glass Casting Rod | CDC73MHPGA

The Shimano Curado Glass Casting Rod showcases Hi-Power X technology for increased strength and improved casting. The manufacturing process used on this Shimano Curado Casting Rod wraps carbon tape, forming x-shapes on the rod blank’s outermost layer, enabling precise actions and adding twist resistance. If you’re a tournament angler, the glass Shimano Curado baitcaster rod will suit your technique-specific approaches. Like all Shimano Curado Casting Rods, the glass Shimano baitcaster rod utilizes the Shimano C14+ reel seat, reducing weight and increasing sensitivity. Versatile Fuji tangle-free K guides with FazLite inserts lessen line tangles and accept monofilament, fluorocarbon, or braided fishing lines. The Fuji guides alone give you more time against the ticking tourney clock, so you can catch that big one on your glass Shimano Curado baitcaster rod. CI4+ Reel SeatCI4 is a Shimano-original material reinforced with carbon fiber. It is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material. This highly technical material is 2.5 times more rigid than CI4 and is used in Shimano reel seats to increase sensitivity and reduce weight. Using CI4+ for the reel seat also delivers remarkable rigidity for perfect reel fixation, resulting in better rod efficiency.Hi-Power XIn Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of ‘X’ 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. Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.Increased strength and improved casting performanceFuji tangle-free K guides with FazLite insertsCasting rod for tournament anglers with the power and action for when a check is on the line Please note: This item is unavailable for orders outside the United States.
