Pro Tip Before fully tightening the knot, moisten it with water or saliva

Advanced Casting Technology MGL Spool III: Ultra-thin, lightweight spool design reduces startup inertia by 15% for longer casts with a wide range of lure weights SVS Infinity Braking System: Consistent spool control with external dial for quick on-the-fly adjustments to match lure weights and conditions Super Free Spool: Eliminates friction on the spool shaft during casts for maximum distance and control S3D Spool: Three-dimensional design reduces vibration for stable, precise casting performance SilentTune Technology: Applies pressure to spool bearings to minimize vibration and noise for quieter, more efficient casting Premium Construction and Durability HAGANE Body: High-rigidity metal frame eliminates flex under pressure, converting every crank into efficient power transfer X-Ship Technology: Dual-bearing support for the pinion gear maintains precise alignment under heavy loads, reducing friction and improving smoothness MicroModule Gearing: Smaller, precision-cut gear teeth increase contact points for ultra-smooth retrieves, reduced vibration, and enhanced feel Cross Carbon Drag: Smooth, reliable drag performance with up to 12 lbs of max drag for versatile applications S A-RB Bearings: 6+1 shielded bearings prevent debris intrusion for buttery-smooth rotation in harsh environments Versatile Performance with Extra Capacity The Curado 200 M excels across a wide range of bass fishing techniques where extra line capacity is beneficial
