Shimano Curado MGL

So there we go guys. My initial impressions on this Mgl150 is just as I suspected: it pretty much eliminated the two weaknesses that the 200k had, whi...

So this is definitely a reel that I could see myself using for walking top water lures as well as jerk baits for any technique that requires me to sna...

Not your fault! This sub needs a FAQ.

I’d recommend the Shimano Curado 70 K MGL. The Curado DC isn’t compact enough and it’s really heavy. I think the CU MGL 70 is a more pleasant reel to fish for a whole day.

I just got this reel yesterday so my three star rating is nothing more than a place mat; the need to put something in. This is more from an aesthetics angle. If you are hoping for a green reel or something that looks greenish, you will be disappointed. This is more like a charcoal or a dark gray ree...

Megabass Braillist with Curado 71HG MGL. Tested it out with a football jig and it’s phenomenal. Better sensitivity than my 7’ MH Legend X. Can’t wait for winter to be over and take it out next season.

Pros...light, cast far, drags stays put, easy to adjust drag, doesn't hold too much line. I've caught some big bass on them and the drag works great. They are very light so casing all day is easy. I'm 68 yrs old. Cons, the picture showed I'd be getting a green reel..It was black w green accents Afte...

Shimano Scorpion MGL is amazing for under $200, it's every bit as smooth as my Chronarch and

What's not to Like about it! Very smooth smell profile yet strong enough to bring in them big fish smooth cast great better them the Corado DC Reel and if you know how to use a bait casting reel how really needs a DC Reel

The reason I’m mentioning the MGL (150/151 and 70/71 size) is because they’re fairly light. Tatulas are generally lighter than the Curados, which is a plus, but the Tatulas aren’t lighter than the Curado MGLs. I would consider Daiwa’s spool and brakes superior, but the overall refinement the Curado offers in that price range is just better in my opinion. Otherwise I’m usually the one to pick Daiwa over anyone else, but at this price point, Shimano is a better choice for bass or redfin perch fishing.

This is one great reel. I have many bait casters from a little cheaper and some 3 times the price but if I had to choose one for an enjoyable day on the water, This would be it. Light, cast's easily and very versatile.
