Let's take a look at 4 of Shimano's new Curado rods! In this video I discuss my experiences with the:
7' Medium Spinning
7' Medium Heavy Casting
7'2 Medium Casting
7'2 Heavy Casting
How do they fit into Shimano's current lineup? What makes them stand out in the market? Are they even any good? Check it out!

I have the exact same combo setup! I love it. SLX DC 151HG reel on the 7" Curado MH fast action rod is one of the best combo out there for your buck!

Very nice, I'm gonna to reference people to this video when I do my sub-$200 rod round-up video here soon, as I agree with you on the Curado rods

Thanks Gramps!!! I really enjoyed my time with these rods and was actually blown away by the 7'2 H if you couldn't tell!

I would like to add that these rods are so incredibly strong. You can give these things hell and they’ll keep kicking. This is my go to rod when I’m not using G Loomis because I’m pretty hard on my gear.

Have a SHIMANO Bass One XT 1610 for one Curado 151 HG DC. Thinking of a Curado rod for my other 151 HG DC which do think would be most compementary out of the Curado rods. Would be great the combo of Curado reel & rod? Love my reels… Great video!

This will be my next rod purchase.

Easily one of the best rods you can buy under $200

The original curados didn't compare to even the older Zodias & now I feel the new design is almost identical to the older Zodias models before the Monocoque handle. If I was to buy anything other than Zodias or expride I'd probably go this the Curados. The color scheme are great tho.

It’s like a improved version of old zodias

Seems like the curado got the old zodias handle. When the zodias was $200, it was a killer deal.

It basically is an old Zodias

Thanks 🙏 looking for a good jig rod, I assume the 7 2 H would work a frog 🐸 good as well.

I didn't use it as a frog rod but I'd have no problem at all using it as one. Slap some 50-65lb on there and let er' rip!

I love my 2 curados and my 2 expride B. But for some reason I favor my curados more

Try the Expride B

Mitch now that you have fished them a little what do you think of the Curado today ? Have you ever compared it to the Expride B ? I have a Couple St Croix Legend Bass rods and I am getting tired of paying $300 plus for a Rod. Thanks

@FishinMitch 6 ай бұрын

The Curado rods are solid for the price. I haven't used the Expride B yet but from what I understand they are spectacular. I think if you're looking for a quality rod with a higher end feel but don't want to spend $300, the Zodias is a great option. Has a little better components and feels a little nicer than the Curado rods, but it comes in at the low $200s.

How is the bend in the rod? I’m looking for something something with a bit of casting distance and sensitivity aka is it a stiff rod/is the tip of the rod stiff or has a bit of bend to it? (Specifically the casting rod)
