High speed, high power, high line capacity and low profile. The Shimano Curado 300 and 301E blends all of these qualities into one reel. The Curado 301E delivers large reel performance in a comfortable low profile reel for the left-handed fisherman.

The 301E is only slightly larger than the Curado 200 reel. Shimano has made use of a low profile style frame and widened the base of the reel to accommodate the deeper and wider spool. The higher line capacity of the 300E and 301E allows an angler to make longer casts with heavier lines or braid and gives an angler the ability to handle the long runs of larger fish. The High Efficiency Gearing on the Curado 300 and 301 provides fish fighting power, a high speed gear ratio and extra torque for all day chucking and winding. All the features of the HEG system are made possible by the oversized drive and pinion gears. Shimano also made sure that the drag system on the Curado 300 and 301 matched it's other design traits. The Dartanium Drag on the Curado 300 and 301 provides a wide range of settings and generates 15 pounds of fish fighting drag.
