Shimano Curado CU50E

Model	Max Drag(lbs.)	Bearings	Gear Ratio	Weight	Line Capacity (lb.test/yds.)
CU50E	10.0	5BB,1SBB,1RB	6.4:1	6.9 Oz.	10\105, 12\85, 14\70

For light bass lures and jigs, and also on the saltwater flats for redfish and sea trout, the CU50E and left-hand retrieve CU51E feature seven bearings – a shielded A-RB anti-rust bearing, five shielded stainless steel ball bearings, and a A-RG roller clutch bearing. “With an aluminum frame, A7075 aluminum Magnumlite spool and graphite sideplates, these new Curado reels are all about super lightweight – they weigh only 6.9-ounces, and smoothness with our strategically placed bearings,” Gant said.

Both the CU50E and 51E have 6.4:1 gear ratios and will retrieve in 25-inches of line per crank. Rated for use with monofilament, fluorocarbon and PowerPro braided lines, they will hold from 105 yards of 10-pound mono, and up to 80 yards of 40-pound PowerPro.
