Compact, lightweight, and tuned for high performance in finesse fishing scenarios, the Shimano Curado MGL 70 K Baitcasting Reels are the latest edition to the legendary Curado low-profile lineup. Equipped with a shallow, lightweight MGL II Spool, the Curado MGL 70 K is designed to excel at throwing light lures on light lines for finesse presentations. The MGL II Spool requires less start-up energy due to decreased inertia and results in longer casts with reduced effort. With this technology, anglers can utilize baitcasting gear for applications that were previously considered spinning tackle techniques. Not limited to finesse fishing, the MGL 70 K is also a great choice for anglers pitching and flipping in tight cover, or for anyone who doesn’t mind sacrificing line capacity for comfortable palming and reduced weight. Despite its smaller size, the MGL 70 K has plenty of stopping power thanks to a Cross Carbon Drag. As to be expected from any reel in the Curado family, these reels offer a plethora of proprietary Shimano tech that make it one of the most feature rich reels in its class. The use of Shimano’s fine toothed MicroModule Gear allows for a buttery smooth retrieve that stands the test of time, while the SVS Infinity Braking system offers a wide range of adjustment to help you dial in the perfect cast regardless of conditions.
