Infinity Drive system has been employed for the first low profile bait caster among Shimano, to offer more dragging-less, more efficient cranking. In the system, pinion is held by one ball bearing at the gear top, and spool shaft inside holds it. SVS Infinity brake system controls spool speeds. Micro module gears offer very smooth gearing.

The Shimano Chronarch MGL Casting Reels are packed with some of Shimano’s most advanced technologies to provide anglers with a lightweight, tournament-ready package. More advanced than before, the Shimano Chronarch MGL Casting Reels have been re-tooled with Magnumlite Spools, which allow for a low moment of inertia, requiring very little force to get it spinning.

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.

With two different adjustable handle positions, anglers can choose from positions that enhance either speed or power to better suit their jigging application. A buttery smooth retrieve is ensured with MicroModule gear.
