Quick take
A tournament-grade reel with I-DC4 digital braking for precise cast control.
This right-hand Curado DC 200 is a size 200 low-profile baitcaster with a 7.4:1 gear ratio and a metal HAGANE body, weighing about 230 grams. Its I-DC4 digital braking offers four modes on an outside dial, for max distance, braid or mono, fluorocarbon and skipping, which helps tame backlashes on long casts and in wind. The roomier spool suits anglers moving to heavier line and larger lures.
