Abu garcia revo x vs shimano slx11/21/2023 ![]() Out of the box, it certainly can make a difference. ![]() The jury is still out for me on micromodule. It is also responsible for reducing vibration, which reduces noise, both aural and feel, allowing you to get more precise feedback from the business end of your rig. While bearings help, the smoothness you feel is a result of micromodule gearing. The result is a smoother, more powerful, and stable crank. The workhorse factor is born out in the stability provided by bearing support of the pinion. On the refinement side of things, pinion positioning refines the power transfer. Importantly, however, the pinon is supported by two bearings. Positioning the pinion closer to the main gear enhances power transfer. Xship brings refinement and stability together. It’s been retained for the K, and it’s a gem of a design feature. Xship was a welcomed feature on the Shimano I. The great thing about the Curado K is how many features Shimano has incorporated into it.Īnd I don’t mean “saltwater ready” or “ braid ready” headline fillers I mean genuine flagship technology. The Shimano K feature list is a feature unto itself. Interestingly, the bar is pretty darn high now. With the K, the Curado has cemented its future. The K is the perfect blend of go-to reel durability, refinement, features, and affordability. The Curado remains an everyday super-session reel, with additional durability, strength, and an even smoother feel. While it’s no deal-breaker, I’m out of ideas as to why Shimano would tax drag power to such a degree.ĭespite the new look, the K is in every way a Curado. However, I will never understand why they have reduced the max drag capacity, down 3 pounds from the Shimano I. The drag system was always reliable and predictable, but the addition of cross carbon drag has made for a more confident drag system with increased durability and increased setting adjustability. The Hagane body and CI4+ side plates have added rigidity with the S3D stable spool design and extra bearings delivering further stability. Micro module gearing has delivered a very smooth and light crank. ![]() Obviously, it’s been retained, but Shimano has also added a number of other flagship functions that have elevated it to a whole new level. X-ship was a huge addition to the Shimano I. I don’t mind that it’s a little heavier than its older brothers. I call it palmable and trouble-free for club-like hands. What appeals to some is horrible or annoying to others.įeel it for yourself. There isn’t.Įrgonomics lies deeply in the realms of the subjective. I tend not to go into ergonomics unless there’s something stupid to point out or something outstanding. Of course, with a new layout comes a new feel, and the ergonomics of the K represent an improvement. Would such tampering kill a golden goose? Many would argue that this is a bold and critical move for Shimano, as the Curado is a much-loved brand in anybody’s language. ![]() It’s matured, grown-up, and left the past behind. I tend to feel the new look reflects a watershed moment for Curado. So the K, with its new lines, matt black, and colored accents, has risen to meet modern trends. Stealth matt black over silver, longer handle (great), and lines give it a totally new look
