Hey Folks!

This week we go over one of my flagship reels in my arsenal, the Curado DC from Shimano. Now, DO NOT get me wrong, this is a FANTASTIC reel and I absolutely love using it. However, do I think its worth the extra money for the DC component? Well...

Thanks as always,

I run my slx at 2 never any issues unless I try to absolutely send the bait across the lake then I might get a quick bird nest.

Started with an slx dc, loved it so much I ordered the 2023 Antares DC MD XG for big swim baits. The biggest problem with DC reels is not having more 😂 I will say my Curado 71 mgl is dope af even if it’s not a dc reel. Anything Shimano will be high quality regardless if it’s a dc or not🤘🏼

One thing that can't be discounted: the benefit of DC to people learning to use a bait casting reel. I've owned DC reels since they came out...I like them a lot...

@@FurtherNorth absolutely, however I think it kind of takes the “learning” out of it. Practice makes perfect. They absolutely have their time and place, but I think the DC aspect is a bit misleading with how it’s advertised!

4 is skipping/wind mode bro. Use 2 or 3 for regular use.

Im on 3 all the time. My point is that even on 3, the DC doesn’t seem to prevent a backlash. I backlash far less on my Tranx 200 then I do on my curado DC. I think that says something…

@@joebobsbass it does for me at 3. I even use 1 or 2 for certain things, but you have to thumb it. Just because its a DC doesn't mean you throw thumb control out the window. Im guessing your tension knob is a bit too loose if youre backlashing on 3.
