SHIMANO CURADO DC VS SLX DC DEFINITIVE COMPARISON!!! Which is BEST for YOU? 

Thank you for taking the time to make this video available. I really appreciate it thank you 🙏

Best comparison of these two on RU-vid and because of this video I'm going with the curado dc

Thank you for the thorough video. I went with two DC's last season and will honestly admit, had a wonderful experience with them particularly on days when I was throwing light lures in some pretty poor, gusty conditions, which was most of the season on the lake I fish normally. My Calcutta's were bird's nest city many times on the water, but the DC just kept performing cast after cast. They were happy with whatever line I spooled up (from light floro to 50 lb. braid) and whatever lure I was tossing. Worth the dollars, in my opinion absolutely since I'd rather fish then repair line any day. I bought one retail, loved it, found a second online and saved a few dollars.

Great vid man!! Keep up the good work

Just about to make a purchase, this helped!

excelent video .. thank you i have been looking at both of those reals ..

My SLX thumb bar has some play too. Good Vid. I have both reel and I prefer the Curado DC.

I have used the SLX for 2 years and it's become one of my favorite reels in my lineup, it's extremely versatile, well built, and smooth on the retrieve. I actually won my first private tournament and caught majority of them with the SLX set up. I was looking to purchase a second and came across the Curado which costs roughly $100 CAD more. From fishing with it you can feel the biggest difference in the smoothness of retrieval, not sure why but the Curado definitely feels smoother to reel. Along with that it's made with better materials, although the SLX is very well built too. For casting, I'd say they're pretty much identical, as much as I wanted to see a big improvement to justify the price. I just wanted to own a Curado lol, most likely the next one will be an SLX because there's no need to spend 400 canadian on a reel

Been using the SLX DC here in the UK for a while great reel for casting 7.5g+ lures anything less I find hard and it can get a bit messy on the spool. Was hoping someone would bring out a bfs shallow spool for the DC but so far its not looking promising. Keep up the good work. We need a English review on the Diawa 2019 millionaire.

Enjoyed your comparison.

My new slx is on its way. Glad to know it wasn't a poor choice. 🙏🙏

Nice vid thanks for the info

Curado DC is just an awesome reel. So smooth. Best reel I’ve ever owned

I own both, not much of a difference. Now time will tell with durability, curado has 0 issues after 2 years. Slx I just got this year and abused just like the curado and so far so good

Just the info I needed.

Great video,, thank yu .

Brother which reel would you buy between the corado dc, corado mgl, slx dc or mgl and scorpion dc or mgl? Would you prefer the mgl dc or not?

Having a hard time deciding what reel I want to buy. either the Shimano curado DC Shimano SLX DC 13 Fishing concept Z slide Technical wize, I know all the differences. I don't have any place to look at them in person to feel if they're all the same size in your palm I don't want a super large reel. Any help would be appreciated and trying to figure this out . Which would you recommend thank you

I know you made a video in which you said scorpion but you were also dissappointed comparing it to the corado. Your opinion means a lot to me as i believe your assassment on reels is the best out there.

So question I just bought this reel! And I love it but let’s say I’m running either braid or fluoro whatever. Can I switch to the number 1 or number 4 since those call for specific techniques as long as I got my tension spool knob adjusted correctly? I only ask because I lm running fluoro and I have it like 2.5 and I was skipping east I tied something else on left it there adjusted my tension a little bit and got really nice distance. I wanna learn as much as possible for sure that’s why I ask

I own the curado dc now and had the slx previously, the curado imo is obviously the better of the two. After thousands of casts on both now, I can clearly say that the curado is wayyy more smoother and casts further then the slx. Save your money and get the curado, you won’t regret it. Plus the finish on the curado looks very nice!

What kind of problems would you have throwing braid on a different setting?

I bought this a motnth ago. It does charge only a little faster! Wish it worked like the example!!!!

what other sales are there besides tacklewarehouse?

Can the dc be turned off to use it old school if weather is perfect?

i own both and don’t see 60 difference in them and mine don’t sit on a shelf they get used 3-4 times a week

as someone who has never even owned a baitcaster, ignoring the rod, is there a max weight i can use on the bait? Im on the lookout for a new combo for pike fishing and im thinking about the SLX DC. Anyone with experience and opinions?

Next review Shimano exsence dc ss bro

I have been considering a DC reel. I haven't found any on sale yet. Thank you for this information!👍

got slx very fine reel but i want that dc as well, you cannot keep big bro away for a long

any deals on the dc anyware?

wish there was a test of the drags under load... or even a comparison if the drag washers are different

When do you think we can expect a Scorpion DC XG with a ~8.5 gear ratio, and micro module gearing?

What do you think the lightest lure you could cast with the slx please?

Curado dc(spool, tension knob cap, drag star) can it fit in slx dc?

ive noticed my slx dc is starting to feel rough like the gears arnt meshing properly ive put alot of hours on it...... bout to order a curado dc see if it out last the slx

I have both but rarely use them now since I have multiple metanium mgl B which are way lighter. They are both great but to me both feel the same no difference. Get the slx dc.

why do you flip to offhand when reeling in? if you cast wit strong hand isnt it better to fight fish with it as well ?

I have a slx and a scorpion slx is ok love the sorpion

My slx cast farther than my curado. No idea why. But I’ve gone back and forth so many times because it just doesn’t seem natural. Costs so much more. I don’t get it. And to be honest they’re both great reels so who cares.

Can you do Shimano tranx 300 vs curado 300

Of course they cast the same ..it's the exact same system. U pay the extra 60 bux for features .like the micro module gears ..x-ship . and a more fancy fit and finish

The verses are actually talking about making idols. Verse 5 says they can't speak and have to be carried. A lot of times these verses are mistaken for Christmas, which also is man made and of pagan origin.

I watch your vids for a while now and think they are great... Could you compare the SLX vs a china reel like the Zephyr? I would be very interrested in the results. Greetings from germany

spoke to someone who works in the industry and he said that Shimano are currently testing the Metanium DC replacement & that it would debut sometime early next year, but the weird thing he said was that it was in a bantam body? Have you heard anything about this?

Review shimano exsence dc ss please....

Thanks for the video but I already bought the SLX dc and I love it but now I want the curado dc

What setting would you use for copolymer?

I see the curado listed at 260$ consistently

I have both the SLX (non-DC) and the Curado DC. The SLX is problematic if you're not careful as the cover plate occasionally falls off when I inadvertently hit switch which slides too easily. The Curado DC does not have the switch but paint job seems to be more easily scratched. I bought reel covers for both to prevent scratching the paint job. Use SLX for bait casting and the SLX on a medium heavy rod for top water and crank baits.

Don't get me wrong, I'm dying to get my hands on a couple of these for windy conditions, but unless you're using braid it's almost impossible to get a decent hookset at 60 or 70 yards.

I bought an slx on eBay 140.00 hope I didn’t get zapped.

Would you pick, scorpion 21dc, slx dc, or curado dc?

I bought 2 Curado dc’s on Black Friday at tackle warehouse for 200 a piece

i have scorpion 17 dc and curado dc, scorpion works more better and more comfortable . is reason to pay 50 $ more compare to curado

Difference is the material there made out of is what you paying for

I bought the slx to learn to skip , I will show yu how to Grenada a spool ,,,,

SLX DC is now $199

The only thing keeping me from buying the slx dc is the color scheme.

do the seaknight redfox next, and the tsurinoya darkwolf bfs

No music please.

Daiwa steez sv tw vs shimano anteres dc

noobs purchase cheapest reels to learn. dcs are not inviting for trial and error noobs. skilled casters dont need the assistant microchip. the soundsignature is the sole value adder for advansed casters. this will be the loaner for skilled casters who dont want to waist time solving birdsnest on the water.

Pure lies

I have no idea if this is a good video or not because about a minute in I couldn’t stand looking at your thumb anymore. Your thumb nail is rough and split. I can’t stop staring at it…..

Could you talk any slower jesus

I bought the corado 200 dc and honestly the drag is low low for a big reel like that and expensive. Could've done better
