Great Video Joe Shimano DC reels are great reels however, few beginners are going to buy a $200.dollar reel starting out. Most of us less wealthy anglers might buy a less costly reel from KastKing or maybe E-Bay. What rod and reel would be a good one to look at for a lower cost? What is the best line to use for a beginner? You don’t need water to practice casting. Practice plugs come in different weights and sizes. Everyone has backlashes and if you don’t fill the spool full, it is easier to fix boo-boos. If you fill the spool, you can pull out 50-feet of line and put some tape on the reel spool that reduces having to fix real bad backlashes too. It is easier to cast a while without water before going on your first fishing adventure. If you hit yourself with a rubber casting pug, it stings a little, if hit yourself with a lure with hooks you might be going to urgent care. Something to think about.
@capitolbassfishing
@capitolbassfishing 4 года назад
Gizmo Carr actually made this video for my friends son who is a first timer and he got the DC for Christmas. That said, you can apply these strategies to a normal reel too. Maybe I will do a general bait caster set up for a follow up video.
@gizmocarr3093
@gizmocarr3093 4 года назад
@@capitolbassfishing That is what I hinted about in the comment. You did a great job talking about casting and demonstrating what you were explaining. People who are experts or think of themselves as one often confuse new anglers with too much information at once. Few anglers cast the same way. However, the results are what are important. Making a long cast is not as important starting out, as learning to hit where you want is. The best directions come in the box with the reel and no one reads them.

I am amazed that people don't understand you never need to adjust the brake on a Curado DC reel. In fact, it will mess your reel up by changing the factory setting. If you do a You tube search for tackle warehouse and Curado DC overview, the Shimano rep will make this very clear. You also still need to lightly thumb the DC reel when casting.
@capitolbassfishing
@capitolbassfishing 2 года назад
although that is true for someone who uses baitcasters already I would argue not true for a total newbie. There are no factory settings...there is a tensioner and numbers 1-4 and A . Thats it. Tensioner is used to get the spool just to the point where side to side play is gone. The 1-4 and A settings is line and or conditions dependent. On the scorpion there are line settings addtionally under the cover plate. The reason I would argue my point is like with any Baitcaster you can tighten the tension on the spool to help the beginner with casting and backlash and the DC is no different except the brilliant braking system helps even more. Nothing gets broken, messed up or damaged...you are probably more expert with your baitcasting so most likely you can use it right out of the box...but i cant tell you how much this method (in my video) has helped my buddies while only giving up a little casting distance they totally get the hang of a baitcaster in a single day and we never pick out a birds nest. Beautiful.

And about throwing over your head as a beginner with a 40$ baitcaster from Abu I Cast and when your just about at the top of your head with a rod you let go and it cast far and you wont get a backlash but don't act like your casting to get it out to the moon lightly cast the rod over your head and it will fly far and like you said when your lure is almost at the water you use your thumb I learned with very very cheap mono line and in 1 week of casting into my yard I got really good in 1 week I bought 60lb braid and it still cast very far I use 60lb braid not for the the test lb but so I don't get line dig had that happen with 6lb mono and 20lb braid so I use 15lb mono at least and 60lb braid Depending what fish I'm after I will use between 60lb to 90lb braid

Great tutorial man. But this is off topic what kind of line are you using? I got some 12LB fluorocarbon to go with mine
@capitolbassfishing
@capitolbassfishing 2 года назад
no completely ON TOPIC. the line makes a difference. I think braid is the easiest to get used to standard 30lb. Flouro and Mono work fine just have to keep an eye on it a little more and tougher to pick out when you backlash...I use 12lb flour on my commonly so that should be fine.

When I was a kid I only used a conventional for saltwater and every time it was "Ill help you get your first birds nest out after that your own your own until I can get to it" needless to say you learn to get good at getting them out. Thinner line can make it a little harder cause the line can break easier. I always felt braided line birds nests are much easier to get out but it's all part of the process

GREAT video, thanks! If you had to pick one, casting distance with a light lure is most dependent on (a) rod (b) baitcaster vs spinning reel (c) settings on the baitcaster? Thank you.
@capitolbassfishing
@capitolbassfishing Месяц назад
good questions and all matter...but...Light lure...spinning reel is best, rod is second and finally...they do make BFS baitcasters designed for light lures but I think spinning gear always wins in that category...so B - spinning reel.

How do you have to cast different for different lures? Like for topwater do I have to change any setting or do anything different than if I was throwing something like a crank bait or jig?
@capitolbassfishing
@capitolbassfishing Год назад
good questions, its really weight and wind. If you have a heavy weight...Jig, Chatterbait etc. very little issue, if you put on a light popper and experience a headwind then you may need to keep the brakes on a little higher to slow the feed of line as the lure may slow (due to wind) more quickly...make sense?

@@capitolbassfishing appreciate you man, thank you so much im not gonna lie I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed I know it’s a dc and they’re technically “fool proof” but I couldn’t even cast without this video my first 2 cast were 2 the worst birds nest I’ve ever seen, instantly after watching this video I had a decent understanding but in just 3 days I’m already at the “2” setting and I can bomb cast further and more accurate than ever before, I can make topwaters walk faster and better than I ever could and most importantly it’s just a fun reel to use, kind of addicting. Thank you so much earned my sub

Not sure there are different ones, this one is from Japan direct, no warranty...left hand...if that helps. I got it from digitaka. - Honestly get a SLX DC in america, save the money and get the warranty.

Hey Joe found your channel last night when I couldn’t sleep… great job by the way… just curious, I picked up a curado 151 dc yesterday and tested it out last night…was going good until I got the birds nest of all time… had to take home and still cut out a good chunk of brand new $20.00 braid .. this morning I tried again with much better results 15 lb power pro with a smaller plopper look a look a like… really able to get it out there on #2 setting but still have to thumb it before it hits the water. Is this normal? I hold my own with my conventional bait casters but thought it wasn’t necessary to do so with the dc’s…thanks!! You have a new follower!!
@capitolbassfishing
@capitolbassfishing 3 года назад
yes, thumbing is normal. Its not "autopilot" like alot of places make it seem. To get the longest cast you need to have the settings "loose" and still thumb it. I think its biggest strength is how well it handles mono and flourocarbon line. It keeps you out of trouble. Dont look at number three and four as "novice" settings they are there to help you. If you are bunching up on level two click over to three and enjoy your day. Dont sweat the settings and the thumbing. Over time I think you will start to really enjoy the nuance and advantages the DC gives you. Even still its not perfect. Tight lines.

i bought a curado dc a couple months ago. it's a nice reel. i like the noise. it's not my favorite though. i also have a lews mach 2 and a daiwa jdm sv lite ltd. i like the daiwa best because i do alot of creek fishing for smallies, and i throw lighter, smaller lures there. the daiwa is also smaller and lighter, and somehow, a little smoother. but it's $100 more. i smile every time i throw a tiny bait for a mile and a half. the lews is an amazing reel for the money. when it comes to bang for your buck, i dont think it can be beat. i've had mine for 3 yrs, and it's stood up to abuses i should be ashamed of. i started using casting reels in the 80's. my first was a garcia 5000. reels have come a looong way since those days
@capitolbassfishing
@capitolbassfishing 4 года назад
Yeah my buddy pat throws Diawa and he loves them. I didnt like the curado DC nearly as much as I like the Japanese version (very important) the japanese version of the SLX DC. Its the SLX DC 70 series found on www.digitaka.com its really smooth, smaller than the Curado and throws lighter stuff better. Honestly I think its better than the scorpion.

@@capitolbassfishing i went to their website. Is this an authentic reel? I want to order the curado 150 dc but I’m afraid since I throw a lot of light weight senko (weightless, wacky, Texas) that it may not work for me. The one you mentioned the SLX dc 70, is it authentic? How do you tie line to spool and it not keep spinning? I don’t see any grooves in it. Also in the pictures the piece that attaches to the rod looks like it’s made of polymer resin. Is that typical? Thanks!
