It’s 30LB Yo Suri Superbraid and I’m running like a 15Lb leader with it. It’s 8 strand braid so it looks a little thicker then it actually is.

@@SlammedOutdoorsGotcha. I was kidding about the “we’ll rope”! How do you like the Yo-Zuri braid?

It’s pretty nice I haven’t had any issues with it and it lasts for a while, it’s also a really good deal.

@@SlammedOutdoors Hmm….may have to give it a try. Thanks! Good video, btw.

Thanks!

I was using live shrimp when I went but Greenbacks and or pinfish seemed to be the go to the last time I was there so the next time I get to go I’ll probably try those. Didn’t bring a whole lot of artificial but I’m looking for artificial stuff to throw the next time I go.

Nu uh

@@SlammedOutdoors gets a devious idea and says hear me out when he catches a carp

😳

I’d try to loosen the tension knob to around 50-60% ish depending on how much line you have on the spool, the spool should still rotate but it should barely wiggle back and fourth if you put your thumb on it. If you set the tension knob about halfway this should help with that, the rest of the adjustments can be made with the brakes by setting it to 3 or 4 to start with and go from there. Hope this helps!

It’s weird that it’s still slipping with flouro, if it’s still an issue you could put a piece of electrical tape on the spool over the knot that you used to tie the line to the spool and that should help if it keeps slipping, braid has a bad tendency to slip if it’s tied directly to the spool. If it’s slipping on the hookset you might just need to tighten the drag unless your breaking off on the hookset. If this doesn’t help it lmk or check with bass pro to see if they have any possible solutions or if something is wrong with the reel itself.

You’re right thanks for the help I misidentified it!

That is 100% a bass, we don’t have any pike in any of the lakes that I fish

That’s awesome! Glad you landed him that had to be insane!

The bucket of water is probably the best way to get new line on if you’re by yourself! Great point!

Personally I like to cover ground just because the fish typically hold in like 3-4 different spots at my ponds so I like to try and at least spend like 10-15 minutes in those spots if I have time. The multiple rods is a pain Ngl but it’s faster then stopping to retie 3-4 times if I’m not sure what they’re eating, if I can get on a pattern I like to take my rods back and just fish with 1 rod plus the backpack because it’s way more efficient. I usually like to setup my bag and the rods I’m not using in a spot then fish the bank within like 30 feet of that then switch rods and repeat until I decide to try a different spot on the pond or decide to tie on a different bait. Also in my experience if I don’t get a bite in a specific part of the pond within like 30 minutes either none of the baits I’m using are working or the fish aren’t holding where I’m fishing.

I don’t see a huge difference between the XG and the HG personally, I’d probably get there HG if you can find it at a little bit cheaper price. Both reels are still on the fast end so I would probably look into the HG.

You are an interesting critter bro

Nu uh

I have 30 LB braid on mine but I would recommend anywhere between 30 and 50 LB depending on how heavy of cover you have to fish.

I would try tightening the drag and see if that fixes the issue.

@@SlammedOutdoors appreciate it

Thanks!

Thanks, definitely a lake worth being on the bucket list!

I've heard good things about the Scorpion DC, honestly thought about getting one a while back. What do you like about yours?

​@@SlammedOutdoors unlike the curado dc the scorpion dc comes with the same adjustment as the 2016 metanium dc; which is iDC5 and give you more setting

Oh I forgot that the Scorpion has a better chip then the Curado, I think I heard the bearings and the drag is also better quality in the Scorpion.

Didn’t make the cut 😔

12LB flourocarbon

I was using 30lb braid with a 20lb flouro leader, leader was a little light but it held up ok. The flouro was seagar red label

Thank you. Going there next week!!!

Good luck!

Thanks for watching! Hope you get into some fish down there!

Oh yea definitely not lol, the audio didn’t come through clear enough to hear the sarcasm 🤣

The Snook were following and hitting the Zman Mulletron in the 4inch size. The Johnson gold spoon is a go to also. The Mirrolure Mirrodine is a really good bait there but I didn’t have any luck on it personally. Most of our fish on the trip were sheepshead and those pretty much all came on live shrimp.

Yea

You might have to move the tension knob a little bit but probably not much

Thanks, those things are ruthless

It’s Amazing hope you enjoy it!

Starting to think this guy doesn’t like Florida

Thanks!

The electrical tape works pretty well, if you use electrical tape you won’t need to have the mono and you can just go straight to the braid. The tape or the mono both serve as a surface for the braid to hold to so the line doesn’t slip but you won’t need the mono if you have the electrical tape

@@SlammedOutdoors thank you because I don’t have no old line laying around and I just got my self braided line for my bait caster

Thank for the sub!

Thanks!

Łowiłem tak i nie zbrodziłem. Jak jesteś upośledzony i nie umiesz łowić multikiem to kup sobie ruską katuszke

Happy it helped, Hope you catch some fish on it!

I fish in Ohio and our water clarity is all over the place, most of the places I fish it’s a clear/blue kinda color. The best times to go are typically in the morning or the last couple hours of daylight, in the fall I like to fish mid afternoon since that’s when it’s the warmest. The creature trailers are great, I’ve started using chunk style trailers which have been killing it for me. They don’t have a lot of action but this helps since the fish I’m fishing for are really pressured.

The wiggle amount should be the same for every lure with the Curado DC. The reasoning behind tightening the spool so it doesn’t have any wiggle is to ensure the DC chip in the reel can get the correct casting distance without backlashing. I haven’t personally noticed any difference with rattle between the different lure weights but I have notice a little as you lose line on the spool over time. If you think you’re going to throw lighter baits on your curado I’d recommend maybe tightening the tension knob a little bit past the point where it wiggles or set the brakes to 4 until you get the casting distances dialed in. Thanks for the sub! Hope this explanation helps!

@@SlammedOutdoors so this is what I find confusing though. Do you not adjust the spool tension individually for each lure so that they drop "slow"? If I adjust the spool tension only to the point where the rattle goes away then the lure still drops pretty quickly. My instinct is to tighten it more so that I get a slow drop on the lure but then I'm tightening it considerably more past the point where the spool just stops rattling.

Yea it seems really weird at first, you don’t need to adjust the tension by bait on a Curado if it has the DC chip in it. If you have problems backlashing with it set this way then I’d probably tighten it a little but I haven’t noticed it being a problem. The DC reels are probably the only baitcasting reels like this, It was a weird adjustment when I switched to it also.

@@SlammedOutdoors perfect! That's the answer I was looking for. Man that's such an adjustment for the brain. Up until now it's always "Make sure you readjust your tension knob every time you put a new lure on!"

I still don't get it. If I do it this way I get very little to no distance fishing weightless or light lures

I do too, it’s amazing!

Thanks!

That’s good to know, I haven’t noticed anything major differences between my backed ones and straight flouro when it comes to weight but that might just be me. Does save some $ to use the backing and I feel like I get better casting distance

@@SlammedOutdoors yep . I am a daiw a fan. I have a new Zillion 21. And I put max 75m of 1.5# on. It allows me to cast at least 30+m cast even with a short 1.90 rod.

@@AndreyOkhrimetsI always use backing on my casting reels when using braid. Keeps it from slipping by giving it something to “dig” into, that’s pretty common knowledge. Other than that I just spool straight fluoro or mono with no backing.

What on earth are you talking about.?

That’s really cool, I went to that 5k last weekend to watch and help out. Hope your race went well!
