I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

[@greysonberes2082]

Shimano dc reels are great, especially for skipping under docks and casting into the wind. By the way, (at least for my slx dc), 4th setting on the brakes is for skipping, fishing light lures, and stuff like that. The 3d setting is for fluoro, 2d setting is for braid and mono, and 1st setting is for bombing lures to the middle, and you’ll need to use your thumb

[@fishingwithleif]

Facts.

[@bslim_4368]

The DC reels are set up different you want to set to dial on the right side to where the spool barley wiggles and the brakes according to the line you’re fishing with.

[@TheReelHellion]

Is that how YAKPAK got those quads? After running for the door after the 5 finger grab every time?!? LOL

[@joshwinkelman6098]

20:41 is a sweet transition! Great job zade!

[@MountainMenMilitia]

Dead serious that is the exact Max z I've had for 3 yrs it works so good and so reliable. Love that reel. Plus Dev keeps saying his Max z is plastic bro mine is a tank it's like solid steel plus it's a 7:1:1 pretty much the same as my slx DC. I also have a Diawa tatula and I'm telling you the Max is one of my favorites

Watching your videos has definitely helped me a lot. I got 2 small company sponsors by following your advice. Thank you norm!

Man, you're just barely getting into the Shimano DC....metanium and Antares would blow your mind! Plus the new Shimano scorpion DC (Japan only, you can get online) is amazing!

Ya it’s crazy that he has never fished a dc reel I think that shimano makes the best reels and st croix makes the best rods

Ya Dicks pulled the fishing section from my local store and it’s crazy cause we have an awesome lake for fishing. Navajo lake in Farmington NM is awesome for whatever you want to catch.

[@davidharig5973]

By far one of my favorite KZbinr Fisherman

[@kiteflying9317]

For Shimano baitcasters they recommend that your tighten the spool tension knob to where the spool doesn’t make that side to side movement or shake

[@collineuler1649]

I have the chamono slx dc the exact one you were using and I love it I think it is very good

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

I grabbed a Max Z spinning combo from Walmart and I got to say it's pretty decent for the price. I've had a cheaper combos from Walmart that have lasted years so I'm not surprised that the Abu Garcia is still decent being at Walmart

[@NextBendWoodworking9817]

I have found the best way to use my SLXTC is no sport tension and have it on the second break setting.

[@fishingwithcurly]

Hey so with the dc reels, you are supposed to loosen the reel tensioner to where it can almost wiggle back and forth. That’s where the chip comes in

[@fishingwithcurly]

I tend to keep my slx dc on 3 and I can sling prettymuch any bait with ease

Big shout out from Zimbabwe, awesome videos bud!!

[@blueyes0406]

I had the same issue and thought the same thing when it comes to Dicks without a fishing section. I went into the very 1st Dicks without a fishing section and I asked an associate why and she said it was because big tackle store were very close by. We had a Cabellas and a Bass Pro very close to the store. So I literally left and they're on my do not go into list bc they don't have a fishing section.

[@outdoorssmith5454]

You have to pack down the drag hood on the curado dc, I hook set on a 3 pounder with the goto gold and the drag still slipped locked down, also this reels are the dc 4 which means they have 4 brake settings and for flurocarbon put it on 3, just for future reference

[@EddieLindsay681]

The drag is supposed to slip, if it didn’t it wouldn’t be a drag 🤔😂🤣

[@patrickconnell6654]

I have two DC reels, Norm you need to read the instructions on how to set the tension it's not with the weight of lure dropping. To get it to work correctly you have to set it so the spool just wiggles, it's why you had backlashes so many times

[@charlesk1140]

I actually have 3 of the SLX DCs and 8 Curado DCs and both are phenomenal reels. The sound they make is crazy

In Idaho the two Dicks sporting store I’ve gone to. No fishing equipment. Funny part was the large vintage picture of fly fishing gear of what looked like one of there older storas you entered the store. Idea try the deeper pro shore fish finder.

[@bigjohn962]

I have actually been wondering about the Abu Garcia Max Z because I do not go fishing enough to warrant a really expensive reel because like you said they may be great today but after time they get crusty, but I still want a decent reel. So I am glad you did this video. It will probably be good enough for me.

My Cruado DC is the same way. I hate the drag systems on Shimanos, and that DC noise get real old real quick. I bought a Revo Premier and it's the only reel I like to use now. I also have a Revo X that I don't care for that much, but the Premier is the best caster I've ever used.

On dc reels you set the tension to where you just got a little side to side play in the spool and you never have to change it you don't have to set them like a regular baitcaster

Aye quick tip if drop the tension knob down a lil bit .. till the bait don’t don’t drop when you click it.. then you don’t have to thumb it ✅works with any baits
