My new Shimano Curado DC

[@Gerg872]

Just picked one up tonight, paired it with a St Croix BassX. Awesome reel.

[@jordanstechtalk9772]

Oh I bet that’s nice with the BassX! Enjoy it!

Have you adjusted the magnetic brake on the left side under the faceplate?

[@jordanstechtalk9772]

So on the Curado DC there is only the adjustment dial for selecting the line type and the tension knob. I haven’t seen a magnetic brake on it.

Try a square bill or a lipless crank bait soon

[@spungyfishing]

Is that the latest curado dc? Is it gray and black or is it green in the sun. I’ve heard people say that it is green in the sun, but in your video, it looks like a dark metallic graphite gray. I really want one, but would prefer it if it was not green.

[@jordanstechtalk9772]

The body itself is more of a gray color. The only green on it is tensioner knob and the metal portion of the handle that the grips are attached to. I just bought it about a month ago so I would assume it’s the newest model unless it was just old stock at the store. The green on the handle looks pretty in the sun. I do not notice any green at all in the body though.

They are Grey, I own a pair of DC150XGs , and a pair of DC200XGs . I have them on StCroixs, 71, 73, 76, 8 .. You will not find a better real at the pricepoint , and to be honest, even double the pricepoint !

[@LuckyLucky-bm1pg]

I own 2 dc reels. when you set the spool tension just enough to stop the side to side play in the reel you will not have any over run & limited backlashing. too many people buy these reels give a review on it and have done so tuning it as a normal bait caster & that is completely wrong.. stop treating it as a regular bait caster it is not that & you will certainly get the true functionality of the dc system..

[@jordanstechtalk9772]

Yeah definitely set according to the manual. Which do you have? I wouldn’t mind having a Scorpion. I about ordered one but found a deal on the Curado.

[@LuckyLucky-bm1pg]

​@@jordanstechtalk9772I own 2 scorpion dc, I just bought a curado to put on my uglystik rod. what I don't like about the curado is that in setting 4 the distance isn't far at all. but with the scorpion dc in automatic mode you still get good distance.

[@sorcings-]

So u dont tune it based on the lure weight and when it hits the ground just when the spoil doesnt wiggle left and right

[@anthonyarkadia9760]

Casting distance is so , so , overated it's a joke.! It is nothing more than a marketplace gimmick by manufacturers! Or between two dopes who don't know how to fish, and taunt one another saying , I can cast further than you!

[@jordanstechtalk9772]

You absolutely don’t need one. I got one out of curiosity mostly. I will say they have some advantages casting into the wind and I like that you don’t have to set the tension knob each time you swap lures. Plus they are fun to use. Casting distance is about equal to some of my non DC reels. I would buy another DC for sure as I really do like it. I’m glad I learned on a non DC baitcaster though. Thanks for watching.

set up looks sick!
