I just got this in the mail and used it this past weekend inshore fishing. Spool it up with 10 lb Braid and you'll see even better performance. I had the brakes set as low as it would go and it never rat nested. Easily the best baitcaster I have ever thrown. For $200 you cant beat it.

[@MrT1-b5f]

Where did you buy it from?

[@THEREELTEST]

i might be using more braid in the future, I just hate tying leader knots with my bad eyesight

[@chaoyang9080]

10 lb braid is gonna dig in too much when pulling fish.

[@twiggsherman3641]

I imported a Scorpion MGL spool from Japan and replaced the spool in my 200K. Made it a much better casting reel. The only reason I'd prefer the MGL 150 over a Scorpion MGL would be because of the weight difference. It's only an ounce more then my hypermag.

You mentioned us OCD people with having 3 breaks on. Do you think that will actually matter on the performance of the reel? As in having it symmetrical rather than 3 on one side and 3 off on the other.

[@floridasaltlife]

neat content !!

[@greenpighunter6930]

Excellent. Thank you. But spooling a 70 MGL on the cast in actual fishing conditions, I'd like to see if loaded with appropriate line and lure.

[@adammeyer3798]

For the money, if you had to choose 1 of the following based on your experiences with them, could you rank the 2020 Metanium, 21 Scorpion DC, and the Curado 150 MGL? (Techniques ranging from pitching/flipping, top water, and medium cranking)

[@THEREELTEST]

Metanium over the Scorpion because of its weight and size. 150 MGL third.

[@Chaos10691]

How do you feel this palms in comparison to other Shimano reels? Better than the 200K? I love the 200K but it does feel bulky.

[@THEREELTEST]

The only advantage I see for the 200k is that mine is smoother. Dont get the wrong idea though, theres a reason the 200K is a best seller. Its a great reel.

What is the maximum bait weight that the reel can throw mgl150?

[@ericprestegard7936]

What would be a good internal and external brake setting for someone newer to baitcasters and throwing a 1/2 crank bait to prevent backlashes?

[@adamcartes9569]

Just turn more breaks on at the beginning and work your way down

[@yajmeneu]

Start with how ReelTest did it, max everything out and dail down. 1/2 oz Crankbait can still cast with max brakes and barely wiggle spool tension(important). Everyone casts different, ex. - my brother in-law's settings I have to dail down just to cast as far on his same reel/rod bc he's taller/stronger. Him casting on my settings, he'll back lash constantly. Just remember wind conditions affect baitcasters of any price a lot. General rule, High Winds = High Brakes Brand matters too, Daiwa SV TW 103-70 is a match to these Curado MGL 150-70. Daiwa are much more user friendly though (zero dailing system, no internal brakes to adjust, ect.) Daiwa SV TW are automatic cars, Shimano Curado MGL are manual cars.

[@miehunterwild]

Can use for saltwater ?

[@acenutz9545]

Could you try the lews crush reel

[@billfrench4181]

This video is by far not a good reel comparison as throwing a half ounce plug on the "proper rod" makes a big difference in the trajectory speed in which the line comes off the spool. That Expride being thrown with the 150 is a far better rod compared to the one used for the 200K. The Expride is going to engage the spool in a totally different manner than the lesser of rod which is a shimano conversion...not a fair comparison by no means, and in no way am I bashing this review bc I believe @THEREELTEST typically does a more in depth and far more informative breakdown of reels compared to most.

[@THEREELTEST]

Its a Bantam, not an Expride and I mentioned the differences in the video

I've had problems with my 151HG not wanting to reel up the line. What could I be doing wrong.?

[@kaleb-olson]

Sounds like the line on your spool might be spinning and not moving with the spool. Did you tie a knot before spoiling? Did you put some electrical tape on your spool before loading it with line? Are you using braided line? Did you use a monofilament backing?

[@THEREELTEST]

Are you using braid? If so I always use tape to secure the line on the spool no matter what im using

[@jnorman975]

I had issues with this too. Not sure if you're experiencing the same as me, but take your spool completely out and reinsert. Then turn your reel upside down (where the spool would fall out if you didn't hold it) and close the side plate. I took mine in to a repair shop and they couldn't figure it out either for a while
