In your opinion , what’s a better reel? Shimano Antares dc or Daiwa ‘24 steez sv tw?
@RXAngler5 ай бұрын
2 different types of reels. Antares if you want a bigger DC reel. Daiwa if you want a versatile reel.

How significant the different of quality between Metanium DC and SLX DC XT?
@FAA-DPE5 ай бұрын
I own both. and the new SLX DC XT is superior in my educated opinion and my main go-to reel. I was under impressed with my JDM reels, especially for what they cost. Also, McDonald's chicken nuggets come in better packaging. For the money, the Curado DC 200 is a steal also. Got one for $160

My Metanium is arriving today! Now a really stupid question. I want to fish 12lb fluro on it. Should I first spool a backing for the fluro? How much backing do you think if any? Will 12lb fluro be good for my pond fishing?
@stonehorn46416 ай бұрын
What kind of line you use depends on what type of fishing you are doing with it. Crankbaits/jerkbaits you want mono. Top water or flipping in grass, you want heavy braid. Fluoro for stuff like Swimbaits, chatterbaits, etc.

@@Lqviolin2 mind me asking what you’re fishing? If it’s bass, you’re fine with 12lb fluoro. If you’re after toothier game, like Pike and Muskie, it’s less effective.

how's it compare to 2023 metanium 100? I remember you gave really good score on that too. I have never used DC reel but I don't think I need anyway ? But I'm curious in terms of handling and casting distance, which one is better. I'm considering between those two now..

Glad you enjoyed it, but I hate DC reels. HATE! I have a Curado DC, and I can’t imagine what anyone likes about them? They sound awful, don’t cast as far, skip like shit. I just don’t get it. I don’t even keep my Curado DC on my boat anymore. It’s just in its box on my shelf. I’ll stick with my regular Metaniums.
@tabbyhankins65116 ай бұрын
Honestly, in my opinion, the Curado dc is probably the worst DC reel of the bunch, at least from my experience. While most of my reels are metaniums and bantams (metaniums are the real deal), I’ve owned several DC models. The scorpion DC was without a doubt a better reel than the curado and I have a slx xt DC now that is substantially better performing than both. I just got one of these Metanium DC 70s and can honestly say it’s impressive. Casting is top notch and skips effortlessly.
