    Own them all now, I find myself using the dc more than most. Gets windy on the lake and some future cussing from a bird’s nest get me to grab the extra insurance. Honestly they are all well made, MGL is just impressive, go with your budget, you won’t be disappointed

    Absolutely the best reels made at this price point … Buttery Smooth like the highest end Shimano’s .. I use them for all kinds of fish from Bass to big Stripers to big River Salmon … rarely backlash the basic Curado Ks … I own 4 of them .. also run an SLX Dc once it a while that’s not to bad … like to upgrade the bearings but being a digital it’s not looking like it can be done .. hate the whine it makes when casted but it’s pretty cool … don’t backlash much anyways with any reels cus I’m good 😅😊… Just kidding cus don’t care how good you are … it happens to the best ..

    i own a couple of the original K, and the 150. Love the 150 more cause of less weight both just solid quality and great casters. Still even have a couple work horse I's also. Though the Alde mgl and Met 2020 still have me spoiled.

    Great video.. I didn't realize there were still that many curados still out at once...
    I have up on curados when they stole the 50E and went to the G but did try the k and dc last year.. great reels but just feel heavier and bigger than they are... I've yet to put my hands on the 70 size.. really thinking about getting the bfs or even the scorpion bfs just so I can see if it's for me.. the Aldebaran is hard to beat but sometimes a little heavier beefier reel just fits better

    Great video! I own 2 DCs and recently needed a 3rd. Bass pro didn’t have them in stock and the guy at the counter showed me the new MGL. I’ve been casting them both every day for about a month. I’ve casted 1/8th oz jigs to medium sized swim baits. Here is what I would pick after the time spent. The Curado DC. As a matter of fact I would choose it over anything short of anything anyone offers under 350 bucks. If I had unlimited funds it would be the Antares DC. I have bought and sold all kinds of Diawa, Lews, etc. the DC technology is superior to anything I’ve casted. The Curado MGL comes in second.

      Hi Rob, just wonder if curado dc is good for casting 1/8 oz lures or minnows. I heard many fishing guys said curado dc is for big lures. I am planning to do some finesse bass fishing. My lures is around 1/8 oz to 1/2 oz. Is curado dc comfortable to use when casting light lures?

    I’ve got the Curado 70 mgl and never adjust the internal brakes, in part because I am relatively new to baitcasters and am a bit afraid to make dialing in the reel more complicated than it needs to be. I’m not back lashing very often so it seems to be working fine. And my casting distance is pretty good-with heavier lures; as you noted, I’m getting close to the backing. But I just started pitching and am definitely a beginner with that technique. I’m definitely backlashing a bit more with this technique, but I suspect it’s because my leader is too long and the knot may be screwing things up. Sooo…what are the benefits of playing with the internal brakes on this particular reel? Thanks!!!

    • @titaniumcrayon3090
      @titaniumcrayon3090 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      When your pitching or skipping avoiding backlashes comes down to skill, other than that you can just crank the internal breaks but mastering thumbing the spool is the name of the game! Just keep practicing. A leader knot should not go into your spool. That’s what I believe at least to avoid it hitting the guide coming out of the reel.

      Try the DC first. After casting both every day for 30 days for me the DC outcasts the MGL with any weight. It’s about a 10-15’ difference. It’s still a great reel, the DC Curado still is the winner any day. Worth the 60 extra bucks for sure.

  • @dangkhang9479
    @dangkhang9479 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Since the Curado dc and Mgl are both 150 size cant you just put the mgl spool inside the dc and call it a day. That would make the Curado DC a better caster than the metanium mgl.
