Despite the loss... I still prefer the Scorpion DC :)
Awesome job!! I like the fact you used regular lures with hooks for casting distance tests.I wish you would do more of that.
For example for lighter lures use a unweighted texas rigged zoom trick worm with a size 1 or 1/0 hook.
Alot better sound on the scrops. Were you using a mono backing? Gives the braid something to dig into so it's not spinning itself on the spool whilist the spools in standby.
all braid, I use tape anyway no matter the line
I like Curado more for the color scheme
I own both those reels and absolutely love them!
I had a feeling mine wasn’t casting as far as my 17 scorpion. I just swapped the 21 onto the same rod throwing the same lure and it definitely felt like it wasn’t going nearly as far. The 17 was bombing almost all the line off the spool. I was honestly afraid I’d hook up on the end of a long cast and get spooled. The retrieve on the 21 is smooth as butter and the xg was really burning the bait in though. I’m glad to have both
i enjoy all your content & they have certainly given me major info on bait casters. from this video on the dc reels ,what i get from it is the scorpion 2017 is still the best especially if one can afford it & if you cant the other is the curado. i personally will stick with 2017 dc & if i do buy another one it would be the curado dc. keep up the good work. tight lines bro.
Yes!!!! Curado DC vs Tatula Elite with braid please!!!
Well I got 300 likes so I guess I will be doing that
Do you think if you used a 7’2” to 7’10” mod-heavy rod with a fast tip, your results would be better for both reels?
Maybe I am wrong, excuse me if I am, but shorter rods (under 7’) are going to give you a shorter cast.
Have you thought about using a longer rod? I wonder if your results would be different with both reels.
Thanks for the great videos!
I prefer the scorpion DC's better contoured and ergonomic feel with the adjustment dial at the bottom. Feels smaller and more comfortable to palm. I had issues with the curado DC where a loop of line will get caught in behind the side of the thumb bar, during a cast and it's near impossible to get it out without cutting it. It's a show stopper when it happens, because it's typically near the end of the cast, and you lose too much line. I returned it, they adjusted it but it happened again. I finally took the reel completely apart to remove the thumb bar, and carefully bent it out with a little heat, to improve the tolerance and it hasn't happed since, (fingers crossed).
What is your experience with digitaka? I’ve been considering getting a metanium dc from them, but one thing holding back is the warranty issues.
Could you also try comparing the Scorpion DC with calcutta conquest DC, with same rod, line, sinker and DC system, will them cast the same distance? Will be interesting to see.
NICE BATTLE YEAH..
After i got my exsence back, i tried casting a 1/2oz lipless crankbait and realized it IS definitely overbraked. I never had any issues with birdsnest (except the once when i hit a tree on the backcast) But i did end up catching my PB...so there's that....
Is it the 2017 Antares DC that’s geared towards bigger baits? I have been hesitant to purchase a DC reel, I’m not sure why. I just got the Scorpion MD 300LHXG, I wish it was a DC like the smaller one.
I'm curious why you think we got this result. Given all of the on-paper advantages for the scorpion, what factors explain the Curado's win?
Hi THE REEL TEST, in almost the same price range with Excence DC SS. Which one should be the best option?
Hey can you please make a video of a cast battle between the Scorpion Dc 2021 VS Zillion Sv Tw 2021 VS Metanium 2020. I'm curious to know which reel would cast the farthest for below 7 grams lure and 15 grams lure and above
Love your music
Is it because of id4 vs idc5? Maybe the idc5 brakes more to prevent backlash also preventing distance?
Nice sharing..👍
I have the Curado DC, SLX DC, and the Scorpion DC and what I interested is casting in the wind. I heard by several you tubers saying the IDC 4 braking does not perform well in downwind casts and the Scorpion with the IDC 5 braking it doesn’t matter headwind or downwind it is managed by the Scorpion. What have you found about this issue? ❤🎉 💯
I have the same experience with my curado DC vs 2018 scorpion DC. Curado just out casts it no problem.
I own a couple of Curado DC’s a 2017 Scorpion DC and 2021 Scorpion DC. All excellent.
Coastal vs DC?
What about the scorpion do you prefer over the curado? I have a slx dc and looking to buy a new dc reel and I just CANNOT DECIDE between the new scorpion or curado dc. So hard!!
Get the curado. I don't own a scorpion, but the curado is my favorite reel. You really can't go wrong.
Do a Curado DC vs Metanium DC!
I don’t get it, you did another review in the past and the scorpion won. Do all the 2021 scorpion dc’s have the mgl spool? That would be a big reason why virago won. Up in the air on which one to buy. What are your thoughts on what to buy?
shoot now i kinda want that black 2017 scorpion over the newer one lol.
Gotta say, I’m still not going to shelf the curado for some time. My opinion it’s just that good, I own a new scorpion dc, it’s great, but still a fan of the curado. The 4 adjustments is plenty “tuning” for me and is proven, oh and less options I have to remember 😃
Do u prefer the scorpion dc over the curado dc?
@@grayproductionz1077 honestly it will come down to money, there isn’t enough difference to justify extra cost. Now some folks prefer certain styling, color or what ever, it’s not a car or bike show nor does styling catch you fish. Both are holding up incredibly well, each have different set ups and dialed in perfect for each application.
in my suggestion you should cast it on water with line measurement cause braid can cast further if they get wet
PE 4 is braide that usually using for big barra, black bass or mangrove jack fishing. Maybe PE 1 or 1.5 is suitable for both of them. It will increase the distance and sensitivity.
Spot on!
PE 4 is braid but I’m a bit confused. What does PE mean?
@@GROOMtiME PE is stands for polyethylene, the raw material of this fishing line.
I was set on buying the new scorpion dc but now that I watched this video…. Maybe the curado would be better for me as I only use braid.
Qual é a melhor?
As much as you cast, what are your opinions on braid on a baitcaster? I fish a lot, but only keep it on one casting reel, braid is on every spinning setup, just not such a fan on a casting reel...
I tried using braid years ago but where I fish its so snaggy it wasnt worth the hassle of cutting off yards of braid on every snag, I feel flouro has better slack line sensitivity anyways
@@andersriksson100 there is a local tournament fisherman (wins a lot) who uses straight 40lb or 30lb braid. No leaders, ever. Uses 65lb for big stuff but mainly just 30lb and 40lb straight up. All on old Loomis rods with Johnny Morris Bass Pro reels...
In your opinion, the Hercules braid is really a good PE?
I rarely use braid but I can tell you it casts nice and quiet, comes through the guides with minimal sound on the retrieve and the color seems to stay on pretty good
I’m going scorpion just because it’s more slick than the curado by the dc tile on the bottom of the side plate then the top
This is just 1 battle. Overall I feel the Scorpion is still the better caster.
It's got everything to do with the tune according to a Shimano rep. The curado DC is no slouch
Which year is the curado dc?
Throw in the Bantam while you're at it. The Bantam and DC are so similar on paper. I've been trying to justify buying a Bantam but I'm very happy with the Curado DC.
The bantam mgl is definitely above the curado dc. Both in quality and casting.
@@jeisonhansson how does the Bantam handle heavier line like 20lb fluorocarbon? Again, I'm super interested in bringing myself to buying one.
I have a question and I need to understand what I'm doing wrong. I just bought a Shimano Curado DC 150 hg. The problem I'm having is the capacity of braid line on the Curado DC spool. I'm using Kastking - Braided Line -- 30 lb. 327 yds. The reel specs calls for 30/150 or 450 LF of Power Pro. With the braid I'm using, the spool fills up with about 27 yds or 81 ft or less. ft. Is there a difference between the Power Pro Braid vs. the Kastking Braid.
Which Curado DC model did you the test?
what do you mean? There has only been 1 Curado DC ever
What website do you use to purchase the jdm scorpion
watch my HOW TO BUY JDM tackle video I released a few weeks ago
Can I know what website you bought the scorpion dc 2021 from?
check out my HOW TO BUY JDM TACKLE version 2.0
I'm sure you get this question often.... But, it you had one reel to use all purpose, what would it be? Utility reel.....
Metanium MGL
Remake the curado dc vs the 17 scorpion dc but with braided lines
@THE REEL TEST Between the Scorpion MGL, and 2021 Scorpion DC, which reel would you choose to cast a Megabass vision 110 jerkbait with casting distance being a priority?
tough one there. If there is even moderate wind, the DC will be more consistent for sure, and more forgiving if the 110 comes off the rod wrong and tumbles
Ok but was the scorpion put on the “p” setting for braid? The huge difference in cast distance would make sense then...
The Scorpion was set to what ever setting gave it the longest casts
What happened to the daiwa and the curado dc shoot out who win
I’m thinking I’m going to go with the curado dc even with the idc4 I think I like it more.
If you could only have one reel for casting squarebills to medium diving cranks up to say dt 14 or so what would it be? I'm fishing from a kayak frequently in double digit wind for some additional info. Can be any reel not just the ones in the video. Thanks for your videos.
In that setting I’d still say one of these reels definitely. Regardless of this videos results, my vote would be the Curado DC. To me it’s like the Dobyns Champion XP of reels. Leaps and bounds better than the $100-150 range reels but half the price of the highest shelf
Nice test can u do drag power test between these two reel. Let see which reel has max drag capacity
Where I live in Australia they curado dc costs around $350 Australian which is around $260 US . I got the scorpion dc from Japanlureshop for $319 Australian which is around $219 US. Even though it was cheaper the scorpion dc is better than the curado in just about every stat like the MGL spook and the idc5 brakes.
Scopion dc is jdm reel and curado dc made in malaysia but both are good reel.
Japan lure shop is the best. Their customer service is excellent. I recently bought a Steez A from them and they accidentally sent me the wrong retrieve. I didn’t have to pay anything for the exchange and I got a Popmax in the initial shipment and a vision 110 in the replacement and I got to keep both! That’s $50 USD in lures!
@@eziely the scorpion is actually made in malayasia aswell but is a jdm reel
@@hunterbull7804 yep they have great customer service and I got a free gift which is great
Dang it’s $244 USD for me
bearings have to be broken in an older reel thats been broken in will defnitely outperform fresh out of the box bearings
I'm surprised the Scorpion lost, braid and frogs are usually the best casting setups. Did you try to tighten the spool tension with mode braid and set to 1?
Also, I'd like to have the Elite's tension knob adjusted. Sure, it's zero adjuster made towards beginners. I'm sure most of your viewers are tackle junkies who just want to see how each brand stack up to each other. Owning both Shimano and Daiwa brands, I don't see much of difference out on the water. Daiwa's MagForce is better IMO than SVS for on the fly adjustment for control. DC braking is probably the best and most advance, but reels need to be a certain size. So I'm not sure if they ll ever have a Metanium B size DC reel.
@@bxcloud104 my tatula elite came factory adjusted with so much slop in the side to side play in the spool that you really couldn't get anymore distance out of it by playing with the zero adjuster. My tatula elite bombs but it still gets consistently beat by my curado dc. Shimanos dc breaking is just so good and perfected over the years that I dont see any other brand competing with them.
@@caseydangar1193 Ive underrated the Curado DC for sure lol... all it needed was braid!
@@THEREELTEST lol. I love your channel and i love the fact that you post the Bible verse on every opening of your videos. I hope and pray nothing but success for you and your channel.
What best bait casting u think?
Depends on budget and what kind of presentation you are looking for.
A frog reel won't be the same as a crankbait or jigging or finesse reel.
@@Tallnerdyguy didn’t know there’s a frog reel out there lol
Where can I buy a scorpion DC XG reel
65 lb braid for bass is crazy
Hi pal I have westin w6 finesse T T&C 7"6' 5-15g rod What reel you recommend me tu put on this rod? thanks
I mean, thats just to vague a question
I'm in UK not in US
@@andersriksson100 thanks mate
I have Curado dc on that rod, it's great
Are this saltwater approved?
Who do you prefer to buy JDM gear from as far as the best shipping times? I’m looking at the scorpion DC, and digitaka and Japan lure shop look to be within 10 bucks of each other. And would you be willing to do the Curado DC vs Scorpion DC with 15lb fluoro? Especially if someone were to send you let’s say a gift card to buy the line?
you can add 15-20 for shipping from japanlureshop to the listed price but they generally ship your reel the same day if they get the order early enough or the next day.
I'll save you the test, the Curado out performs any baitcaster in its price range, and a more than a few doubling it's price range..
I just sold all my reels,
I now have 2 dc150xgs, and 2 200 dcxgs.
With the Currado and de Slv Dc we have 4 ajustement (1-2-3-4)
With the Scorpions DC we have 5 (1-2-3-4-W )
What is W and when we us
i think its mean W (windy) situation
I have both and the results I get is the opposite, I love the Scorpion, I like the Curado too but if I had to only choose 1 I would def take the Scorpion
please make curado use mgl spool
there is a rumor of a Curado 150 non DC coming out, it may have the MGL spool
@@THEREELTEST It's been out 4 years, so it's about time for a new model.
@@THEREELTEST okay thankyou will be waiting for the reel to come out and more video from you. keep it up the good work. your video really helps me alot
I want to know on the scorpion DC reel
if I set the adjustment to W or A and I don't put my thumb on the spool it is impossible to have a blacslash
Thank You
No.
Forget all that give us your bfs curado vid
going up tommorrow
Maybe some of you need to cast that far? You don't need to cast that far when you are in a boat.
same body???🤔
Curado DC is built like a tank tho ... I’m sure the scorpion will win this head to head comp but I’ll still take the Curado
They have the same frame
What is IDC-5?
@@pheakdeysour9581 anglers can toggle between 5 brake levels and 3 different modes to set the appropriate brake force
The rest is .... ?
Thump bar type or less line prefer !
Or look like.....
I really didn’t understand the obsession with the Scorpions in the US, so I used a few of them and own one. Everyone always says Scorpion > Curado, and while they’re hands down an awesome reel, I don’t think they’re that much better. I know there are differences, but at the end of the day IMO it’s just a red/black (DC) Curado. To me the true difference you see in the Shimano line is the made in Malaysia vs made in Japan reels. The Scorpions are JDM, but still made in Malaysia.
Scorpion dc has idc-5 sand curado dc has idc-4 I believe. That’s one of the main differences.
@@proxcuber4741 in this test it didn’t seem like it made much of a difference, but I do agree the Scorpions usually get the nicer stuff and yes I think you’re correct. I just don’t see that justifying the “Scorpion > Curado any and every time” viewpoint by so many in the states specifically. To each their own though. 👍
watch my Scorpion MGL video for the differences between it and the Curado K
It bothers me that you use the cheap thick braid for casting test on these nice reels. I would suggest you use like suffix 832, Spiderwire steath, power pro superslickv2, momoi gen 3 solid, or like some maxcuatro if your goal is casting distance. I know it is more expensive but these are not cheap reels you are testing and most people will buy the good braid. Maybe a video of your 40lb herculese vs 40 pound Maxcuatro see how many feet you are losing off your cast maybe i am wrong but i feel you are leaving distance on the table. It's like putting cheap tires on a race car. ( I have some herculese braid and use it on shark rod where casting is not important, it is very good priced and has its place.)
If it bothers you that much then put your money where your mouth is and buy me 10,000 yards of Powerpro Superslick V2
You think that braid"quality" has a large impact in distance? The main difference is strength and smoothness, not castability.
If he really wants to test he should use fins....I don’t mess with any other braids now that I have tried the windtamer
@@Tallnerdyguy Just pretending to be stupid?
Im not a fan of the curado I love the scorpions. Let it be known from every balcony and bell tower
I haven’t been impressed with Shimano lately, I like my old scorpion dc better, the slx bfs and curado bfs we’re just alright.
I mean the Curado and SLX BFS are their cheapest BFS reels, were you expecting them to outperform the Aldebaran and Conquest?
You are comparing a $270 reel to $120-170 reels?
Not outperform them but I personally had higher expectations. Let me send you my exsence dc ss so you can do your full comparison
@@Tallnerdyguy tf are you talking about? lol
I'll keep my scorpion DC 17
Get both, they do different things... but both are great. Make me question my metanium dc everytime I use it
I use my scorpion DC 17 for every app. It works if you apply it.
I’ll keep my scorpion dc 11
Get rid of that hunk a junk
@@rancewarschak6304 I could afford any real, but in my opinion the scorpion dc 17 is all I need for an all around need. I even caught mackerels, all type of basses to legal size halibuts if not bigger off the pier and rocks with drop shot and swimbaits. If you’re going for a monster I’ll just switch to the Tranx.
too much braid on the Scorpion spool
Old school curado dc I'm going to get one
There has only been 1 Curado DC
in my opinion, scorpion dc 2021 with MGL spool isnt for long casting but it more to cast light lures (between 6grams - 10grams). MGL spool / SV for daiwa is a step below to bfs category.
It can be use for long casting especially the mgl spool because all what it does is decrease weight. The metanium 2020 B mgl spool long cast like a dream. SV on other hand is like u said. They focus on excessive braking to prevent back lash which is good for light lures.
Rugi la mahal2 tapi tak boleh cast jauh even dah masuk mgl spool.
@@penangboyz96 tula..mgl spool bkn utk long cast..mat salleh ni mana tau apa2..dorg pikir makin mahal reel makin blh cast jauh...mgl spool utk gewang ringan je..
@@zajdabneeg high end reel like metanium is built different. if they have the same mgl spool why scorpion unable to cast farther. reduce weight of the spool only benefit in terms of ease of cast and it is not for distance.
