Curado K and Curado DC are both great! I’ve used and own anywhere from an $80 Shimano to a $650 Shimano, I love them all! Thank you for sharing this video and I’ll definitely be watching more!
scared the heck outa me! i just bought the curado k today from cabelas and i wanted to watch some footage of it because i’m so excited and i saw this and freaked out! loved the video and now i’m super excited to use it!
The curado k is great...but there are two other curados that I like better, myself. First is the curado 70. I own metaniums, aldebarans, scorpions, the works...and the curado 70 remains the most comfortable reel I’ve ever thrown. The second is based on the curado 70 and it’s called the engetsu 100hg. It’s got the comfort of the curado 70 with micromodule gears, a clicky drag, a huge handle (I replaced my knobs with curado k knobs) and the absolute sickest paint job on any shimano, period. It’s the ultimate curado in my opinion. Mine will have to be pried from my cold, dead hands.
I bought a curado K a year ago and decided to do some maintenance on it. Simple gear cleaning and re greasing and oiling of the bearings. I recently bought an slx dc and it feels as though it feels smoother. I don’t know if something is messed up, but with the microgears i would expect my K to be smoother. It feels as though there is a slight vibration as I reel
My bearings in my Curado 200K started making noise after 3 months of use in freshwater only despite proper lubrication and maintanance. Was pretty disappointed. My Curado DC did not have this problem at all
Like you I’m a complete Shimano guy only brand reel you’ll find on my sticks .. That Metainium is NICE but there’s really no comparison between it and Curado K 200 , you can buy 4 Curado Ks for the price of one Metainium that probably won’t be great for Salmon fishing … I catch 30/40lb Salmon on my Curado Ks going on 3 yrs and still no problems .. I owned 5 Curado Ks till I lost one in the river this summer … sucked 😮 .. bout 600.00 someone’s gonna find one of these days , worst part the reel was only a few months old … no bs if I didn’t have bad luck I’d have no luck at all … The Chronarch MGL is another can’t beat it reel a little better than the Curado k but in a 150 size .. .. love it never backlashes even tossing no weight soft beads . Yup really can’t go wrong with any Shimano reel they’re the best of the best …
I've had my curado k for about 4 to 5 months now and I realized the drag somehow magically comes loose and I miss the hookset and I am wondering if it has happened to any of your curado reels? The same thing happened to my buddy who uses an slx dc and it has happened to him before so if you could give me your thoughts that would be great.
@@notlilithchan2316 I took braid off my reel and spooled it with 20-pound fluorocarbon but it still keeps on happening. Thankfully it's not a major issue.
i’ve had the same problem. what i found works is tightening the drag more that it needs to be. something else that happens is i’ll be fighting a fish and i’ll go to reel and the handle reels but the spool doesn’t move you can find this out but holding your thumb on the the spool with normal set drag and trying to reel. it cranks but the spool doesn’t reel
thank you for the review, Im trying to decide between the Shimano Curado K 200HG and the Lew's Tournament Pro Speed Spool LFS. I would appreciate if you can help me to choose
Marcos Becerra I cant speak for that particular Lew’s reel, but you likely won’t wrong with either. For me personally, the safe recommendation is the Curado because I think there is a very slim chance you will be disappointed. But honestly, with my experience with Lew’s altogether, again you’re not going to go wrong either way. I vote the Curado tho!
Great Video man, I also just got a curado k and I wanted to do a review on but I didn’t know since it was two years old but know u inspired me to do one coming soon.
I’ve had some Geary sounds coming from some of metaniums after a few months, but never a curado actually. But there are usually bad eggs along the way. I would give it a good cleaning and greasing 👍
Yea anything over 1/4 oz I would go K for sure! If you’re mostly going to be throwing very light stuff and really want to go for the lightest setup then I would probably prefer the 70. Thanks for watching!
@@calikayakangler7560 the holes are just so you can stick the line in there a bit, reel the spool and wrap the line around then you take it out of the hole and can then easily tie an arbor knot or something around the spool. The holes are not meant to have line tied through them
@@FishinwithTate I need some stuff but I don't get to fish much because I'm in college and that takes up 90% of my time. So I'm not really worried about buying stuff right now even though it's hard not to lol
If you want an all purpose setup- medium heavy with fast action. I love dobyns, and the Googan rods are honestly an awesome value and good overall rods
@@motohobo8826 nah, don’t get no dumb ass Googan rod. Get a shimano zodias, its $220 but WELL worth it. Super sensitive, lots of back bone, what more could you ask for? 7 ft 2 MH is a great all around. I’m fixin to get a 7 ft 5 as well cause I love them so much.
Should I buy the courado k, or the shimono slx DC? (I'm gonna go to bass pro shop while these are on sale) I don't have the money to afford a courado DC but I do for an slx DC, after feeling between the two, they both felt around the same in being smooth, but I also know that bass pro shop always keeps the spool tension caps super loose! What would you recommend?🤔
Chase McNeil i have limited experience with the SLX DC. It is very comparable with the Curado being a little smoother from what I can tell. If you are wanting to try out the dc I would pull the trigger on the slx for sure.
I don't think they ever made a terrible curado even the old bantams still work pretty good. The mgl spool is pretty sweet tho. The met is sexy as hell tho
Indrek Parmasto i would go tranx as u get closer to 2 oz, 1 1/2 u could get away with a K. If your using a bait with a lot of resistance like a big spinner or a swimbait tho, that’s gonna add even more pressure on the reel so I’m that cause I would probably go with tranx.

It’s hard to get away from Shimano bro! I’ve watched quite a few of your videos as well! Thanks for stopping by 👊
Fishin' with Tate Thanks man!
Heh, well at over $400 the Metanuim better be an improvement! lol.

I got my curado k upgraded to 12 bearings and the reel is a dream. So smooth and thight. I prefeer it over a bantam or metanium always now.
Nice!

That is very weird bro, I have several and haven’t had that issue. I would def contact shimano. Not sure if I could offer any other info of value
@@FishinwithTate I looked online and said nothing about that happening so I probably will contact Shimano but anyway, thanks for trying to help!
It may because of the line not holding the spool . Give it a try and respool it first
@@notlilithchan2316 I took braid off my reel and spooled it with 20-pound fluorocarbon but it still keeps on happening. Thankfully it's not a major issue.

Subbed! Great video! I’m a fairly new angler looking to get a few more combos and had my eye on these Curado K’s!
Kevin Yang thanks so much bro! They really are great, hence me having 6 lol
I just don't quite understand the relationship between the internal brakes and the brake wheel on the side. Not the spool tension but the 1-6 wheel
I just picked up a chronarch mgl and wow.. they are unbelievable, I'm not sure how they can improve that reel. Great video
Mike Daley awesome! Love chronarchs as well!
Thanks so much man! I bought the slx dc about a month ago and im pretty sure I want this to be my next reel!
Great Lakes Guy awesome! I have a bunch of em, and they’re great bro!
Only reason I got the Curado k is because I got it 50 dollars off
Awesome Video! Also, love my Lews and 13 reels
I also have had great luck w/ Lews but limited time with 13! Thanks for watching!
Great video buddy! Very informative!!
Thanks!!
thank you for the review, Im trying to decide between the Shimano Curado K 200HG and the Lew's Tournament Pro Speed Spool LFS.
I would appreciate if you can help me to choose

Curado for sure

Thanks for watching!
Fishin' with Tate of course man!
Current date would you buy one for $120 brand new?
Great reel & video I subbed
Awesome buddy! Appreciate you subscribing brotha
Are yours smooth. Mine is only 10 months old and sounds like it’s going to fall apart when I reel. How should I fix it?
I’ve had some Geary sounds coming from some of metaniums after a few months, but never a curado actually. But there are usually bad eggs along the way. I would give it a good cleaning and greasing 👍
$200 to $500 that's a big jump for a upgrade.
What are your thoughts between the K and the 70? If you're not throwing under 1/4oz would the K be the better option?
Yea anything over 1/4 oz I would go K for sure! If you’re mostly going to be throwing very light stuff and really want to go for the lightest setup then I would probably prefer the 70. Thanks for watching!
Okay so this is a dumb question but the reel has two holes on the spool witch one do you put your line through to tie a knot
Cole Gendreau I tie a not onto the spool, I don’t stick my line through them typically. I find it easier
Fishin' with Tate thank you that makes me a lot less confused and more likely to pick one up
@@calikayakangler7560 the holes are just so you can stick the line in there a bit, reel the spool and wrap the line around then you take it out of the hole and can then easily tie an arbor knot or something around the spool. The holes are not meant to have line tied through them
How are your micro module gears holding up?
Good so far 👌
I passed up one for 120$ once..... Because I'm an idiot..
I’d buy a couple more for that!
@@FishinwithTate Yeah, but like I said Im an Idiot 😂😂
Jacob Wynn that’s the second thing I asked if they had during the Saddlebrook Sale. I wanted a couple bantams but they were sold out!
@@FishinwithTate I need some stuff but I don't get to fish much because I'm in college and that takes up 90% of my time. So I'm not really worried about buying stuff right now even though it's hard not to lol
Jacob Wynn I was in college for 7 years, ate a lot of ramen, but still bought fishing stuff lol
What rod do you recommend putting a curado k on
If you want an all purpose setup- medium heavy with fast action. I love dobyns, and the Googan rods are honestly an awesome value and good overall rods
@@FishinwithTate thanks ill check into those

@@ethanvoelker2158 I ended up going with a level 7'2 MH rod and I love it

@@FishinwithTate okey! Thanks for the quick reply! I'll probably buy one!👍😉
Chase McNeil awesome! They’re pretty sweet 👍👍
The Mets gears are that aluminum there having problems with... You can always count on a curado.
Nickles Anarchy yea a lot of people don’t like that about the Mets, I try not to use mine for heavy applications! Curado are legit tho!
I don't think they ever made a terrible curado even the old bantams still work pretty good. The mgl spool is pretty sweet tho. The met is sexy as hell tho
Nickles Anarchy 100% agree bro!
shimano tranx 200 or curado k for 1-2oz lures ? thanks
Indrek Parmasto i would go tranx as u get closer to 2 oz, 1 1/2 u could get away with a K. If your using a bait with a lot of resistance like a big spinner or a swimbait tho, that’s gonna add even more pressure on the reel so I’m that cause I would probably go with tranx.
@@FishinwithTate thanks
love mine
Nice Metanium and the Antares is better
Nice
Fishin' with Tate of course I don’t own either one I have the Curado K and Curado dc
Stradic Fl and Ci4
A few Daiwa Tatula
Can yu adjust the brakes?
you shoot this on a green screen?
Jack Nye yea, It was new to me at the time and really wanted to use it lol
