I have the slx dc and my dad has the currado dc. They are both amazing reels and we have never got a backlash using them. We both have said that the slx is better only because it’s cheaper, there is not much difference between the two, but still the 2 best baitcasters either of us have had. We will never buy any other reel apart from shimano. Hope this helps
Good info! I have been researching and trying to decide on the next purchase. Thanks!
Well said. My sentiment exactly! I've got all the mgl's which are beyond awesome. I too bought the Curado DC 1st then the SLX DC. I love the Curado but the SLX is such a close second I've bought 3 more and put the extra 40 bucks toward good braid to spool them with. Im curious about the metanium DC but my lakes froze yesterday so I probably won't have an opinion till April. Love the videos. Congrats on the recent growth. I'll certainly be tuning in.
This is the review I’ve been looking for. Thanks dude
the most honest review out here. i own curado and slx. they both are great in different ways.
I’m just getting back into fishing and bought both. I’m looking forward to seeing the difference over the weekend. I’ve been watching fishing vids for over a month and i just ran into yours, and I must say, I’m really enjoying your content.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
thanks for the great video. getting 2 of the SLX DC for my son and i
I set all my reels, including the Curado DC to where the bait falls to the ground in about 1 second while holding the rod at a 45 degree angle. I use my thumb on my DC just so when I swap back and forth between traditional and DC just like you were saying. Traded baby sitting for 2 days, and paying for a massage day for my wife and mother in law to get an all day fishing trip Friday, even if I don't get anything.. worth it.
Totally worth it. Thanks for watching and commenting dude!
Dude when I first got the slx dc your older video helped me out big time that's when I subscribed. So glad you made another video about these reels. May have to get a carado now ! Thanks brotha
Curado spelling issues haha
Glad to hear it. No problem. Thank you for watching.
This video is about to determine the purchase I make at the end of it.... lol thanks for the advice and tips ahead of it!
Good info thanks man!
thanks for your honesty brother..I got to have one!!
Very helpful video, thanks Justin 🎣👍
Nicely done, thank you 😎
I got my first baitcaster this year, a slx dc. I love it! I was having a bit of trouble with my braid digging into itself, maybe I didn’t spool it on right not sure but I changed from 20# to 50# just recently after reading online for troubleshooting that problem and I haven’t had a problem yet! Love moving forward from spinning to baitcasters and plan on getting that Shimano tranx I think it was that you showed for swimbaits.
Awesome! I personally don't throw anything under 50lb braid. Thanks for watching and commenting dude.
Low weight braid will dig into itself really bad due to how thin it is. I started with 20lb flouro to learn baitcasting, now I run 12lb flouro, 15lb flouro tactical and 50lb braid on my setups.
GREAT REVIEW!! I am Shimano guy myself.. I own the Tranx 200 and SLX DC buying my Curado DC tomorrow. can't wait to hit the water.. thanks again
Great review, Mr. Royal!
i have a curado dc and slx dc and i set mine as the book said and gain a lot of casting distance over how i set a traditional reel run setting 2 on braid and mono setting 3 for flouracarbon
I know I asked you about the. after this video dropped. And just realized you made this previously, so thanks for answering anyways. Going to start with the slx and eventually drop one on each set up.
Hey man! Thanks for the video, I’m considering buy a Curado DC and now in 100% sure that I’m getting it!!🎣
Just got my curado dc in the mail today. Hoping to get out this weekend to try it out. It should make a nice compliment to my two slx dc reels and my tranx.
Thanks for the video. I'm a Shimano reel guy too. I have the SLX, SLX DC, the Stradic FL spinning reel, and the Torium 30 saltwater reel. Love them all. I've heard there is going to be a new Scorpion DC reel for 2021. I plan on getting that one for sure. Onto to the next JR video. 🤘
Niccce!
I have both and I love both! I love my Curado DC for cranking shallow square bills and the SLX DC for Spinnerbait, and jig skipping. Either way it’s a shimano so you can’t go wrong! 💪🏻
Shimano all day! Thanks for watching man!
I'm currently saving up for an SLX DC myself, can't wait to get my hands on one!
Nice! You'll enjoy it.
This was Great! Thanks!
Very helpful. I have the SLX and think I will try the CuradoDC.
Great info Justin.
I got both of them about a month ago and love them both but the curado is just a little smoother
Im own the curado dc same with scorpion dc own 2 of em. Antares dc md. And recently im just got a Calcutta dc too. Love em dc reel and the sound love em all. Always in a fishing mood.
Niccce
Haven’t tried the SLX but my Curado DC is sick! I was always a firm believer that the higher price tags were just a marketing tactic when I was younger but boy was I wrong. That Curado DC is BUTTER! 👍🤜
I agree! Thanks for watching B-Rad!
If you think that Curado is butter you should try a Scorpion DC or a Metanium DC. They have the IDC5 Braking systems.
Great review! Which DC unit do you think was louder?
I just got the shimano SLX Dc and I love it I’m coming for the curado DC next💪🏾
I just ordered my SLX DC! I can’t wait!!!!
Killer video! I just picked up the Curado 150XG DC, as an upgrade from the Shimano Citica 200D. It is a world of difference! Subscribed!!
this is exactly the same move i'm contemplating... after this video and reading this post i've made up my mind. can't wait to get the Curado 150XG DC. Is there anything smaller than that you can use with an ultralight rod?.
Thumbing is always a great practice!! I always do it as well! Backlashes are always a possibility and if you can mitigate them, you always win! Nice video again Justin!🎣🎣🎣
Thank you dude! 👊🏼
awesome video, super informative
Great video 👍 I’ve been thinking about getting a dc reel. Thanks for the info. 👊
Do it! Thank you for watching.
I have a BEAT Curado and I want a Curado DC as my original Curado caught me plenty of fish and deserves a good retirement in a case to show off lol
That slx dc is amazing nice and compact lightweight and casts super smooth and far. I have ol J Royal to thank for making this purchase and I love it. Love watching your vids brother keep the awesome work up you crack me up
Thank you brother!
A great amount of info man! Shimano just makes some high quality fishing gear in general. One day gunna have to get my hands of some of these reels🤙🏻🔥
You'll enjoy them I think. Thanks for watching and commenting as always dude.
I have both and I think the Curado DC was the smoother of the two. Micromodular gears in the Curado may help this. I think the fit and finish are also nicer on the Curado. Great Video Brother!
Definitely agree. Thank you for watching and commenting brotha!
Outstanding presentation.
just sub'd your channel. i had to smile at your thumbing comment about developing bad habits, i am the same. i picked up a curado dc last week, and paired it with a 7' curado rod. holy moly i like this rig! just got back from fishing some small drainage ponds, and did pretty well today. looking forward to seeing more content and looking through your earlier videos.
Thank you so much for riding with me man!
Really love my Metanium dc! Looking to get a Scorpion as well.
I have the Curado k and I absolutely love it!
Love mine as well.
Have two SLX DC and they perform so well for me! Would love to get my hands on a curado DC
If you like the SLX you will love the Curado . Thanks for watching dude!
I bought one of the SLX DC's after seeing you use them. I love it but I agree with you on the Curado ! Both super reels but Curado does seem to cast a little smoother and longer. But both are great reels for both price points ! Plan to get more as I upgrade my rods to the Lux and Unicorn !! Thanks for the great video !! Keep it coming !!!💯👊💪🔥
Thanks dude! I appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch and comment.
I love my SLX DC and can't wait to try the corrado DC I just got
You’re gonna love it.
The SLX DC has been flawless for me since it's release. I could only see myself buying an alderbaran since my favorite fishing technique is finesse since the early 90s.
Love my Aldaran, but my Calcutta Conquest BFS, is the best.
I have a curado dc. I freaking love the eeeeeeeeee whine when casting. It’s by far the best reel I own. But I’m fixing to buy another. I’m thinking about the slx, another curado, or the metanium dc. Thank you for the video sir.
Thanks for your input man definitely gonna give the slx and go . I’m using my pro ti from lews for now but slx looks clean in my opinion.
Yessir. Thank you for watching.
I own 12 SLX DCs and 1 Curado DC. All have been used very hard over the last year and a half. I have yet to do any maintenance on any of them and I use the same manufacturer of line ranging from 16 to 20lb test and the SLX DCs feel smoother to this day than the Curado DC, guess that's why I won 12 of them.
Hit like before the 3 minute mark 👍🏻 this is EXACTLY the info I was looking for thanks brotha!
hey man great videos ...how many brakes do you have on underneath the side cover
I own both. In hand they feel very comparable. On the water I can easily get 10 plus yards more casting distance from the curado dc plus it's a little smoother. My next DC will be a scorpion I want to test the difference between the dc4 and dc5 braking.
Totally agree
Thanks for the info man. Looking to treat myself to a DC reel in the spring. I have an Abu revo s,Lew’s tournament pro, base slx, Abu revo premiere and the new model Daiwa tatula ct. Don’t really NEEEEED a DC reel but damn do I want one 😂😂 Still don’t know what one to get. Leaning toward the curado since I have the base model slx 🤔
Exactly.....couldn't have said it any better
I enjoyed your comments and your honesty, you use common sence!
I thought I was the only one who wasn't listening to the manual about the tension knob. And yeah I have a curado dc and was actually looking to get a slx dc for frogging. Since I need the extra distance but cheaper than curado dc. Ty man
Thank you for watching. You are not alone.
I bought the slx dc for frogging yesterday and have been using a curado dc for the past year love them both
I’ve got both. They both work perfect for me. Never backlashed with either. They honestly work just about the same.
Yuuuuuusssss! Once again. Always on the same page dude. I was one of those dudes!
🙏🏼👊🏼🙌🏼
Heck yea bro another awesome video as always!!! Love my SLX DC, you and Milliken sold me on them lol Definitely not disappointed!!! Also turned me into a Shimano guy 🤣 let’s goooo!!! Heaters only!
Heaters only! Nice dude. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you for this video. One day I'll get on the DC gang 😎
No problem dude! Thanks for watching.
Thanks brother thats why i. Like to watch your video's. I like the way you brake things down for your subscribers we just recently had are house burn 🔥 down to the ground and all we got left with is what we had on we lost are 3 beloved dog's in the fire and all my fishing gear. From rod combos to all my fishing lures my dad left to befor he passed so ya being able to get eather reels would be a blessing i have a birthday comeing up in August hopefully i could make a lil extra cash if i do thanks to you i know witch one i want that slx dc just looks bad ass thanks agin
best reel out there curado dc, love them.
Right on! 🙏🏼👊🏼
I agree with your assessment 100%.
Sweet! Thanks dude!
I find the dc cast into the wind well, the slx dc is a great reel but can’t handle the wind as well.
I have both and love them both. I have found that the Curado DC handles the heavier weight lures better.
Excellent feedback. Thanks dude.
I had to stop ur vid short.
Why? Because I wanted to Thank you for a real review!!!
This is the 1st real no b.s. vid.
I ve been trying to decide. And believe me it's not easy for me to put this kind of $ into a real. I'm 55 and I've always bought from a yard sale,flea market. Or friend and family give me something. Witch all but maybe 2 went bad, prob because of me LOL
But all in all I just wanted to give a heart felt Thank You!!!
GOD Bless😇
Thank you! God bless!
Haven't been here in awhile,glad I decided to stop. Thanks for the info,it helps with making a choice.
Thanks for rolling through.
i have both slx and curado dc reels i tend to lean to the slx more because it is on my all purpose rod but i love both reels and i will buy both models again and yes i still thumb them also
Nice! Thanks for the feedback Kev.
My wife got me a early birthday gift SLX DC my first baitcast im like it really good I decided to check one after watching the videos you made on them and my wife was watching me with it and got it for me keep the good work homes
That is awesome! Thank you for watching man! Shoutouts to wifey and happy late birthday, Nathaniel!
Thanks man
I've got the scorpion DC and love it.
I hear good things.
Love the DC reels!! You hit it spot on bro couldn’t agree more. If you ever want to step it up just a bit more from Curado DC’s, Check out the Scorpion DC I absolute love the scorpion line up. Even make a MGL model. Great video is always brotha!! 🤘🏼🙏🏼
I hear good things. Thank you Dillon!
I have a scorpion dc and love it. Will probably get a slx for another setup
Nice! I hear good things about the Scorpion.
Great video, hell with it I'm getting one of each..... let's hit the water.
I just bit the bullet and bought the Metanium DC XG today. I am going to hit the water tomorrow afternoon hopefully the bass will be hungry.
Nice!
Ah man I want it, price is on the high end.
Please let me know your thoughts after use. I'd appreciate it Scott.
@@Jrizy. the Metanium DC and Scorpion DC have the iDC5 technology while the Curado DC and SLX DC have the older iDC4. If money is not an issue, I would highly recommend the Metanium DC.
@@fongxiong1 oh ok, thank you for that information! Definitely going to grab a Metanium. Thanks again
I want to try the Scorpion DC
just bought the curado dc i have the k can't wait to try it
I love my slx too. How light a crank bait would ya be able to throw on braid/ mono set up? A little sx40 by chance ? If yes how long and soft a rod would ya need ?
Great video man. I have both of the reels and I like both. Slx dc is great because of the price but the curado dc is a lot smoother I Believe. I have 2 slx dc and 1 curado dc. I’m going to buy more of the curado dc when I get some more extra funds lol
Excellent assessment. Thanks for watching and commenting dude! 👊🏼
Did same thing. Bought the curado dc then slx dc. Loved the curado dc and figured I try the slx dc. But I bought another SLX DC because i liked it as much as curado but 50 bucks cheaper. And on point if about thumbing the reel. Thumbing is controlling distance. Also it comes natural if you throw casting reels often. If you want to chuck a bait as far as you can and don’t want to use a thumb go to a spinner reel. On point about the drag on SLX high gear one I just baught I left in my hot ass car and drag got messed up but I worked it out and seems good so far. My curado did not do that. I’m with you bro. Both dope reels. But my Lews Mach crush for heavy rod is where it’s at. Shimano for crankbait rod. Shimano for medium fast rod. Shimano for medium heavy rod. Lews on heavy and the lews on my big swimbait.
Thanks for taking the time to comment brotha. Excellent feedback. I appreciate ya.
Justin Royal saw you rocking that cat walk from six sense. Looked dope so I got one myself. That thing walks killer. Haven’t used it much but the action is dope. Thanks for showing us that.
Hey Justin just curious how often you do maintenance on your dc reels
I havent noticed the drag i will have to check but i have noticed my tension Knob on my slx dc and the slx xt actually is to the point when i noticed a little more it will fall off but ya outside that i dont have the curado dc but i have the whole slx line up and love everyone one of them and in my opinion i kinda like the xt the best awesome casting and everything
Thanks for the feedback dude! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Appreciate the vid. About to get the slx to go with the MFer or lux med heavy rod. Want it to be my new work horse. Jack of all baits.
I had the curado DC on my mfer rod and it was a beast! It was so versatile. Just bought a scorpion dc to go on an abu Garcia ike rod
Nice! I think you’ll enjoy it.
I've used all brands and landed on Shimano; im here to stay... I love the Curado DCs (own two); I don't own an SLX DC yet; at least not until I somehow purchase another Dobyns rod... Of course, I'd have hell to pay if I bring a 12th Shimano In the house.
Oh, almost forgot; "when is that 6th Sense Frog going to drop???"
😂🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting brotha. 👊🏼🙏🏼
I have 2 SLX DC reels, I think people misunderstand the DC technology. It was designed to be easy to use, set it and forget it even when you change lure weights. I use my thumb also because I dont use much brakes or tension and the reel doesnt know when the lure is in the 2nd half of the cast and starts to slow down but your spool is still spinning. Light feathering on the spool in the 2nd half of the cast and stop it when the lure hits the water.
Ok
Hi Justin! Hope your doing well!!
I have the SLX, and SLX DC and Im definitely plan on getting the curado dc with that stimulus check LMAO... thanks man
I’m sure you know but I use to set mine up the traditional way by letting it fall without the over run, but then I set it up just so that’s there’s no play in the spool you can cast so much farther on the dc reels
No issue with distance here brotha. Thanks for the heads up though. Appreciate you watching.
Dude you just got me hooked into getting my first bait caster. You really do a great job with the review of the products that you use.
Awesome! Thank you!
I LOVE my curado Dc 150xg.. I still thumb it a bit like I do with my lews or revo!!
Nice!
I wanna try a Shimano reel but just haven’t pulled the trigger because my Lews Mach Crush and my Lews Mach ll work great but I’ll probably be talking the wife into one with a rod from the 6. Great video keep it up bro 🎣
I used to use Lews until I got my first Shimano. No going back now.
Still have my lews and ...kinda use em, honestly curado dc is a superior “universal” reel. Wind still blows and the dc tech saved numerous headaches. My bb1 is still a great reel, buuuuut, I’m gettin lazy to be honest, dc it is
I've always used Lews. I may need to look in to one
I’ve used them before and owned multiple Lews reels in the past. In my OPINION, there is no comparison. Shimano all day.
@@JustinRoyal BANG BANG...TOTALLY RESPECT YOUR OPINON. IF YOU SAY THERE HEATERS THEN THEY ARE!
1st slx dc , no hum , blows up adjusted it like all my other reels brakes didn't work carried it back . Got a SLX XT love it stopped at wheeler damn on way home caught a 25+ drum 2nd cast SLX did the job , next reel will be a curado dc
sorry to hear, you'll like the curado.
I’ve got a metanium dc, curado dc, and a slx dc and ya the metanium has a little bit more features but I think that sweet spot is the curado. Nicer fit and finish than the slx but better price than the metanium. Crazy thing I’ve caught more on my slx than the others so all work well.
Awesome analysis. Thanks for the intel. 👊🏼
SLX is my pick...I got the japanese version (smaller spool)...love it.
the scorpion dc is better than both of those
Tell’em Brother
Very helpful vid
👊🏼🙏🏼
Always went with the budget Lew’s baitcasting combos like that American hero’s. My girl just got me a googan gold series go to rod for my birthday so I decided I would go ahead and treat myself to a nice reel. The Curado DC is a dream. I’ve never used a DC real before but man, I don’t think I can ever go back.
No knock on those American hero combos though. Still reliable and sentimental to me.
SLX DC for the money is a great reel. It’s the F-150 of Shimano. Curado Dc is like the King Ranch Super Duty. I have bth as well. I tent to lean more toward the Curado DC. Great vidja brotha🙌
Excellent analogy. Thanks for watching.
For you salmon and steelhead anglers, have you found a big difference between the 2 reels? I’m looking for ruggedness, good drag, and versatility (float fishing, throwing hardware and drift fishing).
