Excellent as always and I cant wait to see vs the 150.
I have to give credit where it’s due. You are the reason why I have bought so many different JDM reels. You take your time to analyze and give your honest review of each one. I know this isn’t a JDM reel, but your reviews are great. I appreciate the time, money, and effort for these videos. 👍🏻
Thanks brother!
Just put in my order for the 200m. I currently have a 150 mgl. Looking to put 40- 50lb braid with 30 lb mono leader for swim jigs. I assume both would be pretty good for the task.
When will the next video for curado mgl 150 vs the 200M will be uploaded?
Curado’s always been a workhorse but never had I really considered a shimano or even daiwa as a high performance casting reel’s
you could cast a little farther with those reels if they weren't overfilled. if you took off a little bit of line, just so the top edges of the spool is just visible they would cast even better.
I put exactly the perfect amount of line on both reels
@@THEREELTEST LOL
One brake on the K.
Adjust tension knob with the adjuster.
It'll throw alot better.
Four internal brakes on with a 1/2 once lure is over kill, strting with two brakes on makes sense. I would set the spool tension knob to free spool with a slight wobble. Then start with the external brake set at the middle setting 3 or 4. Then go up or down from there, in order to free up the spool to the optimum setting and use your thumb.
I don't get why people don't let their spool tension be att completely free with minimum play.. cast so much better than all videos showing how to set it up. When I did this change, the reels just worked a lot better than following the guides on TH-cam. Spool tension ist meant as a brake, you tension it so that it is free rolling with minima side play possible AND THEN use the brakes..
@@AndersMattson-bx6xpI use spool tension as a dialing in brake.
Silent tune differs from low-end to high-end but Shimano doesn't seem to differentiate. The SLX silent tune is just some rubber washers. Whereas the Bantam has the spring with a bearing. You'd have to look at the manual to see what version they put in this.
Rubber here....
What is thes best setting for 1/2 oz to 1oz??
Darn you. I love orange lines. 😂
Excellent. I've never been impressed with my 200K's casting distance.
it was probably the best casting reel in its class
I was gonna update my MGL 150 to the 200Ms but chose not too. I have smaller hands and I palm the 150 easily through out 6-8 hour flex’s.
150 is great allround size 👍
yeah, Im picking the 150 MGL just for the ergonomics
@@THEREELTEST 👌 Now I'm leaning towards Bantam A 🙈. But the new 23Tatula100 looks beasty too 🤷
@@agnosticfreedom9926 The Bantam A is smashes any Tatula, or really anything at or below the Bantam's asking price. It's basically a mini Conquest that you can get for $250 from Japan
@@Jon-nz3dm I agree, but new Tat has better features, than previous gens though. Do you have the BantamA? Which ratio?
I gotta video idea for ya… make a tier list of all the Shimano baitcasters for us. Maybe do different categories such as BFS reels, deep cranking or just best overall 🤷🏻♂️. I’ll leave that up to you, the professional, it would be cool to get your opinion of what’s the best of the best for the money or whatever. I struggle to find them in stores to get a hands on feel of them and would love to know your opinion of what’s best for whatever application. Just a thought brotha, either way, love the content you give us!
This is a great idea and exactly what I want to see
The wind is blowing in the direction your casting
how clever of you to notice
Can use for saltwater ?
Anything Shimano with an MGL spool (doesn’t matter 1,2, or 3) is going to cast a mile. IMO the MGL spool makes a bigger difference than the DC chip. For anyone looking at a Curado, I highly suggest the 150 MGL. It’s an absolute workhorse & hard to beat at the price point. I actually prefer it to some of the more expensive reels.
The Curado E was my favorite color for the series. Mostly for the reason that probably 95% of the reels on the market are black or close to black and also silver.
and does anyone know where I can get the drag clicker for the shimano 201 M
A cast test with the wind at your back?
Wait, what is this magic trick casting setup? Turn all brakes on and set external to highest and just adjust spool play? Can you please elaborate on that a little more?
if the M and K match up brake settings, the M will cast much farther
Do you know why this reel is only available on online stores and not mainstream retailers like BPS, Academy, etc?
Hasn't reached most retailers yet
they will be there soon
And I think Jdm reels are the best for 150 it feels so smooth cast well and I love the push button for them if you can get Antares dc or reaglur one or you can get a SLX one or curado or scorpion they are all good but if you like dc sound go for the dc Jdm if you like light reel go for Jdm reels too they should start selling Jdm reels in USA and have ever Shimano reel a USA instead of you have to look it up and buy it from japan
Have you done any videos with the new Lew's Pro & Elite reels?
Particularly against the Shimano & Daiwa reels? EVERYONE is strictly Shimano these days and it drives me nuts. LOL
you are welcome to buy one and send it in to me
I recently picked up doyo coba rainbow iv which should be the equivalent to the elite if not a step higher. Its not a bad reel if your a lews fan. It is quite light and I like the hook keeper option it comes with. Not sure if the lews version has that though. It's smooth enough to be good but isn't shimano or daiwa smooth. Haven't done a cast test with it but from what I've seen on the comments on videos its average. I definitely wouldn't take it over a shimano or a daiwa of the equivalent though. At that price you are in the zone of an antares and steez. Nothing wrong if you just wanna stick a brand you like but it would be delusional to say its better than others especially when it isn't. The only thing I can think of is the drag as shimano and daiwas tend to be on the lower side.
@@torment6369 thanks for the input. I would love to try one just out of curiosity but Im not trying to spend that kind of money for it
@@THEREELTEST I honestly bought it for collectors value lol. From all the korean videos I've seen and tried to read translated, it seems to be a solid reel but the competition is just too high at its price. It is also a bit of a hassle to get compared to jdm reels out of the country. The nice thing though is that you can order it to come with a deep spool, shallow spool, or super shallow spool.
I'm a swedish pike fisher, would like to see these reels casting big swim baits for us pike fishers, my jerk rod that's only 30-80g won't throw a halv ounce frog on any day.
Could you please redo the casting test here with larger 2-4 ounce baits? What I cast are often 2oz to 3oz.
Could you please please please please do a video of that?! I'm buying one but don't know which to choose..
@THEREELTEST Can you please redo the test with heavier baits?
Those bigger baits. Needs a. 300K.
The tick is getting to be a normal with shimano 😢 even new reels lately .. its like a vibration tick when retrieving
What do you think about the metanuim over the curado m
metanium all day. I prefer light reels
If you had a $200 maximum reel budget and could only buy one reel, any brand, which reel would you buy? I have a 150 mgl and really like it. My yearly Black Friday reel purchase will have a $200 limit and trying to decide if 200 m would be an upgrade over the 150.
east answer... JDM SLX DC XT
@THEREELTEST what's the JDM part?
Get another MGL…The M is gonna cast a little further & is beefier than the 150 MGL. Maybe a little more geared towards bigger baits. Also, thumb bar design is a little different on the M. Hard to beat the 150 MGL at your price point.
Honorable mention: The newer Daiwa Tatula 100 TW series is in your price point & highly recommend. Make sure it’s the new one though with the hyperdrive. Honestly, you make get one so you have both brands if don’t have any Daiwa already. You might end up liking it more than Shimano, a lot of guys do.
@@CaesarSmithFishing I have two Daiwa lexa hd 300 reels that I love, which are the only Daiwa’s that I own. I have heard so much about Daiwas coming shipped with very little oil/grease and I’m apprehensive about getting the new one you described
On th K, it looks like it was. 7.4 while on the newer M, it was an 8.5. Would that have made any difference?
That is for the retrieve. Gear ratios. Spool spins x times per handle rotation for x amount of inches a handle turn.
I think the difference here is the MagnumLite spool being lighter. It allows the spool to rotate just a little more, with less resistance on a cast.
Zillion for the win
Lol and get out cast by a 25 year old abu 6500!! Ask me how I know!
You're watching the wrong channel since there's nothing objective when daiwa is mentioned 😂
what rod is that?
I said it in the video
I think they should have the rods and reels in matching greens...
does anyone have the timestamp for the magic trick
watch till the end and I explain it
I’m casting a finesse worm with no weight about 75+ft with my M.
Can we cast ultra ligjt lures in 200M?
I've heard they are better at casting larger weights, I will cast minimum 2oz and maybe over 5oz, and that is where it shines from other reviewers. I'll be using it for pike fishing here in Sweden. More than adequate for that.
I would have liked to see you dial the brakes down on this test but oh well until next time
i will in the field cast battles
Noticed "the tick" when you reel fast; the knobs have freeplay, which wasn't surprising with my tatula, but shocked me when I heard it on shimano.
They probably do sell knob washers to aid that problem?
no, the knob tolerance is perfect, a little too tight actually. But all reels will make a few noises when cranking fast and the drag tightened
The k IS black . Probably why it stil looked that way in the sunlight😅
The K wasn’t black??
Sorry I didn't understand the magic trick at all. All brakes at max and so what happens? 🤷♂️🙈
in the same brake settings, the M casts much farther
@@THEREELTESTThanks 😊 The new M did really well
Im sad to say it but the new M look worse than the K...
I think the opposite, very classy looking reel the M
I think the k is still way better more smooth better looking and I would rather have a SLX dc then the curado m cuz m is so ugly don’t feel right to the touch and I feel like the k would last way longer by the touch of the material
I think that is all in your head, this is shimanos best seller and they would never never go far from what currados have been. Just because it is their best seller. And, it isn't very much changed under the bonnet, still all is the same except the silent tune o-rings.
Curado K’s cast like crap and weight to much. Very smooth reel. But if they were not made by Shimano they wouldn’t be very popular.
if you think they cast like crap then you dont understand the brakes
@@THEREELTEST I rarely use breaks. Lews and Diawa will out cast the Curado K all day every day. I just expect longer cast at that price point. Hopefully the Curado M is improved.
@@timg185 Ive proven the K casts farther than the competing Daiwa Tatula in several cast battles. So i doubt you knew how to set the brakes up
@@THEREELTEST okay ! But that’s not been my experience. I had a Curado k and sold it . Because everyone of my cast were shorter than what I was use to. Affecting accuracy mostly. I now have a Curado DC . But I mostly only use it for 1/2 ounce spinnerbaits . I don’t feel it cast lighter weight lures very well.
You probably had the spool tension to high... The spool should not have any tension on them, turn it so that the spool is without tension and the most minimal side play in the spool possible. THEN, you use the brakes.. all vids here showing you should tension it so that the bait slowly goes to the ground and change between baits Is not how professionals set theirs up, it is for beginners. It seems like pretty many don't know that thou.. over here I Sweden every fisherman adjust it so. Hopefully in your country too or otherwise a superb Currado could be felt to be shite, but the shite is in the user..
