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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!! 🤘🏼🙏🏼

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.

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
