    • Love my Curado… But…
Size: Gear Ratio: 7.4:1 | Size: 150 Left
The Shimano Curado DC is an excellent reel that solves a specific problem: backlashes in bad conditions. It is not magic. It will not make you a pro overnight, and if you already have an "educated thumb," you might find the price premium hard to justify. However, for skipping docks, throwing light lures into the wind, or just having an stress-free day on the water, it is arguably the best tool on the market. The Good (Pros) • The "Wind Cheat Code": This is the #1 reason to buy this reel. You can throw a spinnerbait directly into a 20mph headwind with almost zero thumb feathering, and it just... works. • Skipping Made Easy: Skipping a jig under a dock is one of the hardest casts to master. The DC system reacts instantly to the sudden deceleration when the bait hits the water, drastically reducing the "blowups" that usually happen when you mess up a skip. • Versatility: The I-DC4 brake dial has 4 simple settings: 1. Max Distance (least braking) 2. Braid / General Purpose 3. Fluorocarbon / Stiffer line 4. Skipping / Max Control (heavy braking) Most people set it to 2 or 3 and never touch it again. • Build Quality: It’s a Curado. It uses the "Hagane" body (Shimano's fancy word for rigid metal), so it feels solid in the hand with zero flex. The MicroModule gears are buttery smooth when new. The Bad (Cons) • The Price Tag: You are paying a ~$70-$80 premium just for the computer chip. A standard Curado K performs mechanically very similarly for much less cash. • The Sound: Every time you cast, the reel makes a distinct whiiiiine sound (like a tiny electric car). • Some people love it: "It sounds futuristic." • Some people hate it: "It’s annoying and scares the fish (probably not, but it scares me)." • Weight & Size: The 150 DC is slightly heavier and bulkier than the standard Curado MGL 150 because the side plate has to house the computer unit. It’s not a brick, but it’s not the most compact reel in its class. • DIY Maintenance is Risky: If you are the type to take your reels apart for deep cleaning, be warned. The DC unit is a sealed module. If you mess with the screws on the side plate incorrectly or strip them (common issue), you can brick the braking system. • Corrosion Point: If used in saltwater, the area between the pinion gear and clutch base is a known corrosion trap if not rinsed thoroughly. Final Verdict The Shimano Curado DC is a luxury, not a necessity. But it is a luxury that actually delivers on its promise. It makes fishing easier and less frustrating, which usually means you keep your lure in the water longer—and that's how you catch more fish. ... show more

What a great bait caster specially on windy conditions very smooth and efficient. It will get the work done when it comes to throwing smaller and lighter lures 10/10

Review Image by Yanirys Garcia
This is my first baitcaster reel, ive been fishing for over a decade on and off and it wasn’t until recently that i got into freshwater fishing and saw how fun was going after bass. This reel is excellent if you are just getting started thanks to its braking system dc. You will get backlashes here and then its part of having a baitcaster but it greatly improves the experience against a baitcaster without dc. For me after the first trip out i got used to it pretty good and now I have it in my car ready to take it out every day when possible. I highly recommend this reel and will definitely keep adding more high end ones when budget allows. ... show more

    • So far so good
Size: Gear Ratio: 7.4:1 | Size: 150 Left
The media could not be loaded. Product came on time and I’ve had no issues as of yet. Reel is very smooth. Took it out for 2 fishing trips already and easily casted about 200 times. Quality is good.

Size: Gear Ratio: 7.4:1 | Size: 150 Left
Great product and helps me cast quite well. Another fantastic Japanese designed item. Even my teenage sons love using these things. They prefer them over anything else. I’ve taken these things to Brazil to Northern Canada and they’ve never quit. They never break and they always come through.

I bought this for myself when I purchased a $275 Shimano for my son. I can't tell a difference. Very well made. Very smooth. Casts and pitches beautifully.

    • Curado DC is good for now...
Size: Gear Ratio: 8.5:1 | Size: 150 Left
It kinda an over hype reel when it first came out. It has the same features as the Curado K & just an additional DC concept upgrade, replacing the infinity and outer brake. The goods thing about it cast a bit further & better in winding condition than an conventional reel. Really, it just help you reducing thumbing and less backlashes. Not the best but great quality for its price. ... show more
