Setting up your Curado DC reel properly.

Just a quick and raw walk through video of how I set up my Curado DC reel so it works to the best of its capabilities. Set up was a Curado DC XG with a G.Loomis GLX 893 C JWR, 50lb Power Pro Super8Slick V2 and a Jackall Kaera Frog. #Shimano #CuradoDC #SetUp #Fishing #Baitcaster #FishShimano

    *Bought a 500 for an ultralight rod. It's very smooth **enjoyable.fishing** recommend casts great. One odd thing- the bale wire is a bit heavy diameter in my opinion for a reel of this size. But a great purchase.*

    Thanks for making this vid JP. Very first cast after putting on 30lbs Super Slick braid and got a huge ass backlash. Now granted my cast was only about 50% of how I usually throw but I was frustrated to say the least. I didn't touch (well hardly) the tension knob before hand. So now I'm watching every vid I can to learn how to properly tune this thing and try casting again but I will admit I'm a bit nervous now.

    Thanks for the tip JP. Somehow i still have problems with my Curado DC. Iam a fishing newbie and also still using spinning reel to learn. For fishing trout iam using a 1,5 or 2,6 gram hardlure. Westin W3 finesse T rod, 5-20gram with 0.20mm braid line. After first try i realise that the lure is to light (cant casting at all) and adding 9 gram more weightcasting. When less smooth casting i got a little bird nest and always birdnest by not thumbing when the lure hits the water. Not gain any distance by selecting break number 2. I tried your instruction in this video. Selecting break number 4 for thumbless casting, break number 3 for braid/longer distance and adjusting the tension knob until no side to side movement. Also tried the traditional methode by adjusting the tension knob for each lure. I can heard the DC running when casting. What did i do wrong?. Something wrong with my setup?. Is the line to tick?. I hope u can help me.

    @Fishing Fanatic Freddy Casting 9 grams isnt bait finesse. Its in the normal range for all of shimanos 200 size reels. Here in Australia we typically bass fish with baitcasters and lures 8 or 9 grams and ive had to stop selling them because of the number of returns. Its got way way too much braking on the minimum setting. I've got chronarchs, calais, calcuttas and a calcutta dc from 2006. They all handle 8 grams no worries. But not this pile of crap. I dont know what shimano were thinking.......... apparantly only double handed plug rods and heavy lures....... Yes 2.5 gram lures are out of the range of all of these reels and that is BFS. But 8 or 9 grams?......no.

    There are a lot of good braids on the market, I have been using PowerPro my entire life basically and it has yet to let me down but J Braid is also a quality product. The bigger concern should be what pound test you run. The thinner the line the more it will bite into the spool on a bait caster. I usually recommend 30, 40, 50, 65 or 80 lb test for best line management.

    JP DeRose thanks for The info we put 20 on just for me to practice around the Estuary system but I’ll upgrade it before I come to America. I’m thinking I’m go 30 that way I can also use to it chase barramundi in Australia. One more question one of the people at the store I got it from said to use the 4x instead of the 8x but we put the 8x on any advice about that?

    heavy braid like Power Pro is best for learning to cast. 50 lb is a great starting point. The heavier the braid the less distance you will get, the lighter, the more distance.

    Set up mine exactly the same way, cast the exact same, blew up like any other reel. However this was out of the box.. how long or how many casts does it take to charge the computer? I had 14lb fluoro on mine. I am wondering if I have a bad micro chip???? Had do I tell? And advice? The reel is super smooth, just backlashes like any other reel if I don’t thumb it. You bombed it in your video without touching the spool which makes me wonder if I have a bad chip??????? Thanks for any advice

    You still have to stop the spool at the end with DC reels. Where they assist is during the lure flight unless you have it on number 4 and adjust the spool tension knob to the weight of the bait.

    You don't put your line through the spool, you use an arbor knot anytime you want to tie your line to your spool. If you are using straight braid, use the arbor knot them out a small piece of tape on top of the knot and start spooling the reel. That will stop the slipping

    Did you learn how to control it from backlashing? I bought one back in the late fall and had to return it because it would backlash no matter what setting I tried. It was the only one they had so they just refunded my money. I picked up another one at Cabela's today. I'm gonna take it to the lake and lock it down tight and adjust it from there. Hopefully I wont have to waist my braid line this time. Lol
