My first time fishing in over 30 years I got a chance to use a buddy's rig and had a blast. I had knew I needed my own rig so started researching. Decided on the Curado DC. I was a little worried being completely clueless about fishing and seeing some reviews about the reel where people had problems. I followed DanielG's instructions and they are perfect. I fished for three hours straight, no thumb ever and no issues with birds nests. My buddy who has been fishing regularly for over 30 years can still cast a little further on his Abu reel but maybe only 10-15 feet more. I have the Curado DC locked down in beginner mode. After her tried the DC he said he had to have one. Thanks Daniel!
