Bassaddiction Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 So I am a DIE HARD Shimano Curado E7/E5 owner, all of my bait casters are the E series. this is the first new reel I am giving a try in many many years. Should be in this week. Wondering if anyone has tried them or owns them? Looking forward to the DC series Quote
Bassaddiction Posted October 16, 2018 Author Posted October 16, 2018 No offense to him but thats his first bait caster, so I was looking for more seasoned fisherman that have been using bait casters for much longer. Quote

Russ Brown Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 I ask these questions before I make a purchase. I would rather be warned away from a product beforehand than "fish" for reassurance that I did the right thing after the fact. There is so much info here, if I buy something that doesnt work out it is because I didnt do my research first. Russ 1 Quote

I also have several Curado "E"s and I purchased a JDM Scorpion DC last year. I have two of the Curado K's. If the Curado DC is very similar to the Scorpion DC and I am assuming it is. I have been very pleased with the Scorpion DC's performance. It throws light finesse worms (1/8 oz ball head jig) very well and I've used it up to 1/2 oz lipless and spinner baits. I'm using 12-14# fluorocarbon (Sniper or Tatsu) on it for what it is worth. The Curado K's do not throw the light baits as well. Hope that information helps with your decision. Fishingmickey Quote
TBAG Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Plenty of topics on this reel already, but I think you'll be pleased. Quote
