TBAG Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 So, I'm probably going to be getting a Curado DC on Black Friday with the discount from TW. It'll be my first experience using a DC reel and also my only DC reel in my line-up for at least all of next season. I have Curado K's and a Fuego CT on all my setups now. So my question is what technique would you use your DC with exclusively. These are my baitcasting setups. - crankbait (x2) (one for lipless/smaller cranks and the other for larger and deep divers) - jig/texas rig - jerkbait - topwater Quote
CybrSlydr Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I currently have the 8.5:1 in LHR and use mine for T-rigged worms and bullet weights. I've also used it with topwaters. Quote
bigfruits Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 dont have the curado but have the metanium dc and its great for windy days. my favorite spinnerbait reel. 1 Quote
CroakHunter Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Mine would be jerkbaits. Just because they are thrown a lot on windy days and cold temps meaning controlling your cast due to conditions and cold fingers may be more difficult. 2 Quote
Super User burrows Posted October 20, 2018 Super User Posted October 20, 2018 I preordered a Curado DC when it first came out but cancelled at last minute I was going to put it on my spinnerbait chatter bait rod. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted October 20, 2018 Super User Posted October 20, 2018 It’s just a reel. It casts well, and you can throw anything with it. It’s not foolproof and will still backlash. Quote
MittenMouth Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 I think Shimano is excluded - may be better to use an auction site for a discount. Quote
Derek1 Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 I want one for a cranking set up so that’s what I would use it for. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted October 20, 2018 Super User Posted October 20, 2018 I would use for soft plastic that often is an issue in the wind..... Zoom lizards, creature baits, big ribbon tail worms, and maybe finesse jigs. Quote
Junger Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 I use it for any technique other than pitching/flipping and lures under 1/4oz. It's ability to fix overruns really shines on long, full casts. Quote
