Wow, that’s bigger then I expected. Do you know if the XT is on a different frame as well? It’s a bit heavier then the base model but not as much as the DC is. Quote
Hulkster Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 i played with one today at my local tackle store and wasn't really impressed. granted, i have never used a DC reel but i also don't think i ever will, im great with a baitcaster as is. having said that, for the money i think i would just get a curado K and have much better components (eg the drag star on this is not even metal) Quote

The contours of the frames don't match. As far as sizes goes keep in mind that in a picture like that the reel in the foreground will look considerably larger than the one in the background. In person I doubt the size difference is that great. Goos point, but the .7 ounce weight difference has to come from somewhere, but maybe the DC system is heavier then I imagined. Quote

I have been contemplating a Curado DC but the reel is just so wide, and width is something that does bother me about the K, which has a slimmer profile then the DC. I prefer the K over the SLX as far as casting distance, smooth reeling and overall build quality/feel. The only thing I really like about the SLX over the K is the smaller size. It just fits me perfect. Quote
Johnbt Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Looks like they're shipping. This is from Michigan, not Virginia. I just happened to see it while I was shopping. 1 Quote
TBAG Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Sweet! I'll be grabbing one in LH when I can find one. Quote
rock rock rock Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Got a Curado DC, hated it, sent it back and got a regular Curado K...the IDC4 sucks (my opinion, others seem to love it) Quote
