How to Setup a Curado DC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 вер 2023
- Welcome back to Slammed Outdoors, in today's video I'm going to walkthrough the process of setting up a Shimano Curado DC. The Curado DC has a unique brake design thanks to it's digitally controlled chip, because of this the tension knob is used differently then most Baitcasting reels. The brakes on the side of the reel have 4 different settings. 1 for long casts, 2 for Braid/Mono, 3 for Fluorocarbon and 4 for pitching/no backlash. Hope this video helps, remember to like and subscribe it really helps the channel.

I fished that exact spot like 2 weeks ago and ran a 5 k there this past weekend I was surprised to see it
That’s really cool, I went to that 5k last weekend to watch and help out. Hope your race went well!
Great video. Just subscribed! The one thing I wish people would explain about the "wiggling spool" is if that wiggle amount is different for every lure weight because if always sounds like people are ignoring the lure weight and just "fixing it" until it stops wiggling. I just upgraded to this from an Abu Garcia Zata and on that reel I would adjust the tension knob until the lure drops slowly. How is this setup different on the Shimano? Does a lighter lure cause different spool rattle than a heavier one? Just wondering how you adjust the tension for the lure weight.
The wiggle amount should be the same for every lure with the Curado DC. The reasoning behind tightening the spool so it doesn’t have any wiggle is to ensure the DC chip in the reel can get the correct casting distance without backlashing. I haven’t personally noticed any difference with rattle between the different lure weights but I have notice a little as you lose line on the spool over time. If you think you’re going to throw lighter baits on your curado I’d recommend maybe tightening the tension knob a little bit past the point where it wiggles or set the brakes to 4 until you get the casting distances dialed in. Thanks for the sub! Hope this explanation helps!
@@SlammedOutdoors so this is what I find confusing though. Do you not adjust the spool tension individually for each lure so that they drop "slow"? If I adjust the spool tension only to the point where the rattle goes away then the lure still drops pretty quickly. My instinct is to tighten it more so that I get a slow drop on the lure but then I'm tightening it considerably more past the point where the spool just stops rattling.
Yea it seems really weird at first, you don’t need to adjust the tension by bait on a Curado if it has the DC chip in it. If you have problems backlashing with it set this way then I’d probably tighten it a little but I haven’t noticed it being a problem. The DC reels are probably the only baitcasting reels like this, It was a weird adjustment when I switched to it also.
@@SlammedOutdoors perfect! That's the answer I was looking for. Man that's such an adjustment for the brain. Up until now it's always "Make sure you readjust your tension knob every time you put a new lure on!"
I still don't get it. If I do it this way I get very little to no distance fishing weightless or light lures
thanks for sharing, if you are using braid, whats the weight. again, thanks and God Bless.
I have 30 LB braid on mine but I would recommend anywhere between 30 and 50 LB depending on how heavy of cover you have to fish.
Do you have to adjust it again if you chance the lure?
Yea
You might have to move the tension knob a little bit but probably not much
Bro my dc has drag slip. Idk what to do. I have fluorocarbon on it spooled at bass pro, I have to turn my drag star all the way down to get it not to slip. It’s really tightened down. Even at 80% tightened down, it still slips. I had braid on it and it was even worse. Any tips?
It’s weird that it’s still slipping with flouro, if it’s still an issue you could put a piece of electrical tape on the spool over the knot that you used to tie the line to the spool and that should help if it keeps slipping, braid has a bad tendency to slip if it’s tied directly to the spool. If it’s slipping on the hookset you might just need to tighten the drag unless your breaking off on the hookset. If this doesn’t help it lmk or check with bass pro to see if they have any possible solutions or if something is wrong with the reel itself.
What pound test are you using
12LB flourocarbon
Hey, am I suppose to be able to pull line out of it?
I would try tightening the drag and see if that fixes the issue.
@@SlammedOutdoors appreciate it
How to fix if your tension knob is all the way up 100% and it still slips rotates how to fix
I’d try to loosen the tension knob to around 50-60% ish depending on how much line you have on the spool, the spool should still rotate but it should barely wiggle back and fourth if you put your thumb on it. If you set the tension knob about halfway this should help with that, the rest of the adjustments can be made with the brakes by setting it to 3 or 4 to start with and go from there. Hope this helps!
