Who wants more MOST EXPENSIVE vids???
LOJO hell yeah
Yeah man!👍👍
ME
Try out the Shimano SLX DC. It has basically the same technology in it but its only $189
Hunter Timmerman that’s the reel I was referencing. 🤙🏻
You should do a video where you send me the most expensive reel on amazon, that would be a cool vid
Lol just messing with you! Love your vids
😂🤣
The "A" is for auto allowing the chip to set the brakes. You didnt even get to the secondary adjustments inside for type of line. I hate saying this, but read the damn directions. 😂😂😂
Directions are for wimps
@@MELONHEAD954 I know and I hate myself for saying it. 😂😂😂 But when you are completely confused like that, it can be a good thing. Sorry.🙈🙈🙈
Lpl I can't read
@@lojofishing well then you did proper throwing them to the side. Atleast I now know that we as subscribers need to be your guiding light and show you the way. 😁
@@lojofishing I have the Scorpion dc which is 1 step down from yours ( 300) which has all the directions in Japanese. So people saying read the directions must Be Japanese. You actually rocked it for not knowing how to set it up. Once you learn how to set it up you'll love it even more.
There is a second setting inside the left side for mono, braid, flouro,....you rocked it so apparently not that big of a deal. The low drag is the downfall as you stated.
Great video as always....
LoJo: buys 300 hundred dollar reel- “I can do better”
Broke me: pulling up to the lake with my 30 dollar Walmart baitcaster
*Pulls up with my 12 dollar reverb from Walmart*
Da $10 zebco dock demon!!! Haha
12 dollar bass pro shops reel
same
Drew Piper 8$ zebco 202
Hey Lojo, dc stands for digital control, it's kind of awesome, it measures the spools rotation about 1000 times per second ( it's the dc unit, that makes the sound, kinda like a sort of computer) , to help get the perfect cast, also, this kind of technologie makes it possible to cast without the use of your thumb to slow the spool
Wish reel: Makes a sounds
Him: wtf is wrong with this thing!?!
$500 reel: makes a sound
Him: wow that's amazing!
Daniel Liguori the wish reel doesn’t have dc technology. The metanium dc does
Big difference it what sound the reel is making.
It’s a dc so it makes that noise
The Drag is not a issue with Shimano. In fact I would say that over 11 lbs is completely unnecessary for bass fishing. All the companies marketing for how much lb of drag they have is kinda BS(more pressure on the internal of the reel causes more wear), when what really matters is the smoothest of drag. Shimano has the smoothest drag hands down with Diawa coming close.
Also treat the Shimano metanium a little bit better then other reels due to its gears issues. Shimano aluminum rmicro modules gears seem to wear faster then there brass counter part, but the aldebaran doesn’t have he problem due to not having micro gears. You can put brass gears, however, clean and maintain the reel if you plan on putting a lot pressure such as frog fishing...I know because I have the metanium DC as-well and it needed to be sent in for service half way through the year. This is why the new metanium has brass gears now.
I dont know like anything about freshwater, and this is a year old (lol) but diawa is probably the best right now in almost every category.
" I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS " A " BUTTON IS FOR"
" INSTRUCTIONS? We WoNt NeEd ThOsE ! "
but what’s the button actually for
A=automatic
lololol "cold and white.. Just like my ex" hahahahaha
🤣😂
My ex too
Mine too...
Def a legit LOL.
From what I've heard, that low max drag really makes a difference on break-off's on 8+lb fish. Its kind of a second safety net behind heavy line for the big ones!
14:30 “AW GAWD” I have said that so many times for the same reason😂😂
the point of the DC reels is that they throw fewer backlashes when set properly. They have the slx dc at $189 and the Carado de at $249 both of which are awesome reels that have the digitally controlled spools. The braking systems are not as refined in those reels and they have fewer subset settings, but they are still terrific reels at a much better price point. I think the longer you own the Metanium the more happier you'll be.
Watched all the way through. Nice review man! Can’t see myself ever having a reel that pricey though.
Dillon Moore reel pricey 😉😉😂😂
"It looks like the new tesla truck."
Wouldnt that be an insult, since the new tesla truck looks like a cheese grater with windows.
I grew up bass fishing but occasionally fished for snook and tarpon in brackish water. I ended up working on commercial and charter fishing boats and that's when I really started to dive into reel specs and drag capacity and max drag. I've changed out drag washers on many saltwater reels on the boats. On the party boat I worked on, we had 3/0 & 4/0s used everyday and they're spooled with 50lb mono and relatively tight drag by googans(weekend warriors and those who think they know what they're doing) lol. As for all my freshwater reels, mainly shimano, I've only had one or two reels serviced and drag replaced.
Just remember as a rule of thumb, you shouldn't put more than 30% of drag on the line you're using. 25% is recommended but I do push upwards of 30 or even 40%. But 30lb line, 10lbs of drag. If the reel only has an 11lb capability, 10 lbs of drag is close to it's max and will burn your drag washers faster when fish make long runs(not a huge concern with bass fishing since a 20ft run isn't very far).
How to check your drag, attach scale directly to a bench or table that won't move, attach line to scale, then point the rod straight at the scale and pull back slowly and adjust until you get the percentage you want. Bass fishing is much different bc you tend to horse them up with a tight drag and they usually don't make a long run unless using ultralight tackle.
Sorry for the long and late comment but hope this helps some of you guys that read this in the future 👍
Ayy bro that reel looks crisp man I just got the shimano slx and it is one of my best purchases fishing so far!
Ayy I got the slx for my bday a few months ago
Love my slx. Right behind my scorpion DC
I just got my SLX in the mail two days ago 🤗🥳😂
I’m so mad at myself for buying the SLX right before the SLX DC came out. Still an awesome reel though!
got my SLX last year. Awesome reel
I have both the metanium and the curado dc reels. Both are worth it 100% the control and the quality of those reels are fantastic
Lews has left the chat
Mikey Dahlin they dropped him once they signed KVD
i’m kidding
I'm glad he's finally using more shimano
john Wilkerson I know right
Yea im tired of youtubers pushing there sponsors on the viewers every rod out there can break very easily there is no unbreakable rods all can get nocks in graphite and break but hands down shimano has the best reels out diawa makes sone reels that are just as good but the quality is 2nd to none
Yes shimanos and daiwas are the best reels
Sherry Williams yeah as far as reels go Shimano and Daiwa will always be the top , Shimano especially with casting reels , big name reel companies don’t always make great rods like Lews and Abu , they make worth owning bang for your buck stuff. But if you want to spend money on rods you go to a company that only makes rods , i.e- Dobyns, G Loomis. St Croix, Powell, Megabass, Lamiglass to name a few but yeah Shimano is that rare company that does both great especially now that they own Loomis 🤷🏼♂️
@@andrewwolf4963 Daiwa’s Baitcasting reels are actually the best. it hurts me to say this because I am a Shimano guy😪
Love these kinds of videos, the walmart ones are the best. Cant wait for this weather to break looking forward to some kayak fishing videos!
Hell yea LoJo.. That DC sound is super sikk.. shout out jon b. I felt the same way when I heard that sound.. 👍👍
If I’m correct
“Hg” is high gear (7 gear ratio)
“Xg” is extra high gear (8 gear ratio)
And the one that doesn’t have letters is just a 6 gear ratio
PG for power gear, for jigging reels at least.
0:02
that sound is like heaven to a fisherman right there
These vids are amazing. I watch u before class and during some classes. Keep up the great work
Damm Lojo I see that 12 pack back there lol
Love the video!!!
I have a 2005 shimano calista casting reel and had it serviced for the first time this year. Here in South Africa our reels work really hard because of the heavy cover and lots of dust but i can tell you this reel is still one of my favourites and lasts forcever. Thanks for the interesting content you post. Tight lines.
A is automatic..1 is least breaking..2 is braid mono..3 is flurocarbon..4 is most breaking.
That’s not how the braking works for the metanium DC it’s different then IDC4
@@grandfishing590 It has the IDC 4 breaking. Sorry is ID C 5. The Metanium has A setting which is different from the others.
So many people are so wrong saying the numbers are for line types
@@danielmatias7175 go check out Reel Test..he explains it all bout DC reels and many other baitcasting reels.
Timothy Wehrman I don’t need to go check out reel test.... the numbers are NOT for line types... inside the reel is where you adjust line type... the outside numbers are for the strength of dc braking that goes with your lures weight. Higher the number... the more braking
My Friend: Ugh I can’t stop back lashing.
Me: Haha DC Reel go weeeeeeeeeeeeee
That’s a beautiful reel. Shimano makes baitcasters with built in electronics that are well over a grand. Glad to see you doing colabs with Andrew!! Another one of my favorite channels. #lojofam #riversteward #goonies #sallys
my first baitcast reel was a Shimano and my best friend talked me into exchanging it for a Diawa Mag Force first reel with a magnetic braking system. It's 40 years since and it still works like new. Tight lines, C-Ya
Advise:good things come to those who wade.
They also make the slx dc, which is 189$. Love the vids!
Starting a movement, Lojo fishing fam for life!!
I gotta say. I’m really glad you’re slowly moving into shimano reels 😎 you won’t be disappointed
“XG” Xtra Good! 😂 Very cool video! Thanks for sharing.
I am sure you knew that DC stands for Digitally controlled. I have the SLX I think which is 189 bucks and it works beautifully. That sound is the digital control.
I haven't been watching a lot of youtube recently so I need to catch up on all your new vids
11 pounds of drag has never been an issue until someone made it an issue.... I'm 51 and have had a Citica 200D and two 200CI's which I still fish one and have a Curado E7 (Still fishing) and a Cruxis ( haven't thrown away for some reason) and I cant tell you the max drag. It wasn't a problem at any of the tournament's either.
Yep....new here but can tell I will be here a while. Digging those Oaks. The green tint on them things are sick👍🏾
4:05 dont mind me Just playing with my 500 dollar toy
I just got a hold of the SLX XT and it is truly an amazing reel. It doesn't have that sweet buzzing sound of a DC reel, but it performs extremely well. I am a Lews guy, but after watching so many videos on the SLX I had to get one.
they have a DC version now. its awesome
Love my curados really considering ordering a dc you can just feel how well built shimano are in hand have some lews,13 over $200 awesome reels but you cant beat the feel of a curado just solid reels
My $50 combo does the same thing makes the same sound and has more drag so I’m good with my lil zebco
My man is that a tattoo under your wedding band? If it is, that's pure dedication my friend... hats off
I love the sound of the digital chip in reel when you cast it out
not the chip per say . but the electro mag brake :)
Dude you finally got a DC reel. It's gonna be your favorite reel, mark my words
I'd like to see you try that Walmart lews bait cast combo
Cowboy Bob the orange one for like 90 bucks?
@@fof_fishing1468 yea
Cowboy Bob i have it I haven’t fished with it for a while but it’s pretty good
I have one too I just figured since he's more versed in the lews high end I wanted to see how it compared
The numbers are for different line types for the reel and the a is for automatic
. The chip inside the reel checks the spool speed 100x per second so, depending on the wind it will know how fast or slow the reel will need to go.
I'd love to see you review it's little brother (SLX DC) at the price point of $189.99... that price seems a little better than what you paid for that FREAKIN BEAST of a reel!
Thanks for the review my dude.
🤟🎣🤟
I spent $190 on my Shimano SLX DC. Best fishing investment i’ve made. It handles huge pike, bass, you name it. Can cast really light lures like the ned rig with it, makes pitching easy. It’s hard going back to conventional braking once you get a DC reel
That intro!🤣🤣🤣
I love the digital chip reels, you can cast the lightest of gear directly into the wind without backlash
you're reaching sir
Your right. That zing noise is music to my ear! Keep up the videos!
Not sure if anyone else has said, but dc is for the digital chip inside the reel. All shimano reels with dc beside the name will have it. It just helps increase casting distances and reduce the amount of backlash you can get. Great reels. If you wanna try a higher dollar reel than that, check out the shimano Antares
Also, nice vid lojo! Love watching these videos
The tension knob is supposed to be set to where the side to side movement of the spool is gone and that’s it to get the max performance out of the reel also in side the side plate there are three options f for floro pe for braid and N for mono.
I would to see more how-to video’s! I’m still new to bass fishing & using baitcasters , wanna see a video by you of how to pitch&flip and how to pick a good spot where to fish when exploring new fishing spots such as lakes and ponds (for bank angler) .. sorry for such long comment btw. My biggest issue is going to a pond/lake and not knowing where to throw and what to throw. I have enough knowledge to get by but wanna be better
The thing with shimano reels r they cast very far n feel very smooth when u reel/crank it becuz of the high quality bearings but they lack a good strong drag n you cannot spool a lot of line on them becuz of their low amount of line capacity.
😂😂
good one buddy I preferred Diawa Bait casting reels Magforce I believe had the first magnetic braking system. Had them over 30 years and they still work like new, Tight lines, C-Ya
There’s just something about the sound of DC reels lol. I only own one currently but will be purchasing two more in the very near future.
Great video and way to go LoJo and AYO fishing 🎣 and filming , I have a shimano but nothing that fancy and it doesn’t sing 🎵!!!!
DC on the box stands for digital chip thats why that reel makes the sound it makes if anyone was wondering 👍👍👍
atta boy LOJO
The DC stands for Digital Control which is the breaks (and the noise)
Shimano uses the letters for their gear ratio. If there is no letters it is a 6:1, HG (high gear) is 7:1. XG (Extra High Gear) is 8:1
and the Antares A is the most expensive casting reel that Shimano makes for the US Market. If youre looking for spinning reels look into a Stella model..
Ive got a scorpion dc, love it. Effortless casting and super far. Dc is way easier to use if set up right.
Tighten the spool tension knob until the spool has no side to side play. Then you could start on A, which is auto. 1-5 are just more brakes applied. 5 being the tightest no way to backlash and 1 being for the pros who still use a thumb. But you should not have to use your thumb at all
DUDE THATS DOPE!! I should try this type of videos! Seems like they do good ✊🏼✊🏼
LoJo I seen a sling shot fishing set up on the wish app.. that would be an awesome wish video 💪💪💪🎣🎣🎣🎣
Ooooohhhh, I love that reel!!!! I can only dream of having something that expensive. Lojo, I do believe you're going to fall in love with that reel. I know I would. You should be throwing a Chatterbait on that bad boy!!! That's sweeeeeet!!!! 11# of drag is not bad. My Abu Garcia has 17# but it don't have a chip in it like that one does. That's the future of baitcasters!!! Low number drag like that may be a sweeter than you know. You need to take it to Lake Guntersville & really put it to the test. There's some line stretchers there. I agree with you, I wouldn't pay that much for that particular reel but I do like it alot. I read about it last year but I can't phathom the thought of owning one. Love the video.👊👊. Keep em coming.
That's the most amazing sound. Did u have or make a video for bigginers how to use different baits and how they work and use them
The drag is under rated and I’ve never had my drag go out, I’ve thrown 65 lb braid on my cursor dc with a frog and not had any issues what so ever. 11 lbs is plenty
A is for Auto mode. I use it most of the time but higher the number the more brakes you have but if you take the side plate off there's a another Knob you can turn for fluorocarbon.braids. or nylon mono
DC stands for digital control. Basically there’s a computer chip inside that controls the brakes to prevent backlash. I know as a man we tend to toss out the instructions right away but if you read your little booklet that came in the box, you’ll probably know exactly what the dial settings mean. Or ask Jon B.
Open the reel and choose your line type (there are 3 settings (Nylon,Fluorocarbon and braid)on the inside computer chip break). The A is your Auto mode, 1 for heavier stuff, 2 for medium sized baits, 3 for light baits and 4 for the really really light stuff.
When you dial in this badboy correctly, you can cast great distances with out any thumbing during the cast...just stop the bait, when it hits the water.
Best reel I ever fished ✌
Can I send you a rod spooling station? 😂 you need one in that truck of yours man.
The spoil in the truck bed thing is a great idea...dunno why I never thought of that
I’ve caught tons a 10-20lb salmon with those reels and never had drag issues , if you do want to upgrade the drag look up carbontex drag washers.
Set the line type on the inside then use the outside to adjust. A is for auto it allows it to set the brake on its own after a throw or two
I got the SLX DC and it makes the same awesome sound every cast
not as loud tho
oh trust me the metanium dc will scratch in 2 trips you will notice some nicks or scratches all of a sudden watch lol.
AnimeNfish I’ve been out with my curado dc plenty times and no scratches but I e never been so careful with any other reel lol
@@fof_fishing1468 curado dc doesent scratch easy like the metanium. search ebay for "metanium dc" and probably all of the preowned or "lightly used" ones have mass nicks everywhere not just on the top from laying the reel down. But to be honest i dont even care if my reels get scratched anymore lol im just glad that it works. i love shimano
Plenty of drag for bass fishing and it will help prevent braking off on a hook set.
Hey bro!!.. I gotta say I love the vids! 2 things...it’s cool that you were previously army infantry, and that it looks like you’re in AL. I was a combat medic in the army and I currently live near Fort Rucker. I hope I see you out and about some time. Tight lines brother!
That is the most awesome sound from a reel EVER. ( sounds like a reel with a supercharger). It'd be cool to see you fish with a big saltwater rod and reel on a pond or multi-species adventure. (can you catch bluegill on saltwater gear?) Most expensive are nice but, most of us have real jobs and budgets to stay within. Maybe a series on "best bassin' bang on a buck" (REALLY get into what makes rods, reels, and baits better than others and don't break the bank)
Jon b will disagree this is the most expensive reel 😂😂
and I agree with that
Lol
Theres antreas, exsence, cacutta, and the cheapest SLX dc
He bought that gold bait caster a while back that was $1000 lol
@@bugkilgore i think he got that from the JDM market tho, not on amazon
nah the drag doesent wear out over time it’s all good i have a metanium dc and metanium mgl and a ton of curados and they will last you a long time
You should do all salt water gear and bait for bass fishing. Good luck and I always love your videos
I haven't been here in a while because the winter lol but we're getting close to that time where I need to catch back up on my skills
Definitely want to see the deep sea bass fishing lol
Lojo, how about CENTERPIN fishing for bass? ;) haha
I taught my wife on the shimano curado dc needless to say she took over it! I rarely get to use it!!
LoJo spent the stimulus check on a new reel, probably like the rest of us 😂😂 this is awesome and that second hookset should have been in a photo shoot
The Shimano SLX dc hg 8:3.1 they are only $189 plus tax and it does just as good. The numbers on the braking are for adjusting when u have different lines. One number does mono, another does braid one does fluro. It’s in the paper work what all the numbers and the A is for.
Enjoyed the video and channel. Keep it up
DC means Digital Control. For brake. Not like usual magnetic and centrifugal brakes. Makes you cast with less backlash. Try cast without thumb. You'll feel better.
Salmon/steelhead fisherman land 30-40lb plus fish on reels with less drag. You need to work the fish and not put that much pressure on the line, that's how you pull/rip hooks and break knots & hooks.
I own about 25 reels all shimano and I've never had one issue with the drag. In fish 10 to 20 tournaments a year. They really are built to last. Keep up the good work bud.
Nice
A is for automatic and inside the side plate there is another selector for the type of line you are throwing.. so u can really dial it in.
I’m sure someone has already said it but, Metanium Digital Control eXtra high Gear which is the 8 ratio speed. High Gear would be the 7 ratio speed, and no extra letters would be the 6 ratio speed from what I’ve read.
One reason that reel is really expensive is, the frame is most likely made out of magnesium. Typically high end reels will sometimes have magnesium frames. They are lighter than reels with aluminum frames. What do you mean you are limited on what you can throw with braid? I use braid for pretty much everything! But than again, I'm not throwing heavier things on normal baitcasters, most of the time. I'm using BFS baitcasters. On those digital chip reels, the settings on them are for whatever type of line you are using. Mono,flouro,braid, ect. Just read the manual, and it should tell you which setting is for what. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to throw a ned rig with that combo. The spools on the metanium reels are a bit lighter than lower cost reels, plus you could use a heavier jig head for the ned rig. The ned rig isn't exactly that light either. The TRD + a jig head is somewhere between 5 and 7 grams. 3/16 oz is like around 5.1 grams. I can throw a TRD t-rigged with a small ewg, and no weight easily with a BFS setup. A plastic like that still has some bulk and weight to it, and add a lead head to it, I'd think it shouldn't be trouble with a normal baitcasting setup, especially a Metanium DC. I think you should try using a TRD as a topwater bait, with no weight!
So this is where the term "Sally" originated from ehh? Nice! Lol
You keep playing with them shimanos lews gonna get mad lmao
yo the DC means digitally controlled. from what ive heard the spool acts like a alternator that generates current for the microchip that automatically throttles the brake system like 1000 times a second. thats what ive heard. i have a curado DC and i love it.
love the Coors light in the bed of the truck
Dc means digital control and the xg means that it is a 7:2:1 and the buttons on the side means that it is a break 1 is for braid
