The Curado DC casting reel is Shimano's most advanced Curado ever produced. Built on the platform that has made the Curado name synonymous with durability and versatility, the Curado DC adds Shimano's NEW Digital Control Braking system. The DC Braking system uses a completely sealed microcomputer that analyzes the spool speed 1,000 times per second and automatically applies the precise braking to achieve maximum casting distance while preventing backlash. No matter the wind conditions, weather, or lure weight, 4 easy adjustments on the side plate allow the angler to quickly and definitively "set and forget" the brakes and let the reel do the work.
Shimano Technology Found In Curado DC Reels :
Shimano Technology Found In Curado DC Reels :
- Cross Carbon Drag - Allows for a wider range of drag settings, enhanced drag washer durability, and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
- Hagane Body - A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to it’s stiffness and impact resistance. The result? An angler’s actions are more efficiently transformed into cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.
- I-DC4 Braking - Intelligent Digital Control braking features an easy to use 4 setting external dial that can be easily adjusted on the water to provide optimal braking as conditions and lures change.
- Micro Module Gear - State-of-the-art gear design makes use of smaller gear teeth and more of them, which results in a more efficient gear train and much smoother retrieve.
- S A-RB Bearings - These bearings undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano’s A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the possibility of salt, dirt, or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearing’s rotation.
- X-Ship - By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear remains in precise alignment with the drive gear and stays in the same position under even the heaviest of loads. This eliminates friction between the spool shaft and gear which translates to better casting performance and increased gear durability.

Awesomen
By far, my favorite reel. It is smooth, and easy to cast far and accurately, simple to use, and less tiring on my body after a day or chasing bass. The only downside is the price. But, if I divide its price by the number of casts per day, it is a bargain because of how much it enhances my fishing experience.

Great Reel
Great reel. Get the spool tension set right, and you can cast this thing a mile with no backlash. You do have to thumb the spool before the lure hits the water.
ProsEasy to cast with few backlashes.
ConsNone

Shimano Curado DC HG
My first Shimano casting reel and I understand the hype. This reel is amazingly smooth. Like nothing else I've tried at this price-point. It does take some adjustment and fine tuning to get the maximum casting distance w/out backlash but once dialed-in, it's an absolute pleasure to cast.

Very smooth
I purchased the xg model and it's very smooth. No issues and even though I don't really utilize the DC braking system, whenever my girlfriend wants to use a baitcaster this is what I let her use. No backlash for her means more fishing for me.
