My favourite feature of this reel is hands down the loud digital singing sound it makes when you cast, to let all the other anglers around you know that you cant cast for sh@t. 🤣🤣
Shimano, please put this technology on big surf casting conventional reels. For example, a reel big enough to hold 300m of 65 lb braid. Magnets are great, but DC braking is next level technology. You've got something groundbreaking here.
As I get older, I have lost flexibility and strength. Having a dc reel has given me my casting back and made fishing a quality of life extender. Hope the inventor is a billionaire. Worth it.
All my reels are DC reels Except my large swimbait reels. I want to say sometimes you have something that make you happy that you living in this era, DC reels one of them for me.
I am amazed that people don't understand you never need to adjust the brake on a Curado DC reel. In fact, it will mess your reel up by changing the factory setting. If you do a You tube search for tackle warehouse and Curado DC overview, the Shimano rep will make this very clear. You also still need to lightly thumb the DC reel when casting.
hi, im very interest on DC reel and want to buy it soon. Shimano exsence dc xg will be my choise i heard rumour DC system is hard to cast 7 gram below lure, it that right? how many gram lure range is best for DC reel? thx
Affirmative, occasionally it can cast almost 5 grams below, but for optimizing the best result from the DC brake, it's definitely the best for use more than a half and ounce lure
I’m getting a dc reel for medium to light lures and I’ve only heard amazing things about it, I would recommend a spinning rod for lighter lures or just use lighter line
Both of my DC reels (2021 scorpion) and Metanium DC (bought in 2021) both stopped working. The chip no longer gets triggered during casts. Anyone know a solution to this. I just had my Metanium maintenance by Shimano and it only lasted one day.
@@bluepacman13 I’m not a sponsor of shimano but my two dc reels I have not seen any moisture inside and I rarely open the side plate while I’m out because it doesn’t have any internal adjustments like the standard shimano baitcasters
@@bluepacman13 had to say “not a sponsor” to imply I’m biased haha but I really like my dc reels dropped one in water and fished in the rain with it and everything’s still working fine with little maintenance
@@bullseye2583 Yes, it was me, and I've improved a lot so that on simple casts I don't backlash, but my point stands that these things are over-sold. It's quite easy to backlash them if you cast incorrectly.
I think the approach to this should be the same as using GPS directions. Learn to use a regular baitcaster first and then buy this for convenience to add to your arsenal. Approaching it the other way round you'll end up in Chicago when you meant to go to NY.
This didn't explain how the chip knows what rotational speed the spool "should" have. It seems to me you'd have to monitor outgoing line speed and match to that, but even there the chip would have to know how much line is on the reel. Why not make a reel with an electric eye that can "see" when line is lifting from the rest of the line on the spool and brake accordingly? How does a human know if a reel is backlashing? They look!

I won't lie, that sound is at least part of the reason I want this reel lol
this is the future for fishing...thanks shimano
This is why shimano is number 1️⃣ and will always be

what do u use for the large swim/glides?
@@ThisNameWasTooLon I use TranX 300(I have three Combos). I'm going to buy a TranX400 soon.
My two loves: generators and fishing

I know I’m late to the party but I have the Antares dc and it works amazing. I can even throw Ned rigs it is that good.
Do the coils act as both the generator and brake?

Me too sir.. already stopped on my slx dc xt yesterday
Can this reel be used for SW fishing?
Hi Juan, whether it is suitable for SW fishing depends on which DC reel you have.
How long does the computer chip last?
Did you ever find an answer for this? I'm interested as well.
When you cast the sound you hear is it recharging itself at the same time making corrections to the spool. I had the same question for a while
@@LARPMachine Yep, what about internal condensation? Or moisture from repeated outside exposure?

i buy scorpion dc 2 week ago, now my break no function and no sound zing~~~ why?
how price ????
Hi Ivan, Digital Control is a technology and not to a particular reel. For exact price and specs, please contact your local authorized Shimano dealer.
😓😓😓😓😓
Quá đỉnh . Mình củng tậu 1 em metanium DC .
The techology, as it stands now, is not adequate. I backlash every time I use my Metanium DC, just not as often as with a non-DC reel.
Ever thought that you could be the problem and not the reel?

@@robertbrandywine it’s easy to backlash any baitcaster if casted incorrectly
Pretty awesome. But I admit it almost takes the skill out of it.
