- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2023
- In this video, I go through the casting set ups of the new Shimano Curado M 200HG reel. I paired it with a Conquest 903C MBR rod, spooled it with 225 feet of 65lb Power Pro braid and was throwing a Jackall Gavacho frog that weighs in at 2/3 of an ounce.
Cast 1 - All brakes on, SVS dial at 4
Cast 2 - 1 Brake Off, 3 Brakes On, SVS at 4
Cast 3 - 2 Brakes Off, 2 Brakes On, SVS at 4
Cast 4 - 3 Brakes Off, 1 Brake On, SVS at 4
Cast 4 - 3 Brakes Off, 1 Brake On, SVS at 3
Cast 4 - 3 Brakes Off, 1 Brake On, SVS at 2
Cast 4 - 3 Brakes Off, 1 Brake On, SVS at 1

thanks for the lesson man, i just got mine 3 weeks ago now i know just about how to dial it in. Although i am a newbie only been fishing for a year or so and i am scared to back off the breaks in fear of the ultimate backlash lol lol. great video brother.
Glad I could help!
You know JP I never knew how well built these shimino reels are. Thanks so much for this great information about these reels. Years and yrs ago you were not around doing these informative videos. JP I'm going to be a Shimano fisherman now thanks bro I really enjoy your videos. Can't believe all the stuff they give you in the curodo reels. Awesome just awesome.
This is the reel I use for my topwater 40lɓ braid and a vixen or spook schooling fish can't get out of reach... Got a couple more coming to replace a couple of my Lews BB1 pros for cranking. These really are the best casting reels you can buy for the money in my opinion.
JP, we’ve definitely been there with trees. You did well getting it out that many times before having to make the walk! Very nice casting area. Thanks for going over the reel will share!
Casting it into the next county, love it!!
Enjoyed your video
Hey JP I never knew Shimano reels could cast that far that's insane 198 ft that reel can outcast my lews reels I think I'm seriously going to be switching to schimino and yes I'm subscribed bud. But what a beautiful casting reel anyway God bless you and your family. Ps JP that is a extremely impressive reel the only reel I've ever seen do that was the orange reel that 13 fishing had yrs ago it had no bearings but the Shimano reels have bearings awesome outstanding casting distance. Thanks for the video it makes me want to switch over to shimino reels.
Just ordered one on Boxing Day sale for 175$! 🤙🤙 stoked!
Hope you enjoy it!
Hey. Very nice video and helpful.I like Your casting technique. I just have question are You using back up line under braid? Which size braid for curado dc 151 will be best?,sitting on westin w3 10-30gr texas/carolina.have one but no so happy with casting distance .Its spolled 25lbs Momoi lure soul and half on the spool is back up line.I will really appreciate advice. The best regards
Don’t use a backing. Just tie an arbor knot to the spool with braid and place a small piece of tape over the knot, I got the spool and reel on the line. The tape will stop the slipping. Depending on the cover you are fishing you can fish from 30-65lb braid on the 151 but 65 can be casted all the way to the end if you’re proficient with the reel.
does the curado m outcast the dc? i’m between the 2 and don’t know which one to buy
Is this your longest casting bass baitcaster? How would it compare to curado dc regarding casting distance?
I think the MGL Spool 3 is a better distance casting reel than DC. DC offers more control in specific instances with the micro computer
Do you think it can handle 3/8 to 1/2 oz lures im going be using it for manly crank baits/ squarebills ? Or should I just get a 150MGL
If you want casting distance / line capacity for bigger cranks or heavier line I would stick with the 200M but the 150 MGL is lighter and pretty much as efficient at casting and is an amazing reel that I use in a lot of circumstances as well
Hey bro do you play cod ? I think we used to play a lot
Hey man, i bought a curado m 201hg, ive only had one problem. it will only let me open and close the side of the reel if my tension nob is very loose. If it is tight, there is resistance on the switch and does not let me freely turn it. is this regular? when it is loose the switch opens and closes smoothly. some advice would be great thanks @JP DeRose
That is normal because when you tighten the spool the sooner knob, it essentially pushes the spool shaft out towards the side plate.

Hey JP, new subscriber and love what i've seen so far in last few videos 👍
I do have a Shimano question, just based on what you may or may not know, just looking for your best opinion. Is there value in getting a DC reel, Curado DC is what i'm looking at. At this point i'm concerned having the addition of DC technology and losing the standard feel of non-DC casting. We all do some sort of thumbing of spool when we cast. I am thinking that having a DC reel will involve less thumb needed, but that really changes the whole feel of natural casting.
I'm far from an expert or seasoned baitcaster user. I'm very new and still working on getting great distance. I'm sure DC would help me at this stage BUT I'm a buy once, cry once kind of guy, I don't plan on upgrading any equipment once i buy, any time in future.
Thanks for the sub! Regarding DC reels, the nice thing about them is that you can control the amount of assistance the microcomputer gives you just by turning the dial. Number 4 offers the most assistance, Number 1 the least so you can still have the feel of a normal, non DC reel if you want, or if you want to have more control in tougher situations like casting into the wind, it’s right at your fingertips. DC reels don’t cast further, in fact I thing MGL spool 3 equipped Shimano’s offer the most distance but only to a trained thumb. The DC reels are a great equalizer and honestly I don’t adjust anything in my casting when I switch back and forth.
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors Thanks so much for the reply. This helps greatly.
If shimano would’ve made it smaller and lighter than the curado k this would’ve been selling like hot cakes.
It’s actually doing very well in our areas.
Can you show on Flourocarbon??
If we get some time we will try for sure. Need to get some more reels in though. Really don’t want to throw away fresh braid. 😂
I got an SLX with their new silent tune technology. Lost sensitivity on my reel handle :/
What rod you use? Reel shouldn't have anything to do with sensitivity 😅
@@tims_always_fishing7117 sIlent tune is actually just a rubber o-ring in between the spool and bearing. It most definitely absorbs shock and reduces sensitivity.
@RobFishYT I know what silent tune is, I'm asking why you rely on a reel handle for sensitivity? I rely on my rod for feeling the bottom.
@@tims_always_fishing7117 I use one hand to feel the rod and the other to feel the knob on my reel. Why don't you use both?
I put gomexus handles on my reels for power, I don't normally throw a jig or texas rig, my expride or poison adrena is sensitive enough to not rely on the reel. I've never heard anyone talk about feeling the bite from a reel handle.
What’s the gear ratio
Available in 6.2:1, 7.4:1 and 8.5:1
Bulkier and just as heavy as the Curado K. Disappointed.
