Started with an slx dc, loved it so much I ordered the 2023 Antares DC MD XG for big swim baits. The biggest problem with DC reels is not having more 😂 I will say my Curado 71 mgl is dope af even if it’s not a dc reel. Anything Shimano will be high quality regardless if it’s a dc or not🤘🏼
Im on 3 all the time. My point is that even on 3, the DC doesn’t seem to prevent a backlash. I backlash far less on my Tranx 200 then I do on my curado DC. I think that says something…
@@joebobsbass it does for me at 3. I even use 1 or 2 for certain things, but you have to thumb it. Just because its a DC doesn't mean you throw thumb control out the window. Im guessing your tension knob is a bit too loose if youre backlashing on 3.
One thing that can't be discounted: the benefit of DC to people learning to use a bait casting reel. I've owned DC reels since they came out...I like them a lot...
@@FurtherNorth absolutely, however I think it kind of takes the “learning” out of it. Practice makes perfect. They absolutely have their time and place, but I think the DC aspect is a bit misleading with how it’s advertised!
@@joebobsbass as you get better, you turn the DC functions down... ...and they're still there when you want them, like all the windy days we've had here this season.

I run my slx at 2 never any issues unless I try to absolutely send the bait across the lake then I might get a quick bird nest.

4 is skipping/wind mode bro. Use 2 or 3 for regular use.

If you are good/decent with a conventional Reel not so much. I have one and it’s very smooth. Casting is good but not MAGICAL.
@@tphvictims5101 would fully agree. It does still cast a mile!
