if you need a reel with training wheels then this is the one for you, if you actually know how to fish dont spend the xtra$$ and just get the curado k

Really cool how it prevents backlash, it's been a fun reel to use and the quality is the same as all other Shimano reels!!

This reel is simply amazing! Finally got to use it for the first time a few weeks ago, and I was really impressed. Spooled it with 12lb fluorocarbon and tied on a 1/2oz. jig. Once I finally got it dialed in to my settings, everything from hard casts against the wind, to skipping docks, I had no issues with backlash at all. Very impressed with the casting distance I was getting and that DC sound!! It ’s like music to my ears. Definitely a must own. If you 're on the edge of buying this, just go and do it because you wo n't regret it. I now own two.

This reel is great. You need to read the paperwork that comes with it. It explains how it has to be set up in order for it to work as it should. For instance as the guy who posted a 2 star said he had the brake setting at 4 and the tension set to a slow fall. Is not how it should be set up. The directions state tension should be set looser than you would a non dc reel, to allow the dc to work correctly. You also need to use the correct brake setting for the type of line you are using. Granted you can cast without setting it up correctly it the dc wont function right. My honest opinion as someone who is intermediate/ newer to baitcasting( 2yrs) this reel is great for the cost and does what its supposed to do. However if your having issue it's probably user error and you should read the paperwork and try again. Then if you have issues it could be the reel. I 'm going to buy another one or I might buy the metanium dc. I love the sound too

I bought it last night, i got it spool with 15 pound pline flouro, set the tension knob were the lure falls slow big key to prevent backlash cast it with 12 mph wind towards my face for 3 hours not one single backlash. Do not listen to the manual on how to set the tension knob. Smooth retrieve compare to the regular slx you guys will notice that.

This is a great real for your medium heavy swim baits. I have it pulled up with £20 fluorocarbon and it is a super smooth cast.. I wouldn ’ t expect anything less from Shimano. The breaking system could be easier to dial on the water, but once you have it set you ’ re good to go.. if you ’ re tossing anything from a 2 to 6 or even 8 ounce swim bait I would highly recommend this reel.

Abu Garcia has released two of these “ budget ” combos in recent years, bearing the same name but the combos are much different. This current model sports a digital camo look, with a sleek flat black reel and solid rod. If you ’ re a fan of their Vengeance combo, this one will be a favorite as it ’s the same reel design reskinned for the Jordan Lee branding. It ’s not as low profile as the original Joran Lee combo was but it ’s still a solid workhorse for the money.

I was on the fence and then it went on sale. Great purchase at a great price.

Frequently Asked Questions For Dual Brake Baitcasting Reel

Dual brake baitcasting reels offer enhanced control and precision when casting, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced anglers. The combination of magnetic and centrifugal braking systems allows for better adjustment to various fishing conditions, reducing the risk of backlash. This versatility helps in achieving longer and more accurate casts.

Dual brake baitcasting reels are versatile and can be used for various fishing styles, including freshwater and saltwater fishing. They are particularly effective for techniques that require precise casting, such as flipping, pitching, and topwater fishing. Their ability to handle heavier lines and lures also makes them suitable for targeting larger species.

The braking system in a dual brake baitcasting reel combines two different mechanisms: centrifugal and magnetic brakes. The centrifugal brakes engage during the cast to slow down the spool's rotation, while the magnetic brakes provide additional control to fine-tune the casting distance and prevent backlash. This dual approach allows for greater adaptability to different fishing scenarios.

When selecting a dual brake baitcasting reel, consider factors such as gear ratio, line capacity, and overall weight. It's also important to evaluate the braking system's adjustability, as this will affect your casting performance. Additionally, look for features like ergonomic handles and durable materials that enhance comfort and longevity during use.

Yes, dual brake baitcasting reels can be suitable for beginners due to their adjustable braking systems that help prevent backlash. The ease of fine-tuning the brakes allows new anglers to gain confidence in their casting skills without the frustration of frequent tangles. However, it is still beneficial for beginners to practice and familiarize themselves with the mechanics of baitcasting.
