Comments: I just bought the 201xg 8:5:1 I prefer a extremely fast bearing system, I have never owned a DC series reel However I am pumped! I paired it with the Shimano Clarus 7'2 medium Heavy Fast action (Budget Rod) will be replaced at a later date. I personally think if there is ever a reel that I could take on all waters since I live in SWFL home of peacock bass and many more, this is it I can't imagine how happy I will be. THIS REEL IS COMPLIMETLY SEALED wich is necessary for fresh and saltwater. Don't be afraid to put this reel on some SaltLife water. Side Note I have been using biatcasters for the past 7 years started on a vintage casting reel. while I think any single person with the cash should buy this, it's versatile and quite the tank of a reel from what I have heard and seen. Please spend the money it's worth it. Also don't care about the noise that the DC reels make buy them because they are one of the best brands really pushing the limit. I will not be dissatisfied nor disappointed with this purchase. PSA I will write another review when I catch my first Snook and Peacock bass on this Reel!

Comments: I bought the 200DC here just to try it out. I already have a lot of the 150 DC and had to try the Curado. Wow, what a great reel. Smooth, great casting. I wanted a 6.4 ratio but the 7.4 is great now that I am us to it. The wide spool allows me to thumb it very easy and I have been spooling up 12 pound Floro to about 150 yards. Because I have 150 yards on the reel I can use for almost any type of bass fishing.

Comments: First bait casing reel I've owned and can say without a doubt that this reel is worth every penny and more! From its ability to cast and simplicity to use, this reel can make an amateur weekend angler like myself look like a competent fisherman. My buddy has the 150 and is jealous at how far I can cast without getting to my backing.
