Second Shimano reel (Tranx 150). I love the DC. I have it rigged up for BFS with 15 LB Daiwa J-Braid. \n\nVery smooth casting. After dialing in, no backlashes, and I am throwing weightless flukes, and baits that are in the 1/8th up to 1/2 ounce range. Casts surprisingly far on a 6’10” ML rod. \n\nThe DC system does make a sound when you cast. But no problem (when I cast first time, other angler in the boat usually says “what the heck”). \n\nI was actually looking on here for the specific Shimano BFS reel, but looking at the specs, I am thinking this would suffice (I believe the BFS reel has a shallower spool, so less line, which I presume would make for a longer cast). \n\nSo I guess my only question is, what would I gain by having the BFS reel over the DC 150.","textLength":866,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":10,"code":"VAL04","label":null,"value":4},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":16,"code":"DUR05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":21,"code":"QUAL5","label":null,"value":5}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Mack8591","firstName":"Kevin","lastName":"Lackner","emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2025-07-24T11:13:18-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-07-24T08:34:20-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"22255-CUDC150","title":"Shimano Curado DC 150 Baitcast Reel","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/22255-CUDC150","category":"fishing-baitcast-reels","reviewCount":1,"ratingCount":1,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":1},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]}],"offset":0,"limit":10,"total":1}"Full Description:\nThe Shimano Curado DC Baitcast Reel is built with durability, dependability, and versatility in mind. The Shimano Curado DC uses a unique Digital Control braking system that utilizes a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second, which allows the braking system to prevent backlash and maximize distance with the perfect amount of brake. With 6+1 shielded stainless steel anti-rust ball bearings, the Shimano Curado DC is super smooth and durable for long-lasting use, while the Hagane body offers incredible rigidity for more cranking power. \n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Monitored spool speed prevents backlash and maximizes distance\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cross Carbon dray for smooth and dependable performance\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>S-ARB shielded stainless steel anti-rust bearings\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Less thumbing and trouble-free casting\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Microcomputer to monitor spool speed \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>CI4+ carbon alloy construction\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Digital Control braking system\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rigid Hagane body\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Microcomputer to monitor spool speed\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Max Drag: 11 lb.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bearings: 6+1\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n"
