Re: Which DC reel has the best "whine"

The whine is the whine of a DC reel and would not let someone else's whining get in the way of owning one. Owning a fair amount of Conquest DC's, Calais DC7's and Antares DC's I can only speak for them. So since you are going Topwater do yourself a favor and get the 16 Antares DC HG and enjoy a whol...

Re: 2016 Shimano Baitcasting Reels

Actually the screw with the slot and knurled edge(under DC) adjusts the tension on the spool. The spool does have some side play to it right out of the factory. To get distance out of this reel it is all about the "empty run period" which there are no brakes applied as the spool will reach speeds of...

Re: 15 Metanium DC

I have never seen one that cheap. If you find one, please let me know. Like you I got a '13 Met, fell in love, and now find myself wondering what a Met DC is like. I've seen a used one for $350 on another forum a few weeks ago, but will let you know if I find a sale. The DC system sounds sick, real...
