    Curado 150 MGL or SLX DC 150 for jerkbaits

    I currently use a SLX XT 150 for jerkbaits. Was considering a new reel for myself.

    Of the 2 (Curado MGL or SLX SLX DC) which do you choose for that technique.

    Typically throwing these on 12# flouro.

    Either or, both are solid platforms. Dan

    Toss in another $50 or $60 and you can get a Curado 150 DC. I toss jerkbaits on mine, works just fine. Last couple of days I have been tossing an Evergreen SB 125 with my Curado DC, I can throw that thing a mile with that reel. You've got 4 setting for the DC control, mono, flouro, braid, and long cast. Once you get things set, you are good to go. Only negative is the DC "whine" when you cast. It bothers some people.
