I have the Shimano Curado DC and I love it. I kicked mine off the boat into the lake the first day I took it out and only hung on by the tip of the pole. I picked it up out of the water and casted and it did just as well as before it got wet.

The hole is there for spooling , you stick the line in the hole to bring it around after quarter turn so you don’t have to try fishing it around the spool and bring it back to the top for tying.

THE REEL TEST Because it doesn’t really matter where it is , you’ll tie the knot in the middle anyway....like an mgl spool , you can use which ever hole you want..in this case it’s not an mgl spool so shimano provided you with one hole to achieve the same , it’s probably why it’s not in the manual since it’s common knowledge among baitcasting fisherman .

My theory is that the hole was placed there to help the DC system controlling spool rpm. Every time the hole pass over a magnet, it generates a small disturbance that can be detected. And it was placed somehow away from the the coils so that it does not affect its performance.

Robert Ramirez the xg model does come with a longer handle. I think it's a 105mm vs the lower gear ratios which have a 90 mm handle. I own the different gear ratios and the xg definitely has a longer handle, which I love and prefer to the standard 90 mm.

You kids need to realize, you are talking about a $250 reel vs a $420 and $500 reel. Do you honestly think Shimano is going to make one of their cheaper reels better than their more expensive reels? Or any company for that matter. I havent had a chance to cast the Curado DC yet because of family commitments all weekend but I dont expect it to be better than either Metaniums once I do get to cast it. Id be happy for it to get close though.
@grayssoncarl5020

I understand that. I asked because the Curado DC has a new DC system which might have been improved over the DC system of the Metanium/Scorpion DC. I want to get myself a DC reel and am not sure if i should try to get my hand on a used Metanium DC or wait for the Curado DC.

most likely, that hole on the spool is where you stick the tagend of your line and start to spool it, vs tying around the spool like most people do. i live in japan, and have seen a lot of anglers here use that technique to spool their reels.they dont like to use tape on the spool for fear of getting it even slightly unbalanced. seems a little anal to me, but whatever floats your boat. with that said, i have also seen a lot of anglers here launch their overpriced DRT/PHATLAB lures along with all of their line when they become complacent on a cast. i dont know why they prefer that method of spooling over a standard knot, but have seen it quite a few times here.

no clue. maybe to keep the balance correct with the heavier magnets on the left side of the spool that sits inside the micro computer. maybe the right side is heavier with the longer shaft than the magnet side is. i really dont know. i have seen them placed all over different spots on reels over here. thats the best reason i can come up with. my scorpion DC is a smooth solid spool so who knows. i gave up trying to get inside the mind of the engineers over here. it will drive you insane trying to figure out why they do what they do.

My question is would it make more sense to pay another $10 and get the Scorpion DC from Japan instead which has the more advanced I-DC5 system as opposed to the I-DC4 chip in the Curado DC? May be that is the reason why the Curado DC is priced cheaper in Asia at around US$183 a pop. Having said that, I don't really know how much better the I-DC5 is on the water which I guess is where your next comparison test comes in handy. However, if I were to guess, I doubt the difference in performance would be night and day. So, it could be a Curado DC with the Asian price tag is already good enough for me.
