I like my dhsv w/ the stock shimano washers in.




Shimano's Dartainium drag washer material is used on the Curado


It stopped a smoking hot mid-teens summerrun in his tracks for me a few months ago. If my 10 lb. UG leader would have held up as I reefed it out under that logjam I'd have a new personal best.

Out of all my baitcasters I find myself reaching for this one the most & its up against an older 200 SF, the Curado E, a Revo Inshore & a Daiwa Viento & some vintage 250/350 BMP's

You can go super-carbon if you want, I just don't see where a man would need it.
