Personally haven't. Following the used market, i almost never see anybody sell a DC reel with the braking system having issues either. Have any of you gotten any issues with the DC module?

Nope. None what so ever. Just an occasional cleaning by cadman the rest of the time fish.

I have had at least 4 different Shimano DC reels models & never experienced any problems with them.

Never have had an issue with a Shimano DC reel and have been using them since they first came out in both the round and low profile. List of current inventory round (1) Calcutta 100 DC , (3) Calcutta 200 DC first generation , (1) Conquest 100 DC , (3) Conquest 50DC , (1) 20 Conquest 100 DC. Low Profile (1) Calais DC 7 first generation , (2) 16 Antares DC, (2) 21 Antares DC. Looking forward to adding the 26 Conquest DC by the end of the month.

None whatsoever. Except my friend hooking my combo and casting it into a lake like a trebuchet. Sinks fast enough.

I own three DC reels:

• SLX DC 150

• Curado DC 150

• Metanium DC 70

The Metanium is a keeper. It's better than just a keeper. I consider an excellent reel and plan to use it happily for many years. I currently have 10 lbs Sunline Sniper FC on it and I am shocked at how well it does with it on my Megabass P5 Destroyer Oneten Stick. I took a chance on the newest generation of DC technology and it's a stark difference from my experience with either of my other two DC reels.

The build quality of the SLX DC and Curado 150 DC is fine. I haven't had "problems" per se, but they just don't get the casting distance I want.
