The Scorpion is one of 4 rigs that made the cut for my boat. My other 3 are the 2 lews and a Johnny Morris Signature series baitcaster.

Hey thanks for your vids, and telling the site to get scorpion , but all the left handed reels outta stock. So I ordered it off Amazon from Japan store. It was much cheaper to than just getting it straight from Amazon but I guess it take much longer to get here tho lol. One thing for sure I be ready next spring & summer 😊 tight lines & God continue to bless you...

I’ll be getting one this Black Friday along with a 6’10 Halo black widow MH rod😎. Ill be Bass fishing in Baja California lakes. No Bass limits baby.

I have scorpion dc, And I had a daiwa steez sv tw and the shimano I think cast farther, is possible that this reel beat high ends reels of other brands?? Great video👏

I got a Scorpion DC on your say so, and I'm SO glad I did. One and only thing I don't like: there's much more (sideways, not turning-wise) play in the handle and knobs than I'm used to, and it's out of place on such a beautiful and pricey reel. Please tell me how to get rid of it and remove the X-axis wiggle. Shims? Washers? Witch doctor?

Iove my scorpion DC it's an absolute pleasure to fish

Brother, i have watched all your dc videos and love them all. I am just a little unsure which one to buy between the Curado 150 dc and the Scorpion dc. I also would like to know if you would rather advise a mgl spool with or without dc brakes.

I use mono but keep my setting on the f setting and haven’t had a problem with backlashes.

I have 2 of these reels and 2 of scorpion 70 and 1 curado 70. The 70 series to me is pretty much backlash free on 10lb or 12 lb floro. And bomb casts for reels that could run out of line. I mostly use them for jerk baits in 7.3 ratio but one scorpion 70 is 6.3 so small square bills hope this helps Not sure if I will sell my DC reels but personally think they over rated...must be for super beginners

Bought a Scorpion 71 and was able to meet my goal. I also have a SLX 71 DC that cast even better with braid but was really bad with fluorocarbon, never tried the Scorpion with braid so don't know how they would compare. I still like my DC reels, pretty much the same thoughts as automatic vs manual vehichle transmissions. In most cases I don't think the performance advantage of a non-DC reels is so significant it outweights the ease of use of a DC reel. If the wind is constantly changing, DC is a definite advantage. I'm used to having to adjust reels but my wife is newer to fishing and she doesn't understand why you would get something that requires manual adjustment vs something that does it automatically.
