With the Scorpion DC is there any way to buy a different type of tension knob because I HATE red and I didn't win the Calais :c or can you take a tension knob off another shimano reel and it will fit the scorpion DC ?
buenas tengo muchas dudas para comprarme un shimano estoy entre el curado 301 e o el dc como tal fvez capas tengo la oportunidad de comprar el antares afvuera pero lo que veo es q mientras mejor mas caro le entra menos linea al carrete que me recomendas ?
How for would someone have to be casting to NEED the 200 yard line capacity? I'm a bass angler and wondering how much line is really necessary. I look foward to your reply. Thanks.
I find the big line capacity helps for larger lines when you are throwing big lures. I casted all the 15lb mono off of my Calais DC throwing a 1oz metal jig and it has 200 size capacity
Wow. What a fast reply! Thanks. I don't want to bug you with too many questions b/c I'm a novice angler so let me just say this. I'm getting so MUCH great insight from all your videos! I'm using your channel to figure out which reels I should spend my $$ on. And the more I price compare the JDM market looks like I can save 10-20% vs. retail here in Canada! Keep posting. I'll share your vids with my whatsapp group! I would LOVE to see you test Boca Bearings vs. Chinese ABEC7 do see if the price diff. is worth it! Much luv from the 416!!!
Subjective... I agree for majority of the DC reels, but I'll try to find a DC reel model where it is not. If PE mode has the best distance, Shimano by default assume the PE line should cast longest.
Look up that video about 2016 Antares DC one more time (NEW 4×8 DC BRAKE) , there you'll see the line modes go in that order FL-P-NM-X, NM is next to X (longest distance), and it most likely means, what NM mode has lesser brakes vs P, and FL obviously has strongest brakes.
What weight are you throwing? I have a feeling the Scorpion DC only wins out because you are throwing very light lures whereby the DC is doing a better job than the Curado brakes. I think if you throw something heavier like 1 1/2oz, the outcome could be different.
For now I own mgl , old antares dc and new excence dc... all great caster... when I will have new antares dc I will do a comparison to those and let you know
No, I only have these 3 DCs show in the vid. I know they did the same spool narrowing trick on the new Exsence though as well. It wouldnt surprise me if it did best the Antares
Ive ordered several reels from Japan Lure Shop, if the shop takes Paypal as a payment method you should be good to go. I think Ebay gives you protection against fraud if you go that route
I feel like all around mode is a waste and setting one is sketchy. I keep mine on 2. Floro setting. Then I adjust tension for wind. It’s a dream. I love my scorpion. My metanium DC gives me the longest cast out of any reel I have.
Always enjoy your videos. Wondering if you had the upgraded bearings in the Curado? I think that would put it a little closer to the DC. Still not beating it but gaining about another 10 feet. On Tactical Bassin's site I saw they got an advancement of the Curado K and fished it. Gave good reviews. Still wouldn't put it in a higher end category but better performance.
Yes I dont like flat black but I like black with gloss clear. I honestly thought about getting one and buffing it to chrome and clear.. haha The brakes alone with the new gears should make it better though.
If they added a bearing to the main shaft like the did the Chronarch and Metanium MGL it should be butter with the MM gears. Ill wait to get mine in hand before I make a final judgement on looks :)
I upgraded the spool bearings on most of my reels, nothing fancy, mostly the major 4 brands. And free spool spin wise, Shimano reels have most impressive spinning time after bearing upgrades. I think the S3D Stable Spool really helps. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean they cast the furthest. Shimano is really frugal with bearings, which I guess is for marketing purposes. But throw in a few cheap bearings on the handle knobs and worm gear, you got a much smoother retrieve.
hard to call, im going to do an all DC lipless crankbait battle soon including the scorpion. The K has already done that test and is the top caster so far in it.
I need your help again mi amigo , so ive been fishing with a 13 Fishing Concept C for a while now almost a year now, and It’s been slowly deteriorating , went out with it today and it’s loud on the retrieve and can feel the gears , not sure if it’s just because I’ve fished it hard and haven’t cleaned it or what but I was considering returning it and buying the scorpion instead , what do you think ?

Hedgehog studios may have an aftermarket one or one from a curado or citica i may fit
THE REEL TEST Ok I'll look them up but that's what I was hoping that one from a curado or some other reel would fit as well :) Thanks
What rod are you using?

Would you do a Scorpion DC vs Casitas MGL ? Looking to get one of those. Thanks. I enjoy watching all your videos.
Scorpion DC
How do you think the scorpion would handle smaller drop shots or light baits?

Great video man!!! Enjoy all of you videos but why did u set the scorpion dc breaks to PE line in u were using 10lb mono?
PE mode gives the least amount of braking from my experience no matter what line you are using
THE REEL TEST what is the tightest tension setting
Flouro mode gives the strongest brake profile
THE REEL TEST would you say this or the Aldebran would cast further?
Ill be testing the Aldebaran soon
Scorpion D.C. Vs curado k
Hm, So is it more worth to buy a new 2017 Scorpion DC or a 2016 Antares DC?
do you want to spend $250 or $550?
I don't mind spending 550, But is it worth it ;)
I cant answer that for you but I can tell you this, these high end shimanos like Antares and Conquests are built to last and perform for decades.
Hey I am looking to get new line. What kind are you using?
watch this video and you will find your answer :) ruclips.net/video/s5nWLakHiB0/видео.html
When you tested a Scorpion DC, why did you select a PE mode, if you been using a mono nylon line?
Easy answer.. PE mode gives the best distance no matter what line you use lol
Subjective... I agree for majority of the DC reels, but I'll try to find a DC reel model where it is not. If PE mode has the best distance, Shimano by default assume the PE line should cast longest.
I think PE mode gives the least braking because braid doesnt have memory. Mono mode seems close but PE mode beats it out by a few feet in my tests.
Look up that video about 2016 Antares DC one more time (NEW 4×8 DC BRAKE) , there you'll see the line modes go in that order FL-P-NM-X, NM is next to X (longest distance), and it most likely means, what NM mode has lesser brakes vs P, and FL obviously has strongest brakes.
And 2017 Exsence DC has F-N-P-XP order, here braid mode P is next to longest distance mode XP.
What JDM website would u recommend for purchasing this scorpion? I have them priced out on ebay for 265$. Whould u buy it off ebay or jdm website? Thx
check digitaka
Scorpion dc vs tatula??? Did you end up making the video? I dont see it
sadly no, but i have a plan :)
Whats with all the rod and reel names in your description???
RIGGEDfishing to get views
Can you do a spinning vs baitcaster video, if possible in braided line, because mono handicapping spinning much more than baitcaster
What weight are you throwing? I have a feeling the Scorpion DC only wins out because you are throwing very light lures whereby the DC is doing a better job than the Curado brakes. I think if you throw something heavier like 1 1/2oz, the outcome could be different.
1/4 oz plug.
I think you should make a video showing how to adjust the mode buttons, A, 4,... or 1, each reel before showing the cast.
I show that in this video ruclips.net/video/JfHEiI3uoAE/видео.html
Awesome👍👍.. you make awesome reel videos.. i just got the 2017 scorpion 100hg dc
thats a special reel.. enjoy!
What Kind of rod are you using and what's the rating of it?
6'6 M/XF
Man i would love to see the comparison between curado I vs abu promax3
Well scorpion outcast curando .... but scorpion dc vs metanium dc or vs antares dc 2016???😁👍👍
Send me both Metanium DC and Antares DC and I will find out for you.... but Im keeping them when Im finished lol
THE REEL TEST for me metanium dc will be almost identical to scorpion.. antares dc will outcast it I imagine... great videos 😁
For now I own mgl , old antares dc and new excence dc... all great caster... when I will have new antares dc I will do a comparison to those and let you know
Do you have the newest 2017 Exsence DC? How do you like it ? That reel suppose to outcast Antares DC if you use a PE line.
No, I only have these 3 DCs show in the vid. I know they did the same spool narrowing trick on the new Exsence though as well. It wouldnt surprise me if it did best the Antares
Where did you buy your scorpion D.C. From
japanlureshop
where can I order one of the scorpion dc hg reels?
japan tackle, japanlureshop, ebay, lots of places
THE REEL TEST how will I be sure that I won't get scammed
Ive ordered several reels from Japan Lure Shop, if the shop takes Paypal as a payment method you should be good to go. I think Ebay gives you protection against fraud if you go that route
THE REEL TEST awesome thank you sir! and great job on your videos of shimano reels. they helped me out
Thanks and good luck with your purchase
What's the weight of the casting plug
watch the video again
you have to try the Aldebaran BFS 2016 is an amazing reel
No, but Ive wanted one, but now the Conquest BFS came out and I want one of those instead lol
Love this channel. Love my scorpion. Love my metanium dc
What weight of lure gram?
7
I feel like all around mode is a waste and setting one is sketchy. I keep mine on 2. Floro setting. Then I adjust tension for wind. It’s a dream. I love my scorpion. My metanium DC gives me the longest cast out of any reel I have.
keep your eyes out, im releasing the Metanium MGL vs Met DC battle this week
Would love to see the regular scorpipn against the curado 70
I dont have a regular scorpion, just the 70 and the DC
puedo gastar hasta 300 dolares saludos si me puedes ayudar algo te lo agradeceria
Quanto custa
Wow, I could fish the lake from the parking lot if I could cast this far!
Lol well keep in mind i was throwing a casting plug, not many lures will fly through the air like that
Lure weight? (g.)
7
What smallest reel between Scorpion DC or CURADO ?
same size except the palm plate on the Scorpion DC is a little flatter
Always enjoy your videos. Wondering if you had the upgraded bearings in the Curado? I think that would put it a little closer to the DC. Still not beating it but gaining about another 10 feet. On Tactical Bassin's site I saw they got an advancement of the Curado K and fished it. Gave good reviews. Still wouldn't put it in a higher end category but better performance.
Saw that video too, not too sure of the looks of the K after seeing that lol. The Curado had its stock bearings.
Yes I dont like flat black but I like black with gloss clear. I honestly thought about getting one and buffing it to chrome and clear.. haha The brakes alone with the new gears should make it better though.
If they added a bearing to the main shaft like the did the Chronarch and Metanium MGL it should be butter with the MM gears. Ill wait to get mine in hand before I make a final judgement on looks :)

But throw in a few cheap bearings on the handle knobs and worm gear, you got a much smoother retrieve.
shimano bearing count maybe less but the S-ARBs are probably the best stock bearings out of all the manufacturers

Scorpion dc or curado K ?
the Scorpion is more special... and more expensive
What about in terms of performance?
hard to call, im going to do an all DC lipless crankbait battle soon including the scorpion. The K has already done that test and is the top caster so far in it.
THE REEL TEST looking forward to it !
I need your help again mi amigo , so ive been fishing with a 13 Fishing Concept C for a while now almost a year now, and It’s been slowly deteriorating , went out with it today and it’s loud on the retrieve and can feel the gears , not sure if it’s just because I’ve fished it hard and haven’t cleaned it or what but I was considering returning it and buying the scorpion instead , what do you think ?
getting one.
why so many bird nests
Because I couldnt see the plug hit the ground
ok thanks mate. keep on testing you are doing a great job :)
I wouldn’t trade my Curado for any reel......
