Curado/Scorpion
I am told by a Shimano rep that the Scorpion series reels are not made to
withstand American style Fishing as the gears are sub what Curado gears are.
I thought that the gears in the Scorpion where superior to the curado's??
Has anyone heard the different or is this true and the sales rep wasn't BS
:)

| I dunno about the gear question. But I am curious as to exactly what
"American style Fishing" is considered to be, as opposed to fishing
somewhere else. |

| I think means a lot more casting. More spinner baits and crankbaits. |

| From what I understand, Finesse Fishing is more common in Japan than it is
here in the U.S.A. Small lures, light line and tiny hooks are more in use
there than here. |

| Thanks for the explainations fellas, it was a genuine question. Not trying
to be a smarta$$ or anything. Leave it to us Americans to do something different than the rest of the
world. :-) |

| I was told by the Rep that the Japanese did more finesse fishing and not
with heavy line,hence the gears would not hold up. ?? |

| That's entirely a possibility. I do know that I have a number of Curados
and Chronarch SuperFrees that have held up admirably. I use them for both
bass fishing and throwing some fairly large lures for muskies, putting them
through more than I'm sure Shimano had intended them for. So me? I figure if it isn't broke, don't fix it. One of the nice things
about Curados and Chronarchs is that they are supported in the U.S., so if
you do need service, it can be done locally. |

| I agree I havent had a bit of trouble with my curado's either but I got a
Scorpion for Xmas :) and was wondering if they would hold up. |

| I got two scorpions Chris, and they are every bit abused as my curado, if |

| Thx, just didn't want to "pee in the pool" so to speak. This group is a
great place for info IMO, so I try to cause as little wake as possible when
I pass through. That, and ONE of these days, I wouldn't mind hooking up with some of you
guys at one of these tournaments and chewing the fat and telling fish
stories...and maybe even learning something about this fishing affliction I
seem to have. |
