Super Service OT Shimano Scorpions
Just wanted to take a moment and thank a fellow ROFB'er even if he does only
lurk.I just received my two new Shimano Scorpions in the mail from Brooklyn Bill,
even though I just sent payment yesterday. Talk about speedy service. Bill
has donated some of these reels in the past to the " R.O.F.B Classics" and I
find them to be about the best reel for the money... period. I now own 4 of
them and wouldn't mind having another one or two to tell you the truth. I
was outside pitching in the snow piles and can't wait till ice off...should
be soon. I'm even more excited about fishing the MTC this year. Just wanted
to say thanks again Bill. |

| How does that Shimano Scorpion compare with a Shimano Curado. Besides the
price. LOL I have one Curado, and I like it pretty well. I've been
considering gettig another one or two. |

| >price. LOL I have one Curado, and I like it pretty well. I've been
>considering gettig another one or two. IMO the Scorpions are the bee's knees. I used to have a Curado. Now I
have Scorpions. I would not go back. I prefer the size, weight and
feel of the Scorpion. I prefer the braking system(s) on the Scorpions.
Is the Scorpion my favorite reel? Nope. That's my Antares AR (also
available at Bill's Shop). But that's a horse of a different color all
together. For the money, there is no other reel I would own. I'm what
you would call a Scorpion junkie I suppose. Harry J aka Thundercat

| Randy, and anyone else with a Scorpion.
How do the Scorpions do with heavier baits? I have been reading about
them and everyone appears to think they are the greatest thing since
sliced bread for lighter, 1/4 or even less, baits. How is the outside
adjustment feature to set when changing to baits of different
weights/configurations? Any idea on US service in the near future?

| No problem here fishing heavier baits with them, I used them a bunch last
year pitching 1/2 oz pegged weights to craws, but man you can cast those
light lures a mile with em "Dan, danl, danny boy, Redbeard, actually Greybeard now" |
