Super User Master Bait'r Posted November 19, 2014 Super User Posted November 19, 2014 Hootie's got a hottie! The JDM bait monkey is even more deadly than the domestic one... Karate and ninja tactics! That all burgundy combo is sick. Nice work! Love a matching combo! 2 Quote
Maico1 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 It looks to me like you just put a little extra Hoot in Hootie......Take a picture of it mounted on your SBR as it should look reel sweet and again congratulations. 1 Quote

Super User *Hootie Posted November 19, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 19, 2014 Excesence DC. Actually, I would like to "MAYBE", {yes I know I said that about the Scorpion}, get another Core 100MG before they disappear. Hootie Quote

ChrisWi Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Whats the difference between the Curado and Scorpion other than the color and where there made? Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted November 24, 2014 Super User Posted November 24, 2014 Whats the difference between the Curado and Scorpion other than the color and where there made? Status. You become part of another group (Enthusiast) when you buy/use JDM reels. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted November 24, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 24, 2014 Status, and two more bearings. That's about it as far as I can tell. Oh, and the manual is in Japanese. Can't read anything in it. I have a question. This being not available for sale in the U.S., why are all the markings on the reel in English. Hootie Quote

Hootie They are great people to buy from but it's shame that we have to wait till the holidays to get competitive prices. 1 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted December 2, 2014 Author Super User Posted December 2, 2014 They are great people to buy from but it's shame that we have to wait till the holidays to get competitive prices. The scorpion was my first purchase from them. I didn't realize these were holiday prices. I just assumed their prices were always like this. Hootie Quote

Hootie They are usually one of the more expensive JDM vendors. My Scorpion and the handle were on sale so I saved a little bit and for that, I am happy. 1 Quote

Super User *Hootie Posted December 2, 2014 Author Super User Posted December 2, 2014 Hootie... please don't waste this reel on a spinnerbait rod! Find a perfect light jerkbait rod... oe No, Maico just wanted to see a picture of it on that rod. Right now it's on a GLX 803c. I'll probably have it on a half dozen different rods before fishing season rolls around and I decide how I really want to use it. Hootie Quote
