dam0007 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Ok idk how to exactly word what I'm questioning so I'll explain. So Curado G Chronarch E have the longer handles and thicker grips. The Scorpion 1001XT which would be the equal to the Curado has a shorter handle and smaller grips. Does this play as well with the new Scorpion I and Curado I or are they both the same size and Metanium USA and JDM versions. Wanna pull the trigger on a Metanium and 2 newer Scorps. I'm not sure of all the lengths and info I have found was conflicting. Quote
JGBassinAL Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Scorpion 1001 XT is the same as the Curado 50E, I believe they had the same size handles. Metanium and new Scorpion will have the same size handles as the USDM versions. I'm actually not 100% sure that there is even a difference in the USDM and JDM Metanium, I'm pretty sure it's called the USDM version because it's actually offered in the US instead of having to buy it from Japan. Met XG has a 96 mm handle on it which is longer than the regular Met and the Met HG. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Yeah, I was under the impression that going forward the JDM and USDM reels would be exactly the same. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 There are differences between the Chronarch 50e and Scorpion 1000xt 1 Quote
bootytrain Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 There are differences between the Chronarch 50e and Scorpion 1000xt The bearings and the knobs. The Scorpion has better bearings and smaller knobs so its slightly lighter. Quote
John G Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Does the CH50E have an anti reverse pawl? I think it does. The XT1000 does not. I believe the new Scorpion has 4 bearing in the knobs as opposed to 2 in the new Curado. Quote

John G Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 The new Scorpion has 1 bearing and 1 bushing per knob. This must mean the new Curado has no bearings in the knobs cause the new Curado has 5 + 1 bearings. We learn something new everyday cause I thought the new Curado has 2 bearings and 2 bushings. Quote
clh121787 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I have a a chronarch 50 e and a 1000xt. The differences stated above are not noticeable at all to me. For the same price I'd go with the 1000xt just because they're more rare. But I wouldn't pay too much extra for one over a 50e Quote
