Gnarwhal Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 In Shimano's JDM line up, what would be the closest equivalent to a USA Tranx 201? Quote
Solution Tatulatard Posted June 8, 2023 Solution Posted June 8, 2023 Scorpion 150 MGL or scorpion DC. Same platform but with an MGL spool or DC system. Think of it as a curado 200k spectrum. Scorpion 150 mgl on the finesse side, curado 200k and DC reels in the middle and tranx 200 on the power/salt side. They have the tranx 300 as the scorpion 300 MD too but the tranx 200 is unrelated to the tranx 300. It's actually a curado 200k platform reel. 1 Quote
Gnarwhal Posted June 8, 2023 Author Posted June 8, 2023 Interesting. I already have a Scorpion DC. I'm looking for an ocean reel and wasn't sure how it would hold up to the salt. They seem to have a lot more JDM salty reels than offered in the USA. Besides the Scorp 300MD does anything stand out to you as a good power/salty reel in the 200/300 size range? Casting 1-2oz swimbaits to Lingcod, Cabazon and Rockfish would be the use. Quote
