Re: On the look out for sticky reel grease

Shimano recommends their ACT 2 drag grease for their micro gears and Cal's is about the same.

Scorpion 19 MGL Parts List

Don't everyone laugh at once, but is it at all possible that there is an English version of the parts list out there somewhere? If not, which US model is closest to the internals of a Scorpion? Thanks much.

Struggling on Which Reel

Don't know whether to wait on the Curado 70 MGL, or go for a Scorpion 19 150 MGL. Cal gave the Scorpion a pretty good evaluation. I think it is a touch bigger than the 70 MGL.

Help On a Scorpion 19

I am looking at a Scorpion 19 150 MGL HG on Amazon and am not sure what I am looking at except the name has a great reputation. What does the 19 mean and is the HG speed the same as an HG Shimano in the U.S.? I have gift cards for Amazon and BPS, but BPS has no idea when they will get the Curado 70 ...

Re: 200e7 Thumb Bar

Have you had it apart? If the pinion yoke is in upside down that will do it, or the yoke is in backwards.

Re: tsi 321

I believe the makers of TSI products have said they are not compatible with with other grease and oils. Be sure there is no trace of either if TSI is to be applied to the same surface on which they had been used.

Re: SLX XT

I bought the SLX XG and pepped it up with Hedgehog SS half open spool bearings, put a bearing on the drive shaft and swapped the drag discs with Carbon Tex (used the Curado XG Carbon Tex). Sweet little reel now.

Re: Lubing Hedgehog ZR bearings
