Not sure if this has been brought up already, any word on the Scorpion version of this reel. Will Shimano be producing a Scorpion 70 k? They have produced a scorpion version of all the newest curados so far so they will most likely have one of this model coming out. I'm hoping they do anyways, I'd ...

Fantastic work.

Interested parties. There is a new Steez CT SV TW special order out. Two spool options. Shallow is 8lb 25 to 50m capacity.

Thanks for the quick follow up Cal. That is good to hear.

Thanks.

Yes Cal, thats the one. Most we get here are good to swing a blade off, but, the ring itself is not attached to anything substantial and pull out under the weight of a good fish. Thanks for the quick response.

Cal, any chance you could check how well the custom hook hanger is attached ? Some similar attachment points are not very secure and pull out quite easily as they are only set into the lead weight and not firmly attached to the hook itself. Thanks.

Has anyone found a gear set to increase the ratio in a 100 size Calcutta Conquest. Would like to bump up to in the 7s if possible. Thanks.

If you want an even neater FG knot, look at a Rizutto finish. Does add another level of complexity to an already frustrating knot.tho.
