The Scorpion DC is a bada$$ looking reel.. you just need to take better pictures of it dude :lol: Ever think of trying the aluminum drag star from the Curado E? Should be a bolt in proposition no? ya i know, i need a better digi....but if you really wanna go there you should see my real work....mam...

Jesus that thing is a beast! And its only barely halfway out of the water! I hope he took more pictures than that Did he weight it? Might be a record

That is one sick combo! Id be happy just letting it sit and looking at it all day Cant wait to hear about how it performs.

Wow even 6 to 7 years on the Calais DC still looks freakin awesome. Its got to have the best looking cast control knob Ive ever seen

fixed.

That would be a devastating combo.. you should be the first and give a report

I agree with Bantam. 13 years ago I could buy a gallon of gas for .70 cents at some gas stations. Gas has went up by x4 so everything is going to go up.

Nice acquisitions! Give us a review of that bad boy

Oi.. that is sick! Factory tuned for finesse.. dont know about that dragstar though..

Wow thats approaching Calais DC price territory..

They should be the same reel, only the Calais has a longer handle if I recall and that might be the reason for the weight difference of 9.5 oz vs 8.8 oz.. Post pics of that beauty and tell us your thoughts on its performance.

The new 2012 Shimano Antares looks like a winner for distance. They have videos of Shimano Japan guys making almost 100 yard casts.
