17 Scorpion DC question

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

17 Scorpion DC question

Post by robsone79 » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:30 pm

Hello TT,
I got an itchy finger and want to pull the trigger on a Scorpion DC or a 70. My question is can the dc handle say 3/16 lures and up? I’ve read that the dc’s need a minimum weight to function properly. I’m not sure so I was hoping to get some clarification on that subject.
Thanks in advance and tight lines

Yes, DC can handle 3/16...Even less,but lure should flying well

I just picked up this reel while I was in Japan a few weeks ago, and was just going to ask about casting 3/16 oz sized lures. Great info as always on this forum :mrgreen:
